Introduction to ExtremeGuest Essentials

ExtremeGuest Essentials is a robust and comprehensive guest management and engagement solution that personalizes engagement by understanding customer behavior and interest, and then tailoring services based on those insights. For example, the number of customers that enter a store, how often they visit, and how much time they spend are all metrics that can be measured through ExtremeGuest Essentials.

ExtremeGuest Essentials can take advantage of social networking behavior to increase patronage, expand brand exposure, and understand client demographics and preferences in a more comprehensive and personal way. Guest onboarding with sponsor approval is supported, allowing a sponsor to approve or deny guest access with a single click.

ExtremeGuest Essentials supports all access point models that are supported with ExtremeCloud IQ.

For documentation on each access point, refer to the AP model number under Extreme Documentation at extremenetworks.com/documentation.
