Abstract
In general, one embodiment of the invention is a radio access point (RAP) system adapted to a wired network. The RAP system comprises a radio access point and a switch coupled together by an interconnect. The radio access point includes components to digitally sample a detected, wireless analog signal thereby producing digital data. The digital data is placed into a frame for transmission over the interconnect. The switch includes a radio access point (RAP) component that recovers the digital data from the frame transmitted over the interconnect. The RAP component processes the digital data to recover media access control (MAC) frames containing data for subsequent transmission over the wired network.
