802.11ax Indoor AccessPoint
Setting New Standards in High-Performance
Enterprise Wi-Fi 6
Product Overview
The mobile revolution is upon us. Enterprises are implementing digital
transformation to connect with users, employees, guests, customers and
IoT devices to help them better understand and manage their business,
improve efficiencies, as well as the experience of their brand to customers
and stock holders. However, today?s Wi-Fi users have higher expectations,
consume more bandwidth, and have less patience with a poor Wi-Fi
experience. This is a challenge for every enterprise, as they struggle to
keep pace with the seemingly exponential growth of Wi-Fi demand and
data hungry applications? until now.
Designed to expand upon the performance improvements delivered with
80 2.11ac wave 2, 802.11ax borrows key technology from cellular to increase
device capacity and improve spectral efficiency, extracting more out of
available Wi-Fi spectrum. Bottom line, 802.11ax will support more users
and IoT devices, providing each the spectrum they require, future proofing
enterprise wireless networks, while minimizing the upgrade fatigue they
have been experiencing to date.
Purpose Built to Meet the Needs of Many
Extreme?s AP505i is a high performance, enterprise class 80 2.11ax access
point at the price/ performance point that is ideal for many verticals,
including; retail, education, hospitality and healthcare. These enterprises
need to support a high density of users and IoT devices, while delivering
an exceptional user experience.
The AP505i is managed by the Smart OmniEdge solution and powered by
the WiNG 7 operating system. WiNG?s legendary distributed architecture
places the intelligence at the edge where it unleashes the true capabilities
and performance of 802.11ax, without bottlenecks and limits. WiNG
incorporates the functionality of a controller in each access point,
enabling network solutions with controller-less solutions using a virtual
WWW.EXTREMENETWORKS.COM1
PRELIMINARY - SUBJECT TO CHANGE UNTIL RELEASED
controller that supports up to 64 access points or
distributed solutions comprised of branch sites with up to
256 access points per site. The solution can scale to
25,000 access points and are managed with a simple,
cloud UI and workflow with ExtremeCloud or
ExtremeCloud Appliance for campus and private
cloud networks.
Managing the Complexity of RF
Network managers will appreciate a powerful choice of RF
management for their 80 2.11 networks, with SmartRF or
ExtremeAI. WiNG?s SmartRF, is a robust RF management
system with AI/ ML ?like? functionality. Built on 10 years of
experience across thousands of large scale networks and
millions of access points, SmartRF?s algorithms manage
channels, radios, load balancing, band steering and many
other attributes of the RF.
For enterprises with highly dynamic RF environments,
ExtremeAI is a hosted service which delivers the latest in
AI/ ML technology for RF networks. ExtremeAI monitors
and learns the behavior of all your Smart OmniEdge RF
networks and applies artificial intelligence to auto tune the
network to achieve optimum performance and user
experience. Applied to 802.11ax, this technology will lessen
the workload of network engineers, while ensuring their
network users have the best experience.
The following table provides a brief description of the
various new elements in the 802.11ax standard. To learn
more about 802.11ax, go to: https://www.extremenetworks.

ExtremeCloud and ExtremeCloud Appliance
The AP505i is the latest access point in the Smart
OmniEdge portfolio. Network managers have a choice of
cloud or premise-based solutions; both using the same
UI and workflows. ExtremeCloud is a hosted cloud service,
while ExtremeCloud Appliance is designed for
premise-base solutions of campus and private cloud.
Both support secure zero touch provisioning that
significantly reduces deployment time connectivity via a
single pane of glass for unified management of Extreme
wired and wireless components in your network.
See the ExtremeCloud and ExtremeCloud Appliance data
sheets for details and ordering part numbers.
802.11ax Technology
Whereas prior generations of 802.11n, 802.11ac wave 1 and
2, can be considered generational improvements, each
building on the prior standard, the new PHY technology of
80 2.11ax adds a significant level of new technology which
takes Wi-Fi networks to an entirely new level.
