Overview of the Extricom Access Points
Access Points with Internal Integrated Antennas
Extricom’s EXRP-20, EXRP-40 and EXRP-30n UltraThin APs are high-bandwidth devices. The
EXRP-20 contains two 802.11a/b/g radios, the EXRP-40 contains four 802.11a/b/g radios, and the
EXRP-30n contains two 802.11a/b/g/n and one 802.11a/b/g radio.
The EXRP-20 and EXRP-40 APs have internal diversity antennas – one diversity antenna for each
radio. The EXRP-30n possesses three (3) antennas per 802.11a/b/g/n radio (for supporting 3x3
MIMO).
The APs do not require configuration, enabling plug-and-play installation. If stolen, the APs do not
pose a security risk, since all encryption is performed in the switch.
With all intelligence residing in the WLAN switch, APs may be placed as close together as
necessary to provide high-quality, high-speed connectivity from all locations within the enterprise.
Extricom APs are connected to the Extricom WLAN Switch via standard Cat5e/6 cables. The APs
are powered by the standard 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), and only a single Cat5e/6 cable
connection is required to support all radios in an Extricom AP.
An EXRE-10 or 1000 range extender can be used between the AP and the switch, for extended
reach.
