Wireless Access Point (WAP)

WAPs feature radio transmitters and antennae, which facilitate connectivity between devices and the Internet or a network. A WAP is also known as a hotspot.
Wireless access points (WAP) may be used to provide network connectivity in office environments, allowing employees to work anywhere in the office and remain connected to a network. In addition, WAPs provide wireless Internet in public places, like coffee shops, airports and train stations.
Wireless access points are most commonly thought of in the context of the 802 series of wireless standards, commonly known as Wi-Fi.
