Extricom 8-Port WLAN Switch Standalone Platform, supporting up to 4 blankets, 8x AP ports, 2x 100/1000 BaseT Ethernet WAN ports,

MultiSeries 500 Wireless LAN Switch

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 MultiSeries 500 provides two uplink Gigabit Ethernet ports to connect to the wired LAN, and supports eight Gigabit Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) to attach up to 8 Extricom UltraThin access points. The MultiSeries 500 is available with a 4-port or 8-port license.

The MultiSeries 500 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[tm] architecture, that revolutionizes the Wi-Fi experience for both IT administrators and wireless users.

The MultiSeries 500 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.
