The Niles RFG Radio Frequency Gateway is a highly flexible tool that allows system designers
to add a ZigBee radio transmitter/receiver to Niles MultiZone products or extend the Radio
Frequency receiver of the Niles HT-MSU Home Theater Main System Unit.
Multiple RFGs are used to create an RF mesh network. RF mesh networks require at least
a transmitter and a receiver, however in large installations repeater bases can be used.
