What’s nice about this system is that the base station can be powered by either L series style batteries or AC wall plug so you can use it in the field. It is also hot-swappable, so you can replace the batteries without turning the system off.
The Base Station has an RJ45 style port which can be used to connect a second base station for a maximum of 8 belt packs.
