WiNG 7.3.1 introduces:

AP310i/e - This is a dual-radio indoor model 802.11ax access point. The “i” in AP310i indicates that the access point comes with internal antennas, and the “e” indicates that it comes with external antenna connectors. The access point features one built-in dual-band radio and one band-locked radio, four WiFi internal or external antennas, and one Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) antenna.
Note
The AP310i/e requires a minimum base firmware of WiNG 7.3.1.

Following are the AP4XX and AP5XX model APs supported:

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 point features a dual-band radio, two band-locked radios, six WiFi internal or external antennas, and one BLE antenna.
Note
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 point features a dual-band radio, two band-locked radios, eight WiFi internal or external antennas, and one BLE antenna.
Note
The AP460i/e requires a minimum base firmware of WiNG 7.3.0.
AP560h - This is a dual-radio, cloud-ready, stadium optimized, Wi-Fi 6, 802.11ax outdoor access point with eight internal antennas, supporting two software selectable 30 degree and 70 degree directional antennas. It is ideally suited for high-density user environments, such as stadiums, large public venues, convention centers and school auditoriums. The AP560h offers flexible deployment options and can be mounted under a seat, to a pole, and a wall, thereby ensuring exceptional mobile user experience.
AP560i - This is a cloud-ready, stadium optimized, WiFi 6, 802.11ax outdoor access point with two 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 BLE antenna.
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 BLE antenna.
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.
