Product Overview

Designed for extending Wi-Fi coverage to outdoor areas, the ExtremeWireless
WiNG AP 6562 provides a cost-eective means of supporting the most demanding
wireless applications and a large number of wireless devices. Ideal for distribution
centers, hospitality, retail, and education campuses, the AP 6562 can handle the
increasing number of Wi-Fi enabled devices and bandwidth-heavy applications
connecting to your wireless network.

The AP 6562 access point is designed to help lower the cost of deploying and
operating a secure, reliable, and targeted outdoor wireless network, all powered by

the ExtremeWireless WiNG 5 architecture. Choose from two models: an integrated

antenna model for fast wall mounting or an external antenna model for pole

mounting and remote wireless backhaul.

The access point features dual 802.11n 2x2 radios with superior receive and transmit

performance, a console port for configuration, and a GiGE LAN/WAN PoE-enabled
port for local or remote network connectivity. With its ExtremeWireless WiNG 5

intelligence, this access point seamlessly extends your network to the outdoors
with higher throughput along with direct forwarding, security, QoS services and
site survivability.

INTELLIGENT MESH NETWORKING

Extend your wireless network coverage to areas where Ethernet cabling is cost-

prohibitive or otherwise impractical, the AP 6562 can operate wirelessly, connecting

to other access points for data backhaul, in a mesh topology. The AP 6562

provides robust data connections throughout the network by leveraging Extreme’s

MeshConnex™. MeshConnex provides ecient routing, low latency, low routing
overhead, high-speed handos and proven scalability. The AP 6562 delivers superior

performance in hotels and resorts covering pool areas, in retail environments
covering parking lots, outdoor yards in distribution centers, and education campus
outdoor areas.

OUTDOOR IP67 RATED, POLYMERIC
CORROSION RESISTANT ENCLOSURE

• Designed to withstand wind, rain, and

extreme temperature

LESS IS MORE

• ExtremeWireless WiNG 5 WLAN
solutions oer all the benefits of
11n—and then some. Our distributed
architecture extends QoS, security, and
mobility services to the APs so you
get better direct routing and network
resilience. That means no bottleneck
at the wireless controller, no latency

issues for voice applications, and no

jitter in your streaming video. And with
our broad selection of access points
and flexible network configurations,
you get the network you need with less

hardware to buy. Let us show you the

less complicated, less expensive way to
more capacity, more agility, and more
satisfied users

HIGH PERFORMANCE DUAL-RADIO DESIGN

The AP 6562 is an independent, dual-radio access point designed to lower the cost
of deploying and operating a secure, reliable 802.11n wireless LAN outdoor. The AP

6562 features dual MIMO radios with superior receive and transmit sensitivity. One

radio can be used for client access while the second radio is used for simultaneous
client access on a dierent frequency band or as a dedicated sensor for security
and troubleshooting. The AP 6562 is a site-survivable wireless access point that
does not require a controller and can act as a virtual controller coordinating the
activities of 24 neighboring access points.

GAP-FREE SECURITY

The AP 6562 provides enterprise-class security with layer 2-7 stateful packet

filtering firewall, AAA RADIUS services, Wireless IPS-lite, VPN gateway, and

location-based access control. The security capability of the AP 6562 is further
enhanced when deployed in combination with premise- or cloud-based versions
of the Extreme AirDefense Services Platform, which increase the security and

resiliency of AP 6562 networks with an array of advanced security and network
assurance features including Spectrum Analysis, Wireless IPS, Live RF, Advanced

Forensics, and AP Testing to proactively identify and mitigate network disruptions.

IMPROVE YOUR GUEST EXPERIENCE

Deploying a simple outdoor extension to the indoor wireless network comes

naturally with AP 6562, allowing hospitality customers the ability to reach outdoors
with applications targeted toward guest experience and concierge, expedited
check-in and valet, or revenue generation in pool and guest access areas.

FAST AND EASY ZERO-TOUCH DEPLOYMENT

The AP 6562 requires no configuration or manual firmware maintenance. The

ExtremeWireless WiNG controller discovers access points on the network and
automatically downloads all configuration parameters and firmware, greatly

reducing installation, maintenance and troubleshooting costs for Layer 2 and Layer
3 deployments. With internal and external antenna SKU options, the compact and
aesthetic design provides more choices for mounting locations.
