Extreme Networks Announces Wireless LAN Solution With Superior Performance for Converged Data and Voice
New Summit WM Series Switches Deliver Enhanced Simplicity and Security to Help Customers Deploy and Maintain Voice-Grade Wireless Infrastructures
Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR - News), the leader in open converged networks, today announced the high performance Summit® Wireless Mobility (WM) solution, an innovative Wireless LAN platform that simplifies the deployment and operation of enterprise-class wireless LANs. The Summit WM-series switches and Altitude 350 Access Points (APs) help organizations build and manage advanced wireless infrastructures that are capable of supporting multiple types of connections
-- from guests to legacy devices to today's latest converged applications.
Enterprises increasingly must implement and operate a diverse set of complex networking technologies without the luxury of additional staff or specialized skills. Extreme Networks' Summit WM series switches assist overextended IT departments with capabilities that automate deployment and dynamically respond to changes or equipment failures:
-- WM Access Domains for simple, centralized management of large,
multiple-access wireless LANs.
-- AccessAdapt(TM) software for plug-and-play AP installation anywhere
on the network.
-- AutoCell(TM) dynamic radio management that dramatically reduces time
spent on infrastructure optimization.
The Summit WM solution, a part of Extreme Networks Unified Access portfolio, easily integrates with existing wired networks and does not require extensive network reconfiguration, topology changes, or client software to deliver advanced features. With capacities of up to 200 access points per switch, the Summit WM1000 switch easily scales to support large WLAN installations. Remote offices can be supported without a local controller
-- simply configure an Altitude 350 AP to locally bridge traffic and enjoy centralized management and continuous service even when the connection to the central switch has been lost.
"Customers are building large wireless networks for demanding converged applications and they need straightforward solutions that can deliver voice-grade performance with robust security," said Suresh Gopalakrishnan, vice president of worldwide marketing for Extreme Networks. "With the addition of Summit WM series switches, as a part of our wireless product portfolio, we are delivering a powerful WLAN solution that has the versatility, performance, and security features needed to support multiple connection types including voice connections."
As Voice over IP (VoIP) connections multiply in enterprises, WLANs increasingly must meet the stringent requirements of handling converged mobile traffic. The Summit WM platform is ready to deliver high-quality voice connections by offering critical performance capabilities that are essential for robust voice support:
-- High-speed, cross-subnet roaming that minimizes dropped or disrupted
calls.
-- End-to-end quality of service support that expedites time-sensitive
traffic on both the wireless and wired network.
-- High availability features that meet user expectations for voice
connections.
As the use of wireless connectivity within an Enterprise increases, rogue access points and unauthorized wireless networks present a serious vulnerability. With Extreme's Summit WM-series switches and Altitude(TM) 350 dual-radio APs, administrators can concurrently support user access while scanning the airwaves for security policy violations. Enterprises can choose their level of security scanning and access as desired at any location. The Summit WM solution provides a consolidated snapshot of all out-of-policy wireless operations throughout the Altitude 350 coverage area.
Pricing and Availability
The suggested list price begins at US $16,995 for the Summit WM100 and US $32,995 for the Summit WM1000. Summit WM100 and Summit WM1000 switches will be available in July.
