Point-to-Multipoint Wireless Bridge

When connecting three or more LANs (usually in different

buildings), each building requires an Aironet Wireless Bridge

and antenna. This is called a ‘multipoint’ bridge

configuration. One bridge is designated as the central site

and its antenna is configured to transmit and receive signals

from the bridges at the other sites. Generally, the central

site is equipped with an omni-directional antenna that

provides radio signal coverage in all directions. The other

bridges are typically served by directional antennas that

direct radio signals toward the central site.

Under a multipoint wireless bridge configuration, work-

stations on any of the LANs can communicate with other

workstations on their respective LAN or with any worksta-

tions on the remote LANs.
