Belden has announced the addition of a 12-port Wireless LAN Switch to its existing 8-port and 24-port switch offerings. The WLAN switches are a key component of the Belden Wireless Solution: a Layer-2 Edge Architecture/Channel Blanket System designed to help users achieve a guaranteed and predictable rate of wireless connectivity and Quality of Service, according to Belden.
In the Belden Wireless System, the Switches (Part Nos. BWS-8008, BWS-8012 and BWS-8024) take care of the IP-packet processing of all wireless communications. Unique to the Belden Channel Blanket solution, scheduling algorithms are used dynamically to allocate capacity to clients, i.e., allowing the same channel to be transmitted from every Access Point in the system without co-channel interference. The Switches also create multiple Channel Blankets to deploy any number of Belden XtraThin Access Points (APs).
All three versions of the Belden Switch can be used alone or daisy-chained in a networked configuration to achieve the users’ scalability goals. The Switches meet all applicable industry standards for WLAN (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g) and Ethernet connectivity, and have Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) built-in.
