relay device

Abstract

This product provides a relay device that allows for easy installation without the need for specialized measuring equipment or expertise. [Solution] The relay device 100 of the present invention comprises: a receiving unit 101 that receives data transmitted from a first communication device using a first communication method; a first transmitting unit 104 that transmits the data to a second communication device using the first communication method; and a second transmitting unit 105 that transmits the data to a third communication device different from the second communication device using a second communication method that has a shorter communication range than the first communication method.

Claims
