====== Ant (Xbee Box) ======

===== Introduction =====

The Ant Weatherbox is the first generation communication module that is designed to relay meteorological data collected by other weatherboxes.  The main goal for this design is for it to act like a router that assist in extending the range of communication under various weather conditions with other weatherboxes.
