Hello,
I am a noob coming from Shadowrun 5th Edition playing a 3rd Edition game.  I am unable to connect directly to the LAN that's not connected to the main Matrix lines, so that's completely out of the question.  What are the rules for wireless Matrix access?  Thus far I have an understanding of how SATCOM works, but I'm trying to see if I can find any way to get things to work through WAVECOM or BEAMCOM.  I'm attempting to see if I can have someone attach a device to a LAN that's closed to outside Matrix access so that I can wirelessly connect from an RTG to a transceiver connected to the RTG line then wirelessly to another transceiver connected to a closed LAN and into the closed LAN.  How can I essentially "hop the wire" so to speak?  Thanks.

IIRC 3rd edition is set prior to Crash 2.0 and there is no wireless matrix.

3E doesn't have wireless matrix ... so unless your GM is house ruling or importing from a newer addition you can't.

But what about BEAMCOM?  What would that be used for if not Matrix ability?

Beamcom is a direct tight beam connection method that is easily blocked and or intercepted and is not "wireless" aka cellular amd only allow communication between two specific transceivers and not from a RTG to a LAN ... same thing applies to Wavecom.

Best advice I can give you since that system is over 15 years out of date is get your hands on the 3E Matrix book and confer with your GM ... but the closest you will probably get is having an insertion team tap into the LAN and setup a link but you would have to physically be at the other end of the link

Got it.  Thanks.

Little late to the party, but the Matrix 3e book does have wireless rules for special wireless connection options.
However, you'll still need the book to fully understand all the equipment and software you need to do a wireless connection, and how the wireless connection affects all your matrix attributes and target numbers.
