range covered by 5 hops where the last position
recorded represents the safest furthest position that
can be covered by a single controller (Fig. 12) and

If more than 5 hops could be required by any
device, we recommend adding another controller
with wireless communication card. (Fig. 13).
Please note that a hop in this case is defined as
the maximum linear connectivity between 2
devices independently of other devices being

Once the network is deployed and all wireless
thermostats are present and functioning as routers, the
ability of the network to efficiently route wireless signals
cannot be compared to this simple survey analysis
method.
