Product Overview
GET BLAZING-FAST 802.11AC WI-FI SPEED AND THROUGHPUT
TO SUPPORT ALL YOUR USERS AND APPLICATIONS — ALL AT
A LOW COST
You need more out of your wireless LAN — you need to support more wireless
users and more of today’s extremely demanding voice and data applications. You
need the ultimate performance and bandwidth that 802.11ac can deliver, but cost
has been an issue — until today. Now you can get maximum 802.11ac performance
at a minimum cost with the ExtremeWireless WiNG AP 7532. The AP 7532 is
packed with a comprehensive feature set that delivers today’s fastest available
Wi-Fi speeds. No matter how many users are on your WLAN or what applications
they are using, they can count on dependable blazing desktop-style speed. The
next-generation 802.11ac radio delivers up to four times the speed of 802.11n. The
802.11n radio ensures backward compatibility with every mobile device in use in
your operation today — and advanced technology helps boost the bandwidth
of the 802.11n radio to 802.11ac levels. If you need sensor capability, you get the
flexibility to meet dierent business needs — you can deploy a single AP 7532 as
both a sensor and an access point for maximum cost-eciency, or as a dedicated
sensor for the most robust sensing functionality. No matter where you need
802.11ac speed, the AP 7532 will fit right in, from customer-facing public spaces to
the warehouse floor. Choose internal antennas for a sleek understated look that is
ideal in customer facing or carpeted oce areas, or external antennas that allow
you to choose the antennas that will deliver maximum range and performance in
demanding industrial areas. And with our high-powered radios, you’ll need fewer
access points. The result? Maximum capacity and performance for your wireless
LAN — at a new low cost.

INNOVATIVE FEATURES (CONT.)
UNLEASH OPTIMAL
The ExtremeWireless WiNG 5 WLAN operating
system oers a distributed architecture that
extends QoS, security, and mobility services to
the APs for 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 and more agility. And more
satisfied users.
WING FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
• 802.11r Fast Roaming: Supports fast roaming
between access points for mobile clients.
• Roaming Assistance: Enables a sticky-free
client WLAN network and improves network
performance.
• SMART-RF: Allows the WLAN to
automatically and intelligently adapt to
changes in the RF environment to protect
performance and eliminate unforeseen gaps
in coverage. Senses potential interference
from Wi-Fi and non Wi-Fi sources (such
as faulty antennas and neighboring access
point failures) and automatically adjusts
channels and power as needed.
• Smart Load Balancing: Distributes clients
evenly across access points and bands,
improving overall network performance.
UNMATCHED BANDWIDTH FOR UNMATCHED NETWORK AND
APPLICATION PERFORMANCE
802.11ac technology builds on 802.11n, delivering up to four times the bandwidth
through new technology advancements. 3X3 Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO)
allows 3-spatial streams of data to be sent simultaneously to a single mobile device,
substantially improving bandwidth eciency and utilization. 256 QAM modulation
gives the 802.11ac radio an additional performance boost, and works hand-in-hand
with MIMO technology to boost the bandwidth of the 802.11n radio to 802.11ac
speeds. Since 802.11ac operates only in the 5 GHz band, interference from 2.4 GHz
devices is finally eliminated — from Bluetooth® headsets to microwave ovens. The
result? Your WLAN can support an unprecedented number of users and applications
— including voice and video — allowing you to confidently deploy Bring Your Own
Device (BYOD) initiatives and empower new workgroups with mobility.
EASY MIGRATION TO 5TH GENERATION 802.11AC WI-FI
The dual-radio AP 7532 provides the simplest path to next-generation Wi-Fi. The
802.11ac radio readies you to support new 5 GHz mobile devices, while the 802.11n
radio ensures support for all existing mobile devices — including 2.4 GHz clients.
The radios work together to allow you to migrate to 802.11ac at your own pace —
and without the high cost of “rip and replace."
MORE ROBUST WIRELESS CONNECTIONS
Your users will experience a more robust wireless connection than ever before,
thanks to improved beamforming. Beamforming creates the most ecient path
for data transmission between an access point and a mobile device. Until today,
the transmitting beamformer worked alone to define this path. Now, the receiver
also assists, a process known as sounding. The result is a stronger connection that
enables faster data transmission. Application throughput and performance are
improved, along with mobile device battery power.
GAP-FREE SECURITY
The AP 7532 secures all your wireless transmissions, ensuring compliance with the
government or industry regulations your business may be subject to, such as PCI
in retail and HIPAA in healthcare. Your network is protected every second of every
day with comprehensive integrated security features that include layer 2-7 stateful
packet filtering firewall, AAA RADIUS services, a VPN gateway and location-based
access control.
FLEXIBLE WIPS SENSOR SUPPORT
You choose how you want to implement sensing to support AirDefense Network
Assurance features. While you can always choose to deploy an AP 7532 as a
dedicated sensor, Radio Share and O-Channel Scan features work hand-in-hand
to allow either or both radios to carry client data and act as a sensor, providing
dualband sensing without adding cost.
VOICE, LOCATIONING, AND GUEST ACCESS
Support for Voice-over-wireless LAN (VoWLAN) quality of service (QoS) ensures
toll quality, even with many simultaneous calls on a single access point. In addition,
you can leverage locationing services to locate and track people and assets, as well
as control network and application access. And since you can ensure that users are
only able to access authorized networks, sites, and applications, it’s easy to provide
hotspot and guest access.
