Building-to-building connections
You can also use local mesh to create point-to-point links over longer distances. in this
scenario, two dual-radio APs create a wireless link between networks in two adjacent
buildings. Each AP is equipped with a directional external antenna attached to radio 1 to
provide the wireless link. Omnidirectional antennas are installed on radio 2 to provide AP
capabilities. The two APs are placed within line of sight.
