Wireless Access Points_ Types of the Wireless Access Point

Wireless access points are radio transmitters that, like computers, serve as nodes in a local area network (LAN). The radio frequencies utilised are defined by the 802.11 standard, and wireless access points (WAPs) serve as the connecting point for both sending and receiving wireless radio signals, which are then physically connected to an organizationu2019s LAN. The wireless interface cards (b, g, or n) contained in these transmitters will control how much and how far the wireless network expands or broadcasts. The type of WAP utilised determines whether the wireless access point also functions a

  2. Single Radio/ Dual Radio Access Points: Some Access Points have a single radio and can operate in either IEEE 802.11a or b/g mode. Because most network adaptors adhere to the b/g standard, the majority of them operate in that mode. However, some Access Points include a dual radio option. One radio operates in IEEE 802.11a while the other operates in IEEE 802.11b/g or possibly IEEE 802.11 b/g/n. Dual radio Access Points are helpful for mesh networking, providing access to laptops with only 802.11a network adapters, and wireless intrusion scanning/prevention.

  3. Divided by Applications: Commercial AP and Enterprise AP Commercial AP: Suitable for commercial environments, such as hotels, guesthouses, KTVs, supermarkets, restaurants and other places, which require aesthetics and have many access users. Enterprise-level AP: It is suitable for use in large enterprises, companies and other places, and has high security requirements. Commercial APs can also be used in enterprises.

  4. Support for Mesh Networking: Mesh networking is supported by several vendors in dual radio Access Points. While one radio of the AP communicates to the clients, say in 802.11b/g, the other radio establishes point-to-point back-end communication to a neighbouring Access Point, say in 802.11a (which is comparable to this one), therefore eliminating the data cable connecting to the AP (but not the power cable). Though the APs can connect in this manner, the available bandwidth to the final Access Point (from the wired network) is halved with each hop. So, farther the AP to the wired network, lesser is the bandwidth.

  5. Divided by controller needed: Standalone AP and Controller Needed AP Standalone AP:It’s mostly used in high-demand environments. Generally, authentication servers or switches that support authentication functions are necessary to acquire bai certification. This AP requires a specific wireless controller and can only be used when the wireless controller has been configured. It is not self-configuring and is best suited for large-scale wireless deployment. Cisco wireless controllers are required for some Cisco access points.
