With multi-hop communication function, KL5BPLC250WMP BlueChip PLC Chip ensures stable communication over wide area by allowing terminal to bridge to other terminal devices and hop over great distances. Multi-hop function enables communication between Master and Terminal even when no direct communication link is possible between them by using Terminal as relay point. Adopting ITU-T G.9905 standard as routing protocol, BlueChip PLC allows up to 10-phase hopping.
