WiNG 7.1.X Operating
System Overview
The WiNG 7.1.X operating system is a solution designed for
802.11n, 802.11ac and 802.11ax networking. It is a convergence
of the legacy ExtremeWireless™ WiNG (5.9.X) and ExtremeWireless™
(10.X) wireless operating systems. It offers a high-level of
flexibility and scalability covering both campus and distributed
modes of deployment.
WiNG 7.1.X brings together the following key benefits of both
deployment topologies under one fold:
- ExtremeWireless - The
ExtremeWireless software provides a secure, highly
scalable, cost-effective solution based on the IEEE
802.11 standard. The system is intended for enterprise
networks operating on multiple floors in more than one
building, and is ideal for public environments, such as
airports and convention centers that require multiple
access points. It is an ideal solution for high-density,
campus and stadium deployments. It is well suited to
meet the needs of enterprises in the education,
healthcare, sports and entertainment verticals. The
ExtremeWireless OS key strengths are:
- Extensive Policy Framework
- Contextual Device and Application Control
- Application Visibility & Control with
Analytics
- BYOD - Single SSID
with Programmable Data Path
- Voice & Video Optimized with Seamless
Roaming
- -
The WiNG architecture is a solution designed for 802.11n
and 802.11ac networking. It is designed for standalone
or distributed hierarchical networks. The
ExtremeWireless WiNG software distributes intelligence
right to the network edge, empowering every controller
and access point with the intelligence needed to be
network-aware, able to identify and dynamically route
traffic over the most efficient path available at that
time. It is highly scalable and well suited to meet the
needs of large, geographically distributed enterprises.
It is an ideal wireless networking solution for the
retail, manufacturing, transportation & logistics,
and hospitality verticals. The ExtremeWireless OS key
strengths are:
- Simple Guest Access with Analytics
- Contextual Application Control
- Advanced Diagnostics and Remote
Troubleshooting
- Intrusion, Compliance and Wi-Fi Forensics
- Scale-out 1000s of APs with Rapid Rollout
- Self-tuning RF (Smart-RF)
- Distributed Service Intelligence
Going forward, this unified, common, wireless, infrastructure
WiNG 7.1 OS will power both ExtremeWireless and ExtremeWireless
WiNG product families. The WiNG 7.1.1 OS
supports the following platforms:
- Access Points
- AP510i, AP505i, AP510e, AP560i
- Service
Platforms - NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600 and VX9000
Note
The WING 7.1.X
introduces support for new 11ax AP portfolio for ExtremeWireless
OmniEdge product line.
Interoperability with WiNG 5.9.X
Interoperability with access points running the WiNG 5.9.X OS is
another salient feature of the WiNG 7.1.X OS. As part of this
inter-interoperability, WiNG 7.1.X wireless controllers and
service platforms are capable of deploying and managing the
following WiNG 5.9.X APs:
- Access
Points - AP6522, AP6562, AP7161, AP7502, AP7522, AP7532,
AP7562, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP763, AP7662, AP8163,
AP8543, AP8533
Dual Mode
Capability
The WiNG 7.1.X AP5XX (AP505, AP510 and AP560)
model access points have the capability of operating in the
following two modes: Distributed and Centralized. For a newly-manufactured,
out-of-the-box AP5XX model access point the mode of operation is
not specified.
