ExtremeWireless™ AP30
Industry-first Pluggable Enterprise Wi-Fi Access Point and
Sensor designed for instant, continuous, and adaptable
client and IoT connectivity
The AP30 revolutionizes the way Wi-Fi is designed, deployed, and re-
deployed, providing enterprise access, monitoring, and analytics in a new
compact form factor. With a simple and intuitive design coupled with
pain-free installation and automated over-the-air setup, the AP30 is the
ideal choice for a variety of dynamic use cases including delivering instant
network access, plugging RF holes, providing security and analytics, and
remote VPN access.
The AP30 is equipped with 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy
(BLE) technology for connectivity and monitoring services. With multiple
operating modes, the AP30 can be used to extend Wi-Fi connectivity via
existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, bridge IoT devices, or scan the RF environment
for business and security applications.

Flexible Wi-Fi
Administrators can quickly deploy the AP30 in any
location that has connectivity requirements. No
need to run new cables or ceiling-mount this access
point, simply find a power outlet and plug it in. Once
powered, the AP30 can be Ethernet connected to a
neighboring data outlet, mesh to an existing network,
or operate as an overlay sensor.
3rd Party Networks
The AP30 can connect to 3rd-party Wi-Fi networks to
help compensate coverage or capacity challenges. With
sensor mode equipped, the AP30 may also be used
to monitor 3rd-party networks for eciency so that
administrators can optimize their network accordingly.
Remote VPN
No More Dead Zones
The AP30 can be temporarily or permanently
installed in minutes to eliminate dead zones in distant
corners of the oce, long hallways or passageways,
staircases, breakrooms, storage rooms, etc., saving
the time and money of pulling new cable or
re-positioning existing ceiling-mounted access points.
Solve Density Issues
Augment overloaded ceiling-mounted access points
in any-sized meeting space. The AP30 can be
temporarily or permanently installed in minutes to
mitigate overloaded ceiling-mounted access points in
conference rooms, training rooms, cafeterias, lobby
areas, waiting rooms, gymnasiums, etc.
The AP30 can instantly extend corporate connectivity
to anywhere you can plug it in to a power socket
and get an IP address. With the AP30’s native VPN
capability you can instantly make your corporate
SSID and security available for teleworkers,
marketing events, sales demonstrations, osite
meetings, embedded employees consulting for other
companies, temporary oces, and so on.
IoT Connectivity
The AP30 can quickly and easily bridge an IoT device
to an Extreme or 3rd-party network in any easy or
hard-to-reach location. The AP30 can act like an IoT
hub and securely connect any Wi-Fi and/or Ethernetbased IoT device and sensor.
