Özet:

Almost all commercially available wireless access devices are specialembedded systems with proprietary software that do not allow any modifications.Modifications to these systems are only possible by firmware upgrades released bymanufacturers. However, release times of these firmware upgrades are unpredictable,and they are usually for bug-fix purposes rather than being feature and capabilityimprovements. Thus, these devices fail to provide the needed flexibility. Ability toprovide timely custom solution that is well integrated into existing networkinfrastructure is the key factor for a successful wireless access service implementation.In this thesis work, the open source software called AWLP is designed, coded, tested,iv
