A booster amplifies the signal from the transmitter or repeater. There is an indoor and an outdoor version of the boosters. The indoor booster is 500mW, the outdoor booster is 1000mW, which is the maximum allowed by the FCC. The outdoor booster is also IP65 rated. A repeater receives, processes, and retransmits the signal to extend the W-DMX coverage. A transceiver can be used as a transmitter, receiver, or a repeater. For that reason it is often the component of choice for rental systems. The linked PDF below illustrates some of the way these components can be used.
