For the most part, I have taken the liberty of relegating my definition of an access point to a wireless version of a hub but with better algorithms and such to increase efficiency. Please take not of that and correct me if I make wrong or just plain ignorant assertions
I was interested to see if the future of wireless has us depending solely on the division of radio signals by time or priority and such. Right now, as far as I am concerned, wireless to wireless transmission the same AP yields pretty bad results using normal 802.11g equipment* , but I could be wrong.
(*=not any of that atheros 108MBps multichannel stuff which I am not too technically familiar with when it comes to wireless to wireless speeds on the same AP. )
I realize that I am being really unclear, but don't know how to put this so I'll pose it this way.
Will we ever see the jump in wireless like we saw in wired, where hubs ushered in switches?
I realize that Cell towers now use a combination of prioritization, TDM, and other technologies, and wanted the experts to weigh in on the future of wireless infrastructure.
