Extricom RP-32n Three-Radio Ultra-Thin 802.11n Access Point with integrated internal Antennas

Extricom’s exclusive RP-32n offers a Three-Radio Ultra-Thin[tm] Access Point designed to tackle the high demands of today’s wireless network for the enterprise market. The RP-32n is a radio access device and part of Extricom’s innovative Channel Blanket[tm] architecture with its inherently high throughput, zero-handoff mobility, SameBand[tm] and TrueReuse[tm] capabilities. Attached to the Extricom switch, the Extricom Access Points create three 802.11n wireless blankets without running any software and without the need for configuration. Interference between the access points is completely eliminated by the integrated switch intelligence.

Mobile devices traversing the blanket are attached to one homogeneous network and are associated with the switch and not to a particular AP, ensuring they never disconnect.

The Extricom RP-32n is equipped with the latest best-of-breed silicon and radio modules. The most advanced radio layer features provided are Transmit Beam Forming (TxBF), Space-Time Block Code (STBC), Low Density Parity Check (LDPC), Maximum Likelihood (ML) detection, Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) and Cyclic Delay Code (CDC).

Guaranteed Service Level Agreement

RP-32n enables physical separation between different services (e.g. video, voice and data) by assigning different frequency channels to services. Physical separation between very slow devices e.g. 802.11b wireless clients and very fast devices such as two streams 802.11n wireless clients overcomes ‘the weakest link’ effect, detrimental to aggregate network throughput. RP-32n AP deployment density delivers blanket seamless coverage and a guaranteed communications rate everywhere.

Ease of Installation & Zero Configuration

Extricom Ultra-Thin AP deployment does not require cell planning and facilitates true plug-and-play deployment. RP-32n is software free hence requires absolutely no configuration.

Integrated antennas & Standard PoE

The RP-32n is equipped with integrated antennas. RP-32n is 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) compliant. Since the RP-32n is highly energy efficient, all three radios can operate concurrently out of the given energy budget of 802.3af.

Immune to MIMO Coverage Variability

RP-32n employs Extricom’s unique patent pending technology for improved transmission on MIMO deployments for reliably high throughput and black hole free MIMO blanket coverage. All APs receive traffic on the same channel. As a direct result, the Extricom blanket WLAN provides uplink path diversity for lower delay latency and higher uplink throughput.

Advanced 802.11n enhancements

The RP-32n is equipped with latest physical layer (radio) technologies which directly improve rate-over-range performance (LDPC, TxBF and MLD).
