Point-to-multipoint topology allows communication among three or more
buildings. In the central building, an access point equipped with an
omnidirectional antenna provides wireless association among the wired LANs in
the other buildings where 3Com outdoor bridges are installed.
If a 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point 8000 is used (with an 8dBi
omnidirectional antenna) this topology can connect wired LANs over distances up
to 10 kilometers (6 miles). If an access point from another Wi-Fi compliant
manufacturer is used, the range depends on that manufacturer’s device
limitations.
