Providing seamless connectivity between multiple communication bands having different communication protocols in a hybrid wired/wireless network

摘要

An authentication device is initially authenticated when initiating communication with a access point. The authentication information related to the initial authentication, is provided to other access points. The access device is serviced by one of the access points, based on the initial authentication information. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) Machine readable medium storing program for providing seamless connectivity and communication in multi-band, multi-protocol hybrid network; and (2) system for providing seamless connectivity and communication in multi-band, multi-protocol hybrid network.
