Features and Benefits
The Extricom WLAN System provides a host of never-before-seen innovations and market firsts. Here is a summary of the features and benefits of the solution. A complete description can be found in the Extricom WLAN System Brochure.
Guaranteed Performance
Guaranteed Service Level | Unlike all other WLANs, coverage and capacity are independent in the Extricom system. This enables the industry’s only guarantee of connection rate and bandwidth. |
| Wi-Fi Collaboration™ - Uplink Diversity | With all APs able to receive on the same channel, the Extricom WLAN provides uplink path diversity for client transmissions, making the system highly resistant to RF instabilities and outside interference. |
Surprising Simplicity
No Cell Planning | With no RF cell planning or RF constraints, Extricom’s APs are deployed wherever needed. |
| Zero Configuration AP | Each AP requires no configuration and is completely interchangeable with any other AP, for true plug-and-play installation. |
| Central Power Supply | The Extricom Wireless Switch comes with Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for AC power at the AP. |
Total Mobility
Zero-Handoff VoWLAN Mobility | Clients move within the channel blanket™ without experiencing inter-AP handoffs, making zero-latency mobility and “always-connected” voice a reality for WLAN. |
| Security while Mobile | Since the Extricom system has no AP-to-AP handoffs within the blanket, all device types, including WPA, will experience an uninterrupted security session while mobile. |
Triple Play without Trade-Offs
Multi-Layer WLAN | The same set of APs can power multiple high-connection-rate channel blankets with overlapping coverage, resulting in multiplied aggregate capacity. The channel blankets can operate on any combination of channels and modes. |
Quality of Service for Converged Applications | Separate channel blankets offer the unique ability to guarantee Quality of Service by physically segregating different user types, traffic and roles onto different channels. |
TrueReuse Bandwidth - Optimized Frequency Reuse | TrueReuse multiplies the aggregate bandwidth of each channel blanket, to provide total system bandwidth that is unparalleled by other WLAN solutions. |
Best-of-Breed Security | The Extricom Wireless Switch provides 802.11i security with hardware-based processing, to ensure that even the strongest security does not impact wireless performance. Rogue AP detection is also built-in, to provide the benefits of a dedicated security sensor overlay, without the corresponding costs. |
