3 Building the wireless network
3.1 Designing the wireless network
In the mesh network, the base unit should be located in the centre of the network to achieve the
optimal network functionality. However, the central base unit positioning is not always possible. In
these situations, you should consider carefully the used devices in the network.

MESH can be fully battery operated. If your network has transmitters with external
power supply, the network will prefer these when routing the messages. When designing a bigger
network these external power supply devices can be used as the backbone of the network. If there is
power loss in external power supply, battery operated devices will route traffic normally.
It is recommended to install more than one routing transmitter within the base unit signal range.
This improves the network functionality and reliability. The following figures illustrate the network re-
routing functionality when a routing transmitter is disconnected from network.
