Extricom Continues To Lead The Way To Higher Bandwidth WLAN
October 7, 2010 – New York, NY – Extricom Ltd., a designer and manufacturer of high-performance, next generation wireless LAN (WLAN) infrastructure solutions, announced today that it will launch the world’s first enterprise-grade 802.11n access point with 3 spatial streams, the EXRP-33n, at IPExpo, in London England, October 20-21.
Extricom’s Channel Blanket™ is the perfect architecture to harness the power of 3×3 MIMO technology, and is particularly suited for deployments in bandwidth-intensive applications such as the education, medical, and general office verticals. The Channel BlanketTM eliminates the complex RF cell-planning normally required for 802.11n, and also eliminates the co-channel interference that can severely degrade 802.11n throughput. Consequently, Extricom customers already today realize the true potential of 802.11n technology and will continue to do so in 3-stream deployments.
In addition to enhancing the Channel Blanket’s inherently high throughput, the EXRP-33n maintains the other unique advantages of the Channel Blanket architecture, such as zero-handoff mobility, aggregated TrueReuse™, and built-in QoS that is superior to WMM, for streaming HD video and voice over wireless applications.
Ramy Buechler, Director of Product Management, stated, “Extricom’s Channel Blanket technology has been widely adopted by businesses and institutions looking for a wireless LAN that delivers high-throughput. The EXRP-30n, Extricom’s proven 2-stream 802.11n AP, has already established effective throughput benchmarks of 190 Mbps (TCP) and 250 Mbps (UDP) per link and is very popular in throughput-intensive environments. The EXRP-33n will extend the product-line even further with its 450 Mbps air rate and 3×3 MIMO technology”.
The EXRP-33n will be made available to selected customers in Q4, and will be commercially available in Q1, 2011.
