This arrangement is part of the Extreme Unified Access Architecture, which is designed to support both
wired and wireless networks from a single network switch. Because the intelligence normally associated
with an access point is maintained in the Summit 300-48 switch, the cost of implementing radio access is
greatly reduced. The network can still be expanded as needed, but it becomes much easier to maintain
security and reliability at reduced cost.
