communications is an innovative technique that provides low-cost, high
performance communications directly between relays. The communications message contains
information to exchange internal logic directly between relays. Applications for M

compatible with communication devices which require a specific character bit count, such as
point-to-point spread spectrum (900 MHz) radios.
