One technology that has made Z-Wave the leading standard for home automation is its use of mesh communication. With it, Z-Wave devices talk to each other, relaying their communication across the network via other, mains powered devices. Z-Wave devices communicate this way, as do Z-Wave hubs. But you don't always have a mains-powered Z-Wave device exactly where you need it, so mesh networks can end up with dark spots and you can encounter poor performance.

Range Extender 7, a dedicated Z-Wave repeater and amplifier, solves Z-Wave networking issues. Installed in areas of weak performance, Z-Wave devices will automatically route their communication via it. Range Extender 7 will then amplify and repeat the signals on through the rest of your Z-Wave network or send those signals direct to your automation hub.
