Varec wireless products are able to function over point-to-point or multi-point systems. Traditionally, a multi-point network is used in applications where data is collected from many instruments and reported back to one central site.

Point-to-Point Systems - A point-to-point system is limited to one master and one slave transceiver. Repeaters may be added in to extend the reach of the network, but no other master or slave may be added.

Multi-Point Systems - In a multi-point system, the transceiver, designated as a master, is able to simultaneously be in communication with numerous slaves. In its simplest form, a tank gauging multi-point network functions with the master (8420 WBT) broadcasting its messages to all slaves (8410 WFT) and the slaves responding to the master when given data by the connected tank gauge or tank gauge transmitter.
