Safari Network Components
A typical Safari Network is made up of several components
interfaced together in order to achieve maximum
productivity and range throughout a project.
The minimum requirements for a Safari Network are one
Network Control Unit (NCU), and one Remote Unit (RU).
A Safari Network must have at least one NCU, and can
contain as many as 400 RUs and SCUs. Multiple NCUs
could be synchronized to a master NCU for simultaneous
interference-free operation to improve data throughput.
The Safari Network usually consists of two modules, a
Radio Module (NCU, SCU, or RU) and a Port Expander. A
systems integrator could opt to interface directly to J1 and
J2 without using the Safari Network Port Expander.
