A bridge is used to connect networks often in different buildings up to several miles apart. Because the bridge does not rely on acknowledgements like a normal access point it can do this. An access point cannot do this because it must comply with the 802.11 standard strictly and it will expect acknowledgements to be received more quickly than could be expected over those distances.
