3.2.1. Overview
Wireless network architectures
Depending on the network design and the type of components used, the
Cisco FM4200 Fiber can be used to create wireless network architectures,
including:
• Point-to-point (P2P) links.
• Point-to-multipoint (PTMP) sectors.
• Mesh networks.
• Mobility networks.
• Mixed networks that are capable of using any combination of types
listed above.
The FluidMAX TDMA protocol
Individual radio transceivers can easily be assigned different roles within
the same network, using Cisco's patented FluidMAX™ technology. A
typical example of a general network architecture that uses a combination
of Cisco components is shown below:
