Infrastructure
Many companies have an existing Ethernet or wired LAN infrastructure and want to be able
to extend that capability to wireless nodes. This is accomplished by attaching an Access
Point to the wired LAN. This allows the wireless clients to access the network re-
sources.

Single AP
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.
