    As a wireless base station, the 9160 G2 communicates with the wired base station and mobile computers using 802.11 WDS. As an RRM, the operation and timing of the 9160 G2’s radio link to the mobile computers is directly controlled by a network controller that uses a timeplexing radio protocol (see “Timeplexing And Cellular Switching”, below).
