Antenna
Feed Cable
A whitespace communication link is established between the base station and client station
allowing the client side networking devices to connect to the Internet. Multiple client units may connect
to the same base station. From the IP networking perspective, the base station acts like a layer 2 bridge
to the client-side networking devices connected to the client control PC. As shown in the following
figure, both the base control PC and the client side broadband router will have IP addresses on the
hosting subnet. Multiple client side devices may be visible on the subnet if the broadband router is
replaced with a switch.
