What is Smart Hopping and how does it work?
A. Smart Hopping is a technique whereby blocked channels within the hop band are avoided. The Base acquires data on the channel occupancy within the hop band and periodically sends data to the Slaves instead of sync, allowing the net to avoid occupied channels. The Smart Hopping cycle comprises of 9 minutes where all channels are hopped over, followed by 24 minutes where channel avoidance is activated.
