Wireless Multipoint Protocol
Campus Cell PRC features provide multipoint networking, improved performance, and increased
reliability. In multipoint networks, a SPEEDLAN 4100 acts as a central base station with responsibility
to manage the flow of data within the radio cell. When necessary, packets are repeated or
retransmitted by this brouter, allowing communications between multiple remote networks by using
SPEEDLAN 4200.
