Extricom Wireless LAN - Product Overview
The award-winning Extricom Interference-Free™ Wireless LAN System incorporates multiple breakthrough innovations, fused into a product that delivers a generational leap in WLAN performance, flexibility, and ease of ownership.
Groundbreaking architectural thinking has yielded a solution that is IEEE 802.11-compliant, yet changes all of the paradigms about the Wi-Fi experience.
- Provides stable and guaranteed performance, enabling the industry's first Service Level Agreement (SLA) for WLAN users.
- Easy to deploy and maintain, without the complexities of RF cell planning.
- Delivers both seamless mobility and high capacity, with ubiquitous coverage that is free of co-channel interference.
- Truly built for the enterprise triple play, without performance trade-offs.
- Wireless that behaves like wire.
IIn short, this is the ideal solution for building large-scale WLAN infrastructure for converged voice (VoWLAN), data, and video, with the dependability and simplicity of a wired network. All with the industry's lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
A new generation of applications, such as voice over Wi-Fi, locationing, ubiquitous data connectivity, and multimedia communications, requires a new generation of WLAN infrastructure.
At the heart of the Extricom solution is a simple yet powerful idea: eliminate the concept of cell-planning, and replace it with the channel blanket™ architecture, in which each Wi-Fi radio channel is used on every access point to create continuous "blankets"of coverage.
The highly sophisticated Extricom WLAN Switch tightly controls a set of multi-radio 802.11 a/b/g UltraThin™ Access Points (APs), to deliver a series of industry firsts:
- A multi-layer WLAN, consisting of multiple overlapping channel blankets on any combination of channels in any band
- No AP-to-AP handoff, which guarantees seamless mobility, continuity of security session (even WPA), and best service delivery
- The elimination of co-channel interference, which is ultimately key to providing complete coverage, maximum bandwidth, and a Service Level Guarantee for both connection rate and bandwidth
- TrueReuse™ channel processing, for optimal re-use of each Wi-Fi channel that yields bandwidth multiplication well beyond what traditional cell-based schemes can achieve
Simpler. Better. Guaranteed. This is the Extricom Experience.
