1.3.4 The BreezeNET PRO.11 Workgroup Bridge
The BreezeNET Workgroup Bridge is a high-speed, wide-range wireless LAN
bridge that provides connectivity to remote Ethernet networks.

External Antenna Connector Ports
The Workgroup Bridge communicates with the Access Points of the remote LANs,
effectively creating an extended wireless network spanning sites situated up to 6
miles apart (in Europe, this range is limited by ETSI regulations to 2.5 Km; in
deregulated regions, this range can be up to 60 Km). In this way a central Ethernet
LAN may be connected with one or more branch office LANs.
In addition, an island consisting of a Workgroup Bridge together with an Access
Point can work as a relay. Transmissions from the central LAN and from the remote
LAN are relayed via the island located between them. This configuration
effectively doubles the bridge range.
Workstations that can be connected to the wireless LAN include PCs, X-Terminals
and any other device that supports Ethernet. The unit is transparent to the
workgroup devices’ hardware, software, and network operating system.
