Central Unit in an All-Wireless Network
In an all-wireless network, an access point acts as a stand-alone root unit. The
access point is not attached to a wired LAN; it functions as a hub linking all
stations together. The access point serves as the focal point for communications,
increasing the communication range of wireless users. Figure 1-3 shows an access
point in an all-wireless network.
