Managed Wireless Solution

No real experience of Extricom, but it is my understanding that the Extricom solution requires you to directly wire a connection from each AP directly back to the controller and not via other PoE switches etc. This may or may not be a problem, depending on your building layout and network infrastructure.

If you have normal switches, a power point and ethernet plug near each other in the rooms they are to be used it, then it isnt an issue at all with the extricom stuff...

Not what I was told by an Extricom rep. The system didn't allow communication over fiber etc - all connections had to go back direct to the controller. So, if you have multiple buildings then you needed multiple controllers. You do use ethernet cable, yes, but not via normal switching.

 

At least, that was what I was told by one of their reps/engineers about a year ago, as I brought up this very issue.
