The EXSW-1200 Wireless LAN Switch is a central component of Extricom’s award-winning WLAN system, and the key building block for a new generation of business-class wireless infrastructure that scales from a single office to multi-building corporate campuses. The EXSW-1200 provides two uplink Fast Ethernet ports to connect to the wired LAN, and twelve Fast Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) to attach any of Extricom’s UltraThin Access Points.
The EXSW-1200 delivers voice, data, video, and location services with a robust and mobile connection to any Wi-Fi client, in any environment. The Extricom system 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.
The EXSW-1200 is an IEEE 802.11-compliant solution which, combined with Extricom’s unique Channel Blanket™ architecture, revolutionizes the Wi-Fi experience for both IT administrators and wireless users. Extricom WLAN systems simplify network design and maintenance; while increasing performance, capacity, stability of the system and Quality of Service for multimedia applications.
The Extricom Difference
Simpler Design and Maintenance
The Extricom WLAN System reduces the complexity of RF surveys and cell planning. Extricom’s UltraThin APs are placed where needed for best coverage and do not require configuration. All APs transmit and receive on the same channel in the Channel Blanket architecture, and the Extricom WLAN Switch coordinates the connected APs to eliminate co-channel interference.
Superior Wireless Connectivity
With every AP on the same channel, 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 in the Extricom Channel Blanket without experiencing inter-AP handoffs, re-authentication, or latency, enabling seamless 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 EXSW-1200 supports up to twelve Extricom 4-radio UltraThin APs with a single standard 802.3af POE connection.
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 use another, and legacy 802.11b clients can be separated from newer 802.11n clients. This flexible approach translates into 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 transmission on the same channel within the Channel Blanket.
