Example of Infrastructure Wireless LAN
The Pretec CompactWLAN provides access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations. An
integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of wireless LAN
PC users and an Access Point construct a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each wireless-equipped PC in
this BSS can talk to any computer in the wired LAN infrastructure via the Access Point.
Infrastructure configuration will extend the accessibility of a wireless station to the wired LAN.
Multiple Access Points will allow roaming and it will increase the transmission range. The Access
Point is also able to forward data within its BSS. The effective transmission range in an infrastructure
LAN is doubled.
