BT System Range Extenders

bt System

Range extenders are a MUST for every BT System to operate reliably. They repeat and strengthen the communication between all system components, operating as a “mesh network”.

Communication signal strength can be reduced by physical obstructions (buildings, landscape features, etc.), intermittent communication interference (competing signals, static, signal noise, magnetic fields, etc.), weather and more.

You want a reliable installation! Avoid parts of your BT fixture network going off-line by creating a strong network of range extenders.

Range extenders are assigned to a specific network. If you have multiple networks on a property, separate range extender groups will be needed for each network.
