A wireless network device (1) comprises first and second wireless bridges (2, 3) and a wireless LAN access point (12), each with a respective input/output connection (17, 18, 19) for an antenna (6, 7, 14) to receive and transmit signals over a wireless link (8, 9), a switch (16) that interconnects the bridges (2, 3) and access point (12) to route data either between the two bridges (8, 9) or between the access point (12) and the two bridges (8, 9), and a housing (20) which houses the two bridges (8, 9), the access point (12), and the switch (16). Preferably, the channel frequency of the bridges (8, 9) is different to that of the access point (12), thereby reducing interference between the bridging and access point functions when they are both present. Preférably the device has one or more of the following features: battery Powered; solar lrowered; waterproof housing; and is adapted to be mounted at the top of a pole or to be wall mounted. |
