Abstract

3Com Corp. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the performance and feature support of its 3Com Unified Gigabit Wireless PoE Switch 24, 3Com Wireless 7760 11a/b/g PoE Access Point and 3Com Wireless 8760 Dual Radio 11a/b/g PoE Access Point for the Small and Medium Business (SMB) market.

Engineers found that the switch offered a centralized management interface with one IP address to manage wired and wireless LAN segments/devices. The switch also delivered 24 GbE ports capable of wire-speed Gigabit Ethernet throughput along with Power over Ethernet (PoE). Plus the switch offers features like RF management, and fast roaming between wireless Access Points (APs) when used with 7760 and 8760 APs. Testing took place in September 2006.
