StrongMesh Wireless Coordinator
The WCM-2 Wireless Coordinator Module is the heart of the Net/X StrongMesh wireless thermostat system. This is a direct drop-in replacement of the obsoleted WCM-1. Based on state-of-the-art wireless mesh network technology, the coordinator handles all wireless communications with the WBM series of back plates, allowing seamless communications with Net/X thermostats without pulling any communications cable. The integrated RF transceiver offers unmatched performance in a 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4 module. With a tested outdoor line-of-site range of over 3,000 feet from the WCM-2 to a WBM-1 backplate before hopping, the module supplies the power and reliability needed for practically any building. And because the WCM-2 coordinates the mesh (or hops) between the other modules in the network, each thermostat's RF transceiver acts as a repeater, allowing networks of virtually any size and range.
