Note
The AP5XX model
access points are part of the 802.11ax portfolio, introduced along with
the ExtremeWireless WING 7.1.X software. They form a part of the
ExtremeWireless OmniEdge product line.
WiNG 7.1.1 introduces the following two ExtremeMobility
access points:
- AP560i - This is a
cloud-ready, stadium optimized, WiFi 6, 802.11ax outdoor access
point with an omnidirectional, internal antenna. It is ideally
suited for high-density user environments, such as stadiums, large
public venues, convention centers and school auditoriums. The AP560i
offers flexible deployment options and can be mounted under a seat,
to a pole, and a wall, thereby ensuring exceptional mobile user
experience.
- AP510e - This is a
next generation, enterprise-class 802.11ax access point. The AP
features a dual-band radio, a band locked radio, and comes with
eight (8) WiFi external antennas and one Bluetooth Low Energy
(BLE) antenna.
Note
The AP510e model access point, for the WiNG 7.1.1 release, will
only support the following antenna type:
ML-2452-APA2-02.
The other ExtremeMobility AP5XX model access points supported by the
WiNG 7.1.X software are:
- AP505i - This is a
next generation, enterprise-class 802.11ax access point. The “i” in
AP505i indicates that it comes with internal antennas. The AP505i
can be used in stadiums, public venues such as hospitals and hotels,
retail industry, and educational institutions. The 802.11ax
technology supports more users and internet of things
(IoT) devices.
- AP510i - This is a
next generation, enterprise-class 802.11ax access point. The “i” in
AP510i indicates that it comes with internal antennas. The AP
features a dual-band radio, a band locked radio, and comes with
eight (8) WiFi internal antennas and one Bluetooth Low
Energy (BLE) antenna.
Note
The
AP560i and AP510e access points require a minimum base firmware of WiNG
7.1.1 and can adopt to a WiNG 7.1.1 enabled Controller/Virtual
Controller, or ExtremeCloud Appliance.
Note
The AP505i and AP510i
access points require a minimum base firmware of WiNG 7.1.0. These
access points can adopt to a WiNG 7.1.0 and above enabled
Controller/Virtual Controller, or ExtremeCloud Appliance.
