10 Introduction to the Extricom Wireless LAN System
Overview of the Extricom Access Point
• The Extricom access points are for indoor usage only.
• The maximum antenna gain is 4dBi
• Single Extricom Access Point includes multiple WLAN Radio modules; each
Radio module is independent, it is configured separately and serves different set
of clients. There is no relation between transmissions on different Radio
modules, hence :
o Same information can not be transmitted over separated Radio modules
o Radio modules can not transmit simultaneously over the same radio
channel
o Client can transmit and receive data through one Radio module.
Internal antenna access points
Extricom’s EXRP-20 and EXRP-40 UltraThin APs are high-bandwidth devices, containing standard
802.11 radios. The EXRP-20 contains two radios while the EXRP-40 contains four radios.
Since the APs have no software, they require no configuration. This makes them fully
interchangeable, enabling truly 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.
APs are connected to the Extricom WLAN Switch via standard Cat5e/6 cables. Since the APs are
powered by the standard 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), only a single Cat5e/6 cable connection
is required to support two simultaneous radios.
