- Communication between the components are standard protocols, giving a large variety of communication methods, such as wireless, network cables, fibre optic cables, the use of modems, or a combination of these.
- The system automatically calibrates to any calibre and distance and handles both supersonic and subsonic ammunition.

Each target line (if multiple) contains an antenna, a cabinet with power and switch for connecting the targets, and the targets. The targets are interconnected with one cable that provides both signals and power.
On the firing line there is one antenna that sends and receives information form the targets and communicate with the wireless shooter monitors and any other displays or computers connected. The cabinet contains the server (eHub), power and an optional connection to the internet.
