The Altitude 300 wireless port is unburdened by expensive CPUs, memory, system software and power supplies. Instead, Extreme's unique AccessAdapt technology lets the Altitude 300 "inherit" software and configuration information as soon as it's connected to a Summit 300-48.
The Altitude 300 handles encryption directly in hardware, outperforming access points that rely on software-based encryption. The wireless port implements the government-endorsed Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) to ensure superior security. The Altitude 300 and Summit 300-48 work together to authenticate users, employing IEEE 802.1x and a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server to grant or deny network access. Integrated or detachable antennas establish radio-frequency links between the Altitude 300 and terminals running 802.11a/b/g.
