WIRELESS NETWORK TOPOLOGIES

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

▪Point-to-Point Link (below)

▪Point-to-Multipoint Network (on page 7)

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 connect only to one Base station.

Point-to-Point Link

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

A point-to-point link 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
