A new generation of enterprise WLAN infrastructure

EXSW Wireless LAN Switches

The Extricom WLAN Switch family is the key building block for a new generation of business-class wireless that scales to any size, from a single office to a multi-site organisation.

Every member of the Extricom switch family is built around the unique Channel Blanket architecture, including support for multiple blankets from the same AP, TrueReuse, 802.11i security, built-in Power Over Ethernet (PoE) injectors on all ports, and centralised configuration, management and monitoring.

EXRP Access Points

Extricom's UltraThin Access Points are high-bandwidth network devices, containing multiple standard 802.11 radios. Extricom APs are "UltraThin" because they have no software, and require no configuration. This makes them fully interchangeable, enabling truly plug-and-play installation. APs are connected to the Extricom WLAN Switch via standard Cat5e/6 cables.

With all intelligence residing in the Switch, APs may be placed as close together as necessary to provide high-quality, high-speed connectivity from all locations within the enterprise. In this respect, the Extricom deployment philosophy is similar to that of wired networks: simply place APs wherever service is required, based solely on the grade services desired (i.e. connection rate), without any of the interference or coverage/capacity constraints seen in traditional WLANs.

EXNM Network Management System

The EXNM-2000 Network Management System (NMS) is a comprehensive tool that enables System Administrators to manage any size of Extricom WLAN from a single interface. Employing the FCAPS network management model and a Client/Server architecture, the EXNM-2000 seamlessly connects with Extricom's complete line of enterprise switches and access points, providing easy, standards-based systems administration, configuration, and monitoring.

The EXNM-2000 supports medium-to-large-scale enterprises that have deployed up to 48,000 Extricom Access Points and 2,000 WLAN switches. It runs on standard enterprise server platforms and uses a MySQL 5.0 database to maximise affordability and flexibility.

Wireless LAN Accessories

Extricom offers a range of accessories to help you maximise the benefits of your WLAN and simplify deployments.

EXRE Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Range Extenders
The Extricom EXRE-10 PoE Range Extender (Fast Ethernet) and EXRE-1000 PoE Range Extender (Gigabit Ethernet) are complementary components to the Extricom WLAN system. The EXRE series range extenders double the standard 100-meter range of PoE, allowing Extricom Access Points to be placed up to 200 meters from the Extricom WLAN switch.

The EXRE-10/EXRE-1000 are connected in-line using standard Cat5e/6 cable, do not require an external power feed, and are bi-directional, with both ports able to serve as input or output. The design of the PoE Range Extenders reflect the emphasis on deployment simplicity and operational flexibility that is the hallmark of an Extricom solution.
