Infrastructure - Proxim RangeLAN2 752 Series Manual

Infrastructure

Many companies have an existing Ethernet or wired LAN infra-
structure and want to be able to extend that capability to wireless
nodes. This is accomplished by attaching an Access Point to the
wired LAN which allows the wireless clients to access the net-
work resources.

For larger environments, RangeLAN2 products support the ability
to roam from one wireless cell to another while maintaining the
same network connection. The Access Points establish coverage
areas or cells similar in concept to those of a cellular phone
network. The mobile clients will connect with any Access Point
that is within range.
