15800 - Extreme Networks Altitude 450-451

Altitude 450 is the next generation of Access Points (APs) that delivers very high speed wireless services using the emerging 802.11n wireless LAN technology. Altitude 450 is dual-radio AP that supports simultaneous operation of 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n wireless networks. Altitude 450 comes with six (three for each band) integrated internal omni-directional antennas. The radio and antenna in Altitude 450 is designed to provide spatial diversity with 3 x 3 Multiple In Multiple Out (MIMO) capability that delivers wireless bandwidths as high as 150 Mbps with 20 MHz channel. With the channel bonding option the AP can deliver wireless bandwidth of 300 Mbps using a 40 MHz channel. It supports antenna diversity for better performance, particularly in challenging multi-path environments. Altitude 450 AP is designed to be fully compatible with standard 802.3af Power over Etherent (PoE) power requirements even with concurrent dual radio operation and 3 x 3 MIMO configuration. This capability enables customers to easily deploy the AP in the existing PoE switch infrastructure, without having to allocate two PoE ports per AP and double the cable runs to each AP. Altitude AP is managed centrally by Summit WM controllers while enabling user traffic to be bridged locally at the AP or tunneled to the controller. The flexibility to locally bridge the user traffic at the AP enables deployment of high speed 802.11n service without being forced to upgrade the controller.
