2.7 NETWORKS

Many networks use a star topology, where all loggers can send data directly to
the gateway. Other networks use a mesh topology, in which loggers will relay
data from any logger that might be blocked, or out of range from the gateway.
GeoNet networks are self-healing. This means that GeoNet will switch to a
mesh topology so that loggers will automatically relay data from troubled
loggers to the gateway, if needed.
GeoNet networks are self-configuring, meaning that the switch from a star
topology to a mesh topology is automatic, and the loggers will determine for
themselves which will relay data to the gateway.
