If you read thru that page, and their homepage, you will se that these are not regular access points. They are Mero access points, which all connect to a central controller.

What it says is that all of there AP's are connected together to make one 'virtual' AP. I would assumes the individual AP's have additional processor's beyond the standard ones required by an AP, that continuously monitor data and traffic flow. This info is then passed back to the central controller which makes decision's on what to route where and at what priority. The controller then passes new configuration info to the AP's on the fly.

The one question I have is how do the individual AP talk back to the controller.
