ExtremeWireless™ AP510C/CX

Wi-Fi 6 certified (802.11ax) Indoor Access Point with
integrated or external antenna options

Exteme’s AP510C/CX is a high performance, enterprise class Wi-Fi 6 access
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 AP510C/CX provides high-eciency 802.11ax aggregate data rates up
to 4.8 Gbps currently in both the 5 GHz band and 2.4 GHz band. It also
supports a Software Selectable Radio (SSR), providing the flexibility to
simultaneously operate both radios in the 5 GHz band.

Despite the exponential growth of users, BYOD devices, IoT, high­bandwidth applications and security threats straining the infrastructure,
the AP510 combines performance, security services and insightful ML/AI
management capabilities to deliver an enterprise class solution at a
value price.

Security

Management Analytics

The AP510C/CX delivers the highest level of security
services, beginning with support for the latest Wi-Fi
Alliance WPA3 security certifications. Additionally,
supporting a stateful L2-L7 DPI firewall for context­based access security, Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK)
and much more.

Wi-Fi 6 Technology

The AP510C/CX delivers the highest level of security
services, beginning with support for the latest Wi-Fi
Alliance WPA3 security certifications. Additionally,
supporting a stateful L2-L7 DPI firewall for context­based access security, Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK)
and much more.

In conjunction with ExtremeCLoud IQ, the AP510C/
CX provides a very rich set of data displayed via
real-time analytics as well as a historial timeline..
The Network 360 and Client 360 views powered by
machine learning provide context-specific granularity
with perspective views for locations, network, APs,
individual client devices as well as policy roles.

RF Monitoring

Network administrators will appreciate a powerful
choice of RF management for their Wi-Fi networks,
with Adaptive RF management with AI/ ML like
functionality. Adaptive RF algorithms provide
intelligent selection of the best channels and transmit
power for unimpaired dual 5 GHz operation. Load
balancing, band steering and many other attributes of
the RF can all be automated.

Programable Radios

Extreme launched the industry's first software defined

802.11ax access point supporting not only a dual 5
GHz capability but also three software programmable
modes to optimally manage radios to provide the
highest level of client performance. The AP510C
intelligent monitoring of the software configurable
radios enables network administrators to configure
network RF topology based on user environment and
configure the access points in dierent modes
as required.

Integrated BLE and Zigbee

To support both IoT and Guest Engagement services
the AP510C/CX integrates Bluetooth to connect with
IoT devices with Thread wireless to engage loyalty
customers with Apple iBeacon. Enterprises can use
Google Eddystone to send advertisements directly
to shoppers, guests, and conference attendees. This
makes it ideal for businesses to advertise their app­download pages, captive portals, or site-specific
information.
