A network including a host device and a plurality of transceiver beacons
for communicating data from terminal devices interacting with the beacons,
to the host. The beacons include identification codes used by the host for
establishing wireless communication links either between a beacon and the
host, or between two or more beacons. A routing mechanism is included in
the beacons for selecting a most favorable transmission path among
available paths for communicating data to the host.
