Wireless Bridge Overview
Aironet Wireless Bridges enable you to connect two or more
Token Ring and/or Ethernet networks to create a single
virtual LAN. The workstations on each LAN can communi-
cate with each other over the Wireless Bridges as if they
were on the same physical LAN.
When connecting two or more LANs, each LAN uses an
Aironet Wireless Bridge and an antenna to transmit and
receive information between the LANs. Each RF-based
Bridge unit is connected to a LAN. Aironet offers a variety of
antennas to satisfy varying communication requirements
often dictated by premise considerations.
A wireless bridge appears as a single network node on the
wired LAN. It performs routing functions by moving packets
from the wireless LAN to remote workstations on the radio
network. Aironet Wireless Bridges support Direct Sequence
(DS) spread spectrum radios at frequencies of either 900
MHz or 2.4 GHz.
