NCB/RF
The LonWorks® Router for Radio Links
The NCB-RF Network Combiner Module is a member of CTI Product's growing family of WONª Wide Operating Network devices that, when used in pairs, allows multiple LonWorks networks to be connected in real time, spanning distances beyond the reach of conventional wiring. Radios are used to span the distance between LonWorks Networks. No cabling is necessary between these radios. Data transfer between distant networks via an NCB-RF module pair is "live", delayed only by the transit time through the routers and the data rate across the RF link.
