Wireless LAN Products

High-speed, scalable, secure WLAN equipment for enterprises of all sizes

The Extreme Networks® portfolio of wireless LAN (WLAN) products include Summit® WM3000 Controllers, Altitude™ Access Points (APs) and the Motorola® AirDefense® Services Platform. The fully 802.11-compliant hardware and software has been designed to directly address today’s user expectations—wireless connectivity that works transparently, flawlessly and across divergent networks. A wide selection of offerings give IT administrators the flexibility to meet the needs for a wide range of enterprise networks—small to medium sized businesses, large corporate campuses, and distributed enterprises with many branch offices.

Overcoming BYOD ChallengesOur WLAN products are built to seamlessly integrate with wired infrastructures, helping ensure faster deployment, better service delivery and stronger security across the entire network. Better integration also streamlines installation, maintenance and upgrades throughout the entire WLAN lifecycle, for improved TCO and ROI. Enterprise-class security, availability, scalability, and manageability features, along with wire-speed throughputs, ensure reliable delivery of business-critical applications such as voice, video and high-speed data. Advanced management features such as site planning and visualization, proactive diagnostics, remote troubleshooting and automated installation greatly simplify IT tasks such as mobilizing users, deploying new services and optimizing system performance, without sacrificing network security or user functionality.
