Extricom WLAN System

Built For 802.11n & 802.11a/b/g

Extricom's fourth-generation solution is the only system to enable disruption-free introduction of full-performance 802.11n in the enterprise, for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands, at the lowest cost-per-port.

The Extricom WLAN System, based on the unique Channel Blanket™ architecture, avoids the technical and deployment obstacles presented by other vendor solutions.

In order to achieve the promise of greater bandwidth, other architectures impose three disruptive and expensive conditions on any 802.11n implementation:
  • Limit 802.11n devices to the 5GHz band 
  • Leave the 2.4GHz band only for legacy devices
  • Install costly non-standard power-over-Ethernet (PoE) schemes to meet the increased energy demands of 802.11n wireless access points (APs)

By contrast, the Extricom WLAN combines multi-radio APs to create parallel, simultaneous wireless networks from the same set of APs, enabling enterprises to:

  • Gradually introduce 'n' devices into the existing environment, and do so at whatever pace is convenient for the business, without experiencing any conflicts with legacy devices. No "forklift" cutover of users is required.
  • Choose to deploy 'n' with 40MHz channel bonding in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, for 2x higher throughput vs. 20MHz channel bonding.
  • Achieve the promised 300Mbps data rates even when legacy 'g' or 'a' devices are present by segregation of 802.11n and 802.11a/b/g on both 2.4 and 5GHz bands, resulting in up to 7x higher throughput than mixed 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN’s.
  • Enhance the existing Wi-Fi network with the benefits of 802.11n, without having to rework the number, location, and cabling for APs. In other words, deploy without redesign of the wireless layout.
  • Continue using conventional 802.3af power-over-Ethernet. The unique UltraThin™ design doesn't require a power-hungry processor, which means that standard PoE will drive even a four-radio Extricom Access Point at full-rate and full-coverage. 
  • Eliminate the complexities of cell-planning. This not only makes deployment and maintenance dramatically simpler than any other wireless LAN solution, but also delivers the promised range benefits of MIMO, without the side-effects of unpredictable MIMO coverage.
