"Belden is in the business of answering our customers' signal transmission needs", said Peter Sheehan, president of Belden Americas.
"Our entry into wireless technology presents another avenue for the fulfillment of our customers' needs, with unified wired-wireless solutions they can depend on".
"Extricom provides a highly differentiated technology that will be the basis for Belden's future wireless products".
Extricom's patented and award-winning Interference-Free WLAN system represents the next generation of enterprise Wi-Fi, with a fundamental shift in architecture from "cell-planning" to a "channel blanket" topology.
The technology eliminates the cochannel interference that plagues traditional WLAN systems, to deliver seamless and zero-latency mobility, robust, "wire-like" client connections, and the ability to design for a guaranteed and predictable level of service for all users.
All this comes without the iterative and costly RF cell-planning of traditional solutions.
The result is a high-performance yet simple solution for powering the enterprise triple play of data, voice (VoWLAN), and video.
"Belden's name is synonymous with technology innovation, and we are honoured to have been selected to contribute a major piece to their wireless initiative", said Gideon Rottem, CEO and cofounder of Extricom.
"Due to Belden's unprecedented market reach and their well-earned reputation for quality and reliability, our technologies will benefit customers worldwide".
