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 Wireless
Bridge Configuration. One Wireless Bridge is designated as
the central site. Its antenna is configured to transmit and
receive signals from the Wireless 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 Wireless Bridges are typically
served by directional antennas that direct radio signals
toward the central site.
Under a Multipoint Wireless Bridge Configuration,
workstations on any of the LANs can communicate with
other workstations or with any workstations on the remote
LANs.
