When is it a good idea to revisit receiver position or add a receiver?
The configuration below illustrates a situation that can be improved by
moving or adding a receiver. In this case, the last link between the Level
1 module and the receiver can be considered a critical path for multiple
end-point modules. In this example below the data load will shorten the
module battery life. In addition should the level one end-point module
fail, there will be no additional path for automatic reconnection.

branch
This same network branch can be optimized by placing the receiver in a
more central location.
