CHAPTER 1
System Overview
1.1 Introduction
This chapter provides:
•
A basic understanding of how a wireless router system functions
•
How wireless systems self-configure
Wireless router networks bypass the wired local loop with fast “always-
on” wireless Internet access.
The Nokia AIR™ Operating System (OS) provides intelligence, security
and ease of use to make wireless networks practical, simple to deploy, and
cost effective. Wireless Internet or intranet access across a network is
completely transparent to the end user.
The Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Routers, Models R242/242A, are both
wireless Internet access devices and IP routers. The wireless router units
operate in a mesh network where line of sight access is required to only
one other wireless router.
