Wireless Access Point (WAP)

A wireless access point (WAP) is primarily used to provide network access to wireless devices using one of the IEEE 802.11 standards. The WAP in the image has three antennas, which provides for increased data throughput and link range without additional bandwidth or increased transmit power using a process known as multuiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO), an important part of the IEEE 802.11n standard.
