Access Point Access Point (AP) refers to Symbol’s Spectrum24 Ethernet Access
Point. It is a piece of communications equipment that manages
communications between the host computer system and one or
more wireless mobile computers. An AP connects to a wired
Ethernet LAN and acts as a bridge between the Ethernet wired
network and IEEE 802.11 interoperable radio-equipped mobile
units, such as a mobile computer. The AP allows a mobile user to
roam freely through a facility while maintaining a seamless
connection to the wired network.
