LANCOM 3550 Wireless

Chapter 1: Introduction

Larger Wireless LANs, connection to LANs with one or more base stations (infrastructure network)

Setting-up of an Internet access

Connecting two LANs via a direct radio link (point-to-point mode) Connecting of devices with Ethernet interface via base stations (client mode)

Extending an existing Ethernet network with WLAN (bridge mode) Relay function for connecting networks via multiple access points.

1.2The advantages of the UMTS/HSPDA solution

The combination of UMTS/HSPDA, WLAN, DSL and VPN opens up a com- pletely new range of possibilities in enterprise connectivity—for example, mobile conference rooms that are connected via UMTS/HSPDA and offer Inter- net access over WLAN or access to the company network via VPN. As a back- up connection for site coupling, UMTS/HSPDA is cheaper and/or faster than the conventional alternatives, ISDN and Analog. Furthermore, it is signifi- cantly less prone to failure as there are no cables which are at risk from con- struction works. Apart from that, UMTS/HSPDA is able to bridge the “last mile” for customers who do not have access to an equivalent broad-band connection.

The UMTS/HSPDA card is simply operated in the CardBus expansion slot of the appropriate LANCOM devices. The device automatically switches Internet access between UMTS/HSPDA and GPRS depending on availability.

1.2.1“Last mile“ via UMTS/HSPDA

The Internet connection over UMTS/HSPDA is recommendable wherever a broadband Internet connection is not available. When accessing the Internet with UMTS/HSPDA you can currently reach significant higher downstream rates than with an ISDN connection.
