Enterprise WLAN is on the cusp of a new era - the multi-application era. This means one WLAN infrastructure investment powering many uses - voice, data, video, and locationing. To meet the demands this new era will create, Extricom and a select group of industry-leading solutions partners have formed the Uni-Fi Alliance™. The Alliance:

  • Brings together the leading technology innovators, to enable technical and commercial partnership
  • Verifies interoperability between vendor products that contribute to a converged, multi-application WLAN
  • Lowers customer risk and maximizes business value, thanks to validated product combinations

Uni-Fi Alliance members span the eco-system of devices, PBXs, location services, security appliances, and mobile-to-mobile convergence that form the next-generation converged WLAN. This set of feature-rich Wi-Fi applications is underpinned by the Extricom WLAN System, which fundamentally transforms Wi-Fi from an ad-hoc, "best efforts" technology to a robust, guaranteed-performance access solution.
The members of the Uni-Fi Alliance are:
