Access Point (AP) refers to Symbol's Ethernet Access Point.
It is a piece of communications equipment that manages
communications between the host computer system and
one or more wireless terminals. An AP connects to a wired
Ethernet LAN and acts as a bridge between the Ethernet
wired network and IEEE 802.11 interoperable radio-
equipped mobile units, such as a mobile computer. The AP
allows a mobile user to roam freely through a facility while
maintaining a seamless connection to the wired network.
