Summit

WM3600 wireless LAN controller is a high-
performance member of the Extreme Networks wireless controller family. The Summit
WM3600 wireless LAN controller provides centralized Wireless LAN (WLAN)
configuration and management by coalescing a network “intelligence” previously
spread across physically distributed access points. The Summit WM3600 wireless LAN
controller is the WLAN’s single point of contact, thus reducing wireless networking
complexity by moving management out of the ceiling and into the wiring closet. In
addition, through the use of a Virtual AP architecture, the Summit WM3600 wireless
LAN controller lets you create multiple WLANs without changing or adding to the
existing wired network infrastructure.
