Product Overview
EASILY DELIVER COST-EFFECTIVE HIGH-PERFORMANCE
WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY IN PUBLIC-FACING MICRO-CELL
ENVIRONMENTS
Whether you are responsible for a hotel, an assisted living facility, dormitory
housing, or an apartment complex, you are challenged with providing high-speed
Internet access in a challenging environment with many rooms — rooms with
RF-blocking walls, floors, and doors. You need a cost-eective way to provide the
dependable desktop-style wireless speeds your users expect in-room on however
many consumer mobile devices they may own — including 2.4 GHz and the newer
5 GHz smartphones and tablets. To further complicate the challenge, today’s users
are watching videos, making video calls, and posting on multimedia-heavy social
networking websites on their mobile devices — all bandwidth-heavy applications
that require a latency- and jitter-free connection.
Introducing the easiest way to solve these big business problems: the
ExtremeWireless WiNG AP 7502, a pocket-sized 802.11ac access point. The AP
7502 is purpose-built for public-facing micro-cell environments such as hotel and
patient rooms, classrooms, and apartments. The dual 802.11n and 802.11ac radios,
five internal antennas, plus a host of Extreme-only features provide a dependable
high-performance wireless connection for every user and every mobile device in
the room. Its revolutionary small size makes it easy to install anywhere, while the
understated design allows it to easily hide in plain sight. Deployment couldn’t be
easier or faster — the AP 7502 can be installed in just a few minutes, with zero-
touch automatic configuration. And locationing support, including Bluetooth®
SMART, opens the door to a world of applications that can help provide users
with a world-class experience that will put your organization a step above
the competition.

TWO RADIOS FOR COMPREHENSIVE MOBILE
DEVICE SUPPORT
With its dual 802.11n and 802.11ac radios, the AP 7502 supports all
the mobile devices that walk through your door, from legacy 2.4
GHz devices to today’s new 5 GHz consumer smartphones. The
next-generation 802.11ac radio empowers your network with fifthgeneration Wi-Fi — more than double the throughput of 802.11n —
helping to provide the capacity and speed your network
needs to handle multiple devices running multiple bandwidthhungry applications.
SUPERIOR WI-FI PERFORMANCE
This little access point is equipped with big business features
that provide your users with the seamless enterprise-class
wireless services they expect. Two features that are optimized
for micro-cell environments work hand-in-hand to eliminate
RF interference and the resulting degradation of the quality
of the wireless connection that can occur. Adaptive RF Power
automatically detects nearby access points and adjusts output
power as needed, while Automatic Channel Selection ensures the
selection of an unused or least-used channel. And three features
prevent too many users or trac overload from reducing the
quality of service on a specific AP 7502. Load balancing monitors
the number of users on any specific access point, and when
needed, works with RoamAssist to override any “client stickiness,”
ensuring clients can roam to an access point that will provide a
better signal. Pre-emptive roaming can work hand-in-hand with
Roam Assist to provide a mobile-phone-style fast and seamless
roaming experience.
INSTALL IN JUST A FEW MINUTES
Installation is literally a snap – just mount the bracket wherever
you'd like and snap the AP 7502 into the bracket. If desired, a
decorative trim plate can be snapped on over the AP 7502 to
add a more polished look for devices that are installed in visible
areas. With 802.3af/at PoE support, the need to run expensive
cabling to provide power to the AP 7502 is eliminated. And
with true zero-touch provisioning, the AP 7502 is automatically
discovered and configured — no hands-on required.
TAMPER-PROOF DESIGN
Since the AP 7502 is readily accessible to guests and patients,
we made it virtually tamper-proof. Once the AP 7502 is snapped
into its metal bracket that is mounted to the wall, it cannot be
removed without a special tool. For additional security, you can
also bolt the AP 7502 directly to the metal bracket with a special
torque screw that also cannot be removed without a special tool.
And to make the tiny AP 7502 even harder to spot, you can also
turn o the status LED lights via the central controller.
ROBUST LOCATIONING SERVICES
With integrated support for Bluetooth SMART, Wi-Fi locationing,
and Apple’s iBeacon, you can connect to user mobile devices
when they are in the room to extend special discounts and other
valuable information, strengthening the customer relationship
and providing a true competitive advantage. In addition, you
can automatically track nearby assets that are enabled with
locationing tags, allowing you to spend less time managing
assets, yet have better visibility into asset location and status.
COST-EFFECTIVELY POWER SECURITY CAMERAS
AND MORE WITH POE PASSTHROUGH
Not only does the AP 7502 provide wireless connectivity, it
can also power a wide variety of equipment. With 802.3af
compatible PoE Out, you can easily provide power to an IP
security camera, a Voice-over-IP phone, another access point,
a dedicated environmental sensor and more, all without the
expense of running power cables.
EASY AND FLEXIBLE MANAGEMENT MODES
Choose the management mode that best meets the needs
of your technology environment. The AP 7502 can be easily
managed and adopted by an ExtremeWireless WiNG Controller.
With virtual controller mode, one AP 7502 can adopt up to 24
additional AP 7520 access points by simply logging into one
AP 7520 and clicking on a single checkbox — ideal for smaller
organizations that don’t require or want a wireless switch. In
addition, the AP 7502 can also operate in stand-alone mode,
where it can be managed individually, ensuring the continuation
of wireless services — even if the connection to the centralized
controller is lost.
