Fig An Example of Infrastructure Wireless LAN
The AmbiCom WL1100X Wireless LAN devices provide access to a wired LAN for wireless
workstations. An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration.
A group of wireless LAN PC users and an Access Point construct a Basic Service Set (BSS).
Each wireless-equipped PC in this BSS can talk to any computer in the wired LAN infrastructure
via the Access Point.
Infrastructure configuration will extend the accessibility of a wireless station to the wired LAN.
Multiple Access Points will allow roaming and it will increase the transmission range. The
Access Point is also able to forward data within its BSS. The effective transmission range in an
infrastructure LAN is doubled.
