WIRELESS THEORY OF OPERATION
In any weather station setup, there are two types of wireless equipment: transmitters and
receivers. A transmitter is an outside Station, like the ISS (Integrated Sensor Suite), a Leaf/Soil
Station, or a Temperature/Humidity Station. A receiver is either a Console or an Envoy.
A repeater falls into both categories: It both receives data and retransmits data. A display
console or Envoy can also function as a repeater and retransmit data in addition to its basic
function as a receiver. The basic function of a repeater is to extend the range of a transmitter
by receiving data and re-transmitting it.
For example, if your transmitter is over 1000’ (300 m) away from your receiver, and/or your
receiver is indoors, you may need to place a repeater close enough to the transmitter (say,
1000’ (300 m) away) so that it can reliably receive the transmitter, yet close enough to the
receiver that it can reliably hear the repeater.
