WIRELESS NETWORK TOPOLOGIES

You can use the MP.11 to set up the following types of topologies:

Point-to-Point Link (below) Point-to-Multipoint Network (on page 6)

A link between two locations always consists of a Base and a Satellite station. A station is a radio set up as either a Base Station or a (Residential) Subscriber Unit. A Base station can, depending upon its configuration, connect to one or more Satellite stations. A Satellite station, however, can only connect to one Base station.

Point-to-Point Link

With a Base and a Satellite station or QuickBridge 11 kit, it is easy to set up a wireless Point-to-Point link as depicted in the following figure.

The Point-to-Point link function lets you set up a connection between two locations as an alternative to:

Leased lines in building-to-building connections

Wired Ethernet backbones between wireless access points in “hard-to-wire” environments
