EXSW Wireless LAN Switches

The Extricom WLAN Switch family is the key building block for a new generation of business-class wireless that scales to any size, from a single office to a multi-building corporate campus.

Every member of the Extricom switch family is built around the unique Channel Blanket architecture, including support for multiple blankets from the same AP, TrueReuse, 802.11i security, built-in Power Over Ethernet (PoE) injectors on all ports, and centralized configuration, management and monitoring.

GbE Products

The EXSW-1600 and EXSW800G switches provide Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity for up to 16 or 8 Extricom UltraThin APs respectively. These switches offer the full performance of multiple 802.11n and legacy blankets. 

The EXSW-1632C/EXSW-1600C Wireless LAN Switch Cascade, Extricom's newest switch product, scales Channel Blanket architecture by extending the continuous mobility zone to twice its previous size - an area covered by 32 APs. The Switch Cascade also provides a fully redundant wireless LAN infrastructure to eliminate a single point of failure and support high-availability scenarios

Compliance Standards

Requirement 2 Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters

(See 2.1.1)  For wireless environments connected to the cardholder data environment or transmitting cardholder data, change wireless vendor defaults, including but not limited to default wireless encryption keys, passwords, and SNMP community strings. Ensure wireless device security settings are enabled for strong encryption technology for authentication and transmission.

Requirement 4 Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks 

4.1.1 Ensure wireless networks transmitting cardholder data or connected to the cardholder data environment, use industry best practices (e.g., IEEE 802.11i) to implement strong encryption for authentication and transmission.

Requirement 9 Restrict physical access to cardholder data

9.1.3 Restrict physical access to wireless access points, gateways, and handheld devices.

Requirement 11 Regularly test security systems and processes

11.1 Test for the presence of wireless access points by using a wireless analyzer at least quarterly or deploying a wireless IDS/IPS to identify all wireless devices in use
