Wireless network including omnibus access point

摘要

There is disclosed a wireless communications network, a method for managing a wireless communications network, and an omnibus access point. The omnibus access point may receive, from a user device, a request to join an identified service set, the user device located within a coverage area of the omnibus access point and outside of a coverage area of an access point associated with the identified service set. The omnibus access point may attempt to identify the access point associated with the identified service set. When the omnibus access point succeeds in identifying the access point associated with the identified service set, the omnibus access point may establish a secure communications path between the omnibus access point and the identified access point to allow secure communications between the user device and the identified service set.
