Capabilities

Summit brings together a variety of capabilities that result in a comprehensive wireless LAN solution for vendors of application-specific devices. These capabilities include hardware and software features as well as certification and support services. Please review the below for specific information on all of Summit's capabilities.

Hardware Capabilities

The hardware in a Summit product is designed specifically for business-critical ASDs and the challenging radio environments in which they operate. Hardware innovations enable Summit modules and cards to provide far greater performance and range than radio modules and cards designed for office and consumer applications while minimizing power consumption and allowing for operation in extreme environments. Key Summit hardware capabilities include:

Software Capabilities

Business-critical ASDs are specialized devices that require specialized software to deliver the security, trouble-free operations, and manageability that customers require. Summit software includes drivers, an integrated supplicant, and a full-featured management and monitoring utility called the Summit Client Utility (SCU). Key software capabilities include:

With SCU, users and administrators have complete control over key radio parameters including transmit power and SSID as well as security parameters inclusive of encryption and authentication. SCU supports multiple network profiles to allow for device operation in multiple facilities. For a closer look at SCU, click here.

Certifications

Summit is committed to strict compliance with all applicable regulations as set forth by agencies such as ETSI, the FCC and TELEC. We're also equally committed to tested and certified compliance with key Wi-Fi Alliance and Cisco Compatible Extensions specifications.

At Summit, we believe that it's not enough to simply earn these certifications. We believe that helping our customers achieve these certifications for their Summit-equipped devices is part of our product, our solution and our responsibility. With the existing grants, test reports and approvals for our family of wireless LAN modules, Summit can minimize the cost, time and complexity of attaining all required certifications. Please review our Certifications section for product-specific certification status and how Summit can assist with your certification process.

Support Services

ASD vendors require not just a radio module or card but a radio solution, one that can be integrated in the ASD and deployed for business-critical applications. Summit understands that if the radio doesn't work, the ASD doesn't work. If the ASD doesn't work, the end customer doesn't work.

Summit provides engineer-to-engineer integration assistance to ASD manufacturers. Consultation and documentation to aid in custom device driver and application development is available. In addition, Summit's support extends to Summit radio module and card operation in the field. Summit's system engineering team provides Level 2 technical support to ASD vendors and is well versed in radio frequency characteristics, wired and wireless network architectures, and security protocols.
