Wireless I/O Accessories for Vertu VWB2000 Series

Vertu® Series VWB2130 Point-to-Point Wireless Repeater Description

Acromag VWB2130 wireless signal repeaters are used to retransmit wireless signals when connectivity between VWB2201 wireless units is an issue. They are incredibly simple to install as they only require power and a network ID. Any units in range of the repeater with the same network ID will retransmit through it, thus increasing signal strength. Use repeaters to broadcast over very long distances or around permanent obstacles.
