Detailed analysis on network construction of Wireless AP in wireless hybrid mode

The previous article introduced several Wireless AP modes: point-to-point, point-to-point, and AP Client. Next we will introduce the wireless hybrid mode. Because the independent Wireless AP model cannot fully meet our complicated and changing environment, we want to combine several modes to build a compound wireless network.

The wireless hybrid mode, as its name implies, is to build a wireless network group. Due to various complex reasons, such as terrain restrictions, distance, and the degree of use of the network and the differences in the mode, A complex network structure needs to be established and mixed use of multiple network construction modes can meet the requirements. This networking mode is called an infinite hybrid mode.

Wireless hybrid mode

The wireless hybrid mode of the Wireless Distributed System (WDS) can support AP in point-to-point, point-to-point, and relay application modes, and work in two working modes at the same time: bridge Mode and AP mode. This wireless hybrid mode fully demonstrates the flexible and simple networking features. To implement this function, the AP must support at least two working modes: AP Client and WDS. The application of the wireless hybrid mode is flexible and simple, and can be implemented according to the specific networking object and networking requirements.

The wireless hybrid mode is widely used, and the use of modern networks is complex. If all kinds of environments are available, different models must be used to adapt to such environments. In this way, the final wireless networking mode becomes hybrid. This type of network is suitable for long-distance points, close-distance points, and blocked points of buildings or mountains. When constructing this network, the above several types of network methods are used comprehensively, point-to-point is used for long-distance points. Point-to-point is used for multiple points at close distance, and blocked points are retransmitted, at the same time, you need to use the basic architecture Inside the mobile office network.

Currently, a large enterprise has a long history of assets. It integrates production, supply, and sales, and has a wide building area and buildings under the Enterprise. The enterprise headquarters is far away from the production base, with a distance of about six to seven kilometers. The terrain is relatively open and there are some buildings in the middle. Today, enterprises have decided to restructure their networks. There is no possibility of laying leased lines on the terrain. They have been renting Telecom leased lines, and the cost is also high. In the long run, enterprises decide to set up a wireless channel in the production base, Headquarters management center, and sales market center, and use wireless networks to share networks and connect networks of several departments.

Enterprises like this are complex, and the network architecture is also relatively large and complex. They use several models proposed by the Wireless Distributed System for hybrid networking, that is, an infinite hybrid network is built to adapt to the complexity and diversity of this enterprise network. In the enterprise headquarters, due to the characteristics of modern networks and the development of wireless devices, we can establish a wireless office network environment through the AP model, that is, the basic architecture model, at the same time, if this is required in the production base, sales center, and other places, you can also set up a wireless office environment to implement a wireless network architecture at the grass-roots level.

When connecting the headquarters to the production base and the sales center, due to the long distance and some obstacles in the middle, we use the wireless relay mode to connect the local area network to implement the architecture of the wireless backbone network. In the production base, there are many factories and workshops. The connection between each building can be implemented using a central Wireless AP and point-to-point Multi-Point Bridge Mode to connect each LAN. There are not many buildings, if there are only two buildings that only two LAN networks need to be connected, point-to-point bridging can be used to achieve network connection and sharing. In some special cases, the AP Client mode must be used to meet special requirements. However, in hybrid mode, due to the formation of various network rules, this mode does not use many scenarios.

Hybrid Wireless Network Construction

Through the above brief analysis, we know the applicable scenarios of the wireless hybrid mode, which can build a complex wireless network structure. Generally, a wireless network can be set up in the hybrid wireless mode. However, the establishment of a network with mixed network cables requires high technical and hardware equipment requirements. Therefore, we must consider the overall situation, there must be a complete set of feasible network setup solutions to ensure the quality of the network architecture from a technical perspective. When purchasing hardware devices, You must select AP devices with good network performance and various targeted antennas that meet the requirements. At the same time, we also need to do a good job of protection measures for various hardware devices. When building a network, security is also an important factor to consider. You also need to consider the security of technologies and hardware devices.

The innovative wireless distributed system (WDS) in the wireless LAN has changed the original single and simple wireless application model. For example, when you select a wireless WDS solution for large hotspot areas and enterprise users, you can connect to each AP through various optional wireless application methods, this greatly improves the flexibility and convenience of the entire network structure. It is particularly worth mentioning that this allows wireless network users to invest less in wireless devices to implement more functions.

The Wireless Distributed System enriches wireless application modes and meets the requirements of enterprise users for wireless networking flexibility. The Wireless Distributed System (WDS) provides a new technology and path for the development of wireless networks. The rational design and selection of wireless networks for Wireless Distributed Systems (WDS) can better support and meet the needs of enterprises, public networks, and telecom hot spots, in this way, the maximum coverage area and the maximum network function are achieved.

The wireless hybrid mode provides a feasible solution for network construction in various situations. The difficulties and solutions of networking are considered comprehensively. In the wireless networking environment of large hotspot areas and enterprise users, the solution of wireless WDS technology can achieve wireless coverage in this region, you can also use an optional targeted antenna to connect similar devices that support WDS remotely. This greatly improves the flexibility and convenience of the entire network structure. As long as the antenna is changed, the wireless network can be expanded to cover or bridge the network, so that wireless network builders can purchase as few wireless devices as possible, achieve a variety of connected networking projects for wireless LAN to reduce the cost of networking.
