Data Sheet

ExtremeWireless™ WiNG 7562
Outdoor Access Point

Blazing-Fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi Speed and Throughput in Your
Most Challenging Outdoor Environments — All at a Low Cost

Product Overview

If you need to provide wireless network access in outdoor areas, you
not only need an access point built for the outdoors, you also need the
power and performance of 802.11ac to handle today’s bandwidth-heavy
applications, but cost has been an issue — until now.

MeshConnex™ on Both Data Radios

Creating a Mesh network on both radios
allows automatic failover for superior
uptime and survivability.

Backhaul Detection

If the AP 7562 loses the backhaul
connection, it self-forms and self-heals
into a mesh router in the network,
eliminating any disruption in wireless
connectivity.

Factory Installed Antenna Option

Outdoor Rated IP 67 antenna model
available for easy installation.

Introducing the ExtremeWireless AP 7562 802.11ac outdoor access point
from Extreme Networks, purpose-built to meet the demands of your
outdoor spaces. On the outside, the AP 7562 oers a rugged housing built
to handle anything from rain, snow, and hurricane-force winds to sub-zero
temperatures. On the inside, you get all the power you need to provide
high-performance, seamless, reliable, and secure wireless access for even
the densest user populations.

The 802.11ac radio provides four times the bandwidth of ‘n’ for blazing-

fast speed, regardless of whether users are viewing schematics, placing a
video call, or accessing information in a business applications. The 802.11n
radio ensures backward compatibility with all your existing user devices.

The advanced ExtremeWireless WiNG 5 operating system provides the

advanced intelligence required to create a “fully network-aware” WLAN,
where all the infrastructure in your WLAN works together to determine the
most ecient route for every transmission. Self-healing, automatic failover
and site survivability ensure superior network uptime — even if the backhaul
connection is lost. And if you need sensor capability, the AP 7562 can meet
just about any business need — a single AP 7562 can function as both a
sensor and an access point for maximum cost-eciency, or as a dedicated
sensor for the most robust sensing functionality.

Load Balancing, Preemptive
Roaming, and Rate Scaling

Increases reliability and resilience of the
wireless network to support mission­critical applications.

The Extreme Dierence – The
Advanced ExtremeWireless
WiNG 5 Operating System

WiNG 5 distributes intelligence and
control to every piece of infrastructure
in your WLAN — the wireless controllers
as well as all access points, including
the AP 7562. Now, all AP 7562 access
points work in concert with all WLAN
infrastructure to determine the fastest
and most ecient routing of every
transmission, based on factors such as
user, location, application, and available
wired and wireless resources. Trac
no longer needs to travel to a central
controller, dramatically reducing the
load on the wired network and virtually
eliminating the typical bottlenecks and
chokepoints in a centralized WLAN.

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.

The AP 7562 — delivering superior Wi-Fi performance in all of your

outdoor spaces.

Blazing-Fast 802.11ac speed for unmatched performance on all
of your applications

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
eciency 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 Fifth-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi

The dual-radio AP 7562 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 — without the high cost of “rip and replace”.

Superior Availability

While the AP 7562 can be adopted by an ExtremeWireless WiNG controller

for remote control and management, it can also function as a stand-alone
access point. Even if an adopted AP 7562 loses its connection to the
wireless controller due to a wired network or T1/E1 line backhaul problem,
your users can stay connected.

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.

Protect Your Network and Your Data with Gap-Free Security

The AP 7562 secures all your wireless transmissions, ensuring compliance

with the government or industry regulations your business may be
subjected to — from PCI in retail to 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.

More Robust Wireless Connections

The AP 7562 provides your users with a more robust wireless connection

than ever before, thanks to improved beamforming. Beamforming creates
the most ecient 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 and faster data transmission,
improving application throughput and performance, as well as mobile
device battery power.

Flexible WIPS Sensor Support

You choose how you want to implement sensing to support
Extreme AirDefense Network Assurance features. While you
can always choose to deploy an AP 7562 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 dual-band sensing
without adding cost.

Voice, Locationing, and Guess Access

Support for Voice-over-Wireless LAN (VoWLAN) quality
of service (QoS) ensures toll-quality calls, 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 with the ability to prevent access
to unauthorized networks, sites, and applications, you can
easily provide hotspot and guest access.

Superior Scalability

The AP 7562 can be adopted by WiNG controllers

or Extreme WiNG Azara Cloud for easy centralized
management, allowing you to easily add capacity as your
business grows. No matter how many access points and
controllers you need or where in the world they are located,
you can deploy, monitor, troubleshoot and manage them all
from a single location.

Patented MeshConnex™ Protects Network
Performance and Uptime

As the leader in outdoor mesh networks, Extreme Networks

puts over 200 patents to work for you in our AP 7562
access points. Our unique routing engine, MeshConnex™,
ensures superior uptime and site survivability, along with
the highest possible data rate in challenging outdoor
environments — at all times. MeshConnex™ dynamically
senses weak or failing signals, securely moves mobile users
to alternate APs, and boosts signal power to automatically
fill RF holes and ensure uninterrupted mobile user access.

And since mesh eliminates the need to install fiber and

wires between buildings, on campus grounds, and in
business parks and large outdoor areas, the cost and
complexity of your WLAN is reduced.
