Infrastructure Network - An infrastructure network is a group of computers or
other devices, each with a wireless adapter, connected as an 802.11 wireless LAN. In
infrastructure mode, the wireless devices communicate with each other and to a
wired network by first going through an access point. An infrastructure wireless
network connected to a wired network is referred to as a Basic Service Set (BSS). A
set of two or more BSS in a single network is referred to as an Extended Service Set
(ESS). Infrastructure mode is useful at a corporation scale, or when it is necessary to
connect the wired and wireless networks.Spread Spectrum

- Spread Spectrum
technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the military for use
in reliable, secure, mission-critical communications systems. It is designed to trade
off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In other words, more
bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade
off produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that
the receiver knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If
a receiver is not tuned to the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks like
background noise. There are two main alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS).
Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum)
alphanumeric key identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices
in a network to communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the
same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It
corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network
name. See also Wireless Network Name and ESSID.
(Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or
128-bit or 152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
- A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the
Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an
industry standards group promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices.
(Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices
communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a
local area.
(Wi-Fi Protected Access) - A wireless security protocol use TKIP (Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol) encryption, which can be used in conjunction with a RADIUS
server.
