  • Access Points (802.11ac) — AP7522, AP7532, AP7562, AP7612, AP7632, AP7662, AP8432, AP8533
  • Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000
The 802.11ax model access points are a part of the ExtremeWireless OmniEdge line of products. Following is an overview of the 802.11ax model APs:
  • AP410i/e - This is a tri-radio, indoor model 802.11ax access point. The “i” in AP410i indicates that the access point comes with internal antennas and the “e” indicates that it comes with external antenna connectors. The access points feature a dual-band radio, two band-locked radios, six Wi-Fi internal or external antennas, and one Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) antenna.

    The AP410i/e requires a minimum base firmware of WiNG 7.3.0.
  • AP460i/e - This is a tri-radio, outdoor model enterprise class 802.11ax access point. The “i” in AP460i indicates that it comes with internal antennas and the “e” in AP460e indicates that the access point comes with external antenna connectors. The access points feature a dual-band radio, two band-locked radios, eight Wi-Fi internal or external antennas, and one BLE antenna.
