An FS II communication system

An FS II system consists of three main elements:
 The wireless beltpacks.
 The Base station that routes communication to and from wireless
beltpacks and other audio devices, and also allows you to configure the FS
II system.
 The transceiver network that provide custom coverage zones in which
beltpacks can operate. Beltpacks can roam freely between coverage
zones.
FS II also includes a drop-in battery charger for the beltpack Li-Ion batteries. You
can conveniently charge the battery by placing the whole beltpack into the
charger.
FS II operates using a cellular network of antennas located around a working
environment. The antennas connect directly to the FS II Base station with CAT-5
cable. Each antenna provides an area or cell in which four to five full-duplex
beltpacks can operate. Figure 2-2 shows an example configuration.
Beltpacks can roam among and between cells without disconnecting because each
beltpack continually signals an antenna as to the strongest available signal. When
the signal from an antenna starts to diminish due to the distance from a beltpack,
the beltpack automatically "hands off" its signal to the nearest antenna, ensuring
smooth transfer.
