Extricom MultiSeries 1000 16-Port GbE Wireless LAN Switch Platform
The 802.11n compliant Extricom MultiSeries 1000 delivers a smooth migration to 802.11n for enterprises. The Extricom Channel Blanket architecture is a perfect match for the unpredictable coverage patterns of 802.11n APs. In an Extricom system, overlapping coverage from adjacent UltraThin APs is not a problem.
Features
- Simpler Installation and Maintenance - The Extricom WLAN eliminates complex cell-planning, making installation much easier. Its easy to use management interface also simplifies system setup and maintenance.
- Superior Wireless Connectivity - The Extricom switch receives multiple copies of each client transmission and chooses the best AP to transmit the reply, making the system highly resilient to RF interference and ensuring the highest possible throughput.
- Continuous Mobility. Client devices move anywhere within the Extricom Channel Blanket without experiencing inter-AP handoffs, re-authentication or latency, enabling no-handoff mobility for enterprise wireless LANs.
- Centralized Access - Extricom switches coordinate media access for all of the connected APs and eliminate co-channel interference, which leads to higher performance and more stable operation under heavy load.
- Centralized Power - The Extricom WLAN switch supplies power for all the connected Extricom UltraThin APs through built-in PoE, eliminating the need for AC power at the APs. The MultiSeries 500 supports up to eight Extricom UltraThin APs.
- Service Flexibility - Extricom's multi-layer, multi-channel architecture with overlapping Channel Blankets provides physical segregation of wireless clients and applications. Voice clients can be isolated on one channel, data clients on another, and legacy 802.11a/b/g clients can be separated from newer 802.11n clients. This flexible approach translates into much higher throughput, more stable and predictable wireless LAN performance and the ability to offer service level guarantees.
- TrueReuse - An Extricom patented technology, increases capacity by permitting simultaneous transmissions on the same channel within the Channel Blanket.
The Extricom MultiSeries 1000 Wireless LAN switch is a central component of Extricom’s award-winning WLAN system, and the key building block of a new generation of business-class wireless infrastructure that scales from a single office to multi-building corporate campuses. The Extricom MultiSeries 1000 provides two uplink Gigabit Ethernet ports to connect to the wired LAN, and supports 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) to attach up to 16 Extricom UltraThin access points. The Extricom MultiSeries 1000 is available with an 8-port, 12-port, or 16-port license.
The Extricom MultiSeries 1000 delivers voice, data, video, and location services with a robust and mobile connection to any Wi-Fi client, in any environment. The Extricom system architecture reduces WLAN complexity, delivers high performance with predictable service, works seamlessly with existing wired network infrastructure, and future proofs your network for tomorrow's multi-service demands. It is an IEEE 802.11n-compliant solution, combined with Extricom’s unique Channel Blanket architecture, that revolutionizes the Wi-Fi experience for both IT administrators and wireless users.
The Extricom MultiSeries 1000 takes full advantage of 802.11n, with every port supporting Gigabit Ethernet. The Extricom WLAN system enables a gradual introduction of 802.11n into the enterprise. Using Channel Blankets to separate 802.11n clients from legacy 802.11a/b/g clients provides full performance for all. Only Extricom allows co-existence of both 802.11n and 802.11b/g devices in the 2.4 GHz band without throughput degradation for either type of client.
