Messages are communicated via a backbone radio network, which makes use of
repeaters to relay messages around the network.
Due to the multi-hop nature of the backbone network, the physical shape and size of
the network is defined by the layout of the repeaters, which may be in three
dimensions e.g. covering multiple floors in a building.
EkoTek is truly wireless (only the hub needs AC power), making installation and
expansion very quick and easy.
