Wireless communication is provided among a plurality of repeaters (12-18) that are synchronized for communication with a central master repeater (11). The repeaters (11-18) constitute a wireless backbone network (100) where frequency hopping is used to automatically establish synchronization despite dynamic changes in the wireless network (100). A repeater (12-18) introduced to the network automatically scans for and synchronizes to another repeater (12-18), while it continues at the same time to listen to other repeater signals (200) identifying the master repeater (11) or another repeater (12-18) closer to the master repeater (11), so as to communicate with the master repeater (11) through a more direct communication link (19).
