Advantages of Using a Wireless Bridge

Routers typically store all user information and pass it along to anyone who requests it. This makes them vulnerable to hacking attacks. With point-to-point systems, there’s no centralized database to hack.

Using a wireless bridge, be it point to point or point to multipoint, allows you to connect devices to a shared network over a great distance. As such, it can be used to ensure fast and efficient data transfer in a remote location and to make sure that all networked devices follow the same rules of data sharing and access.

You may wonder whether point-to-point is better than wired bridging. After all, isn’t a point-to-pointer basically a switch? Yes, but it also offers some advantages over standard switches. For example, point-to-point allows you to create multiple connections simultaneously. This is impossible with a regular switch.
Additionally, since point-to-point uses a dedicated link between the two computers, it provides a higher level of security than a regular switch.

There are, largely speaking, two kinds of wireless bridges most commonly used. These are the point to point wireless bridges that allow two networks in two separate locations to connect to one another and a point to multipoint bridge that allows several subscriber units to connect to one base station unit. They both allow locations to form a network over distance but differ on how many locations they can connect to and what needs they can meet.
