WiNG 7 Operating System Overview
The WiNG 7 operating system (OS) 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.X.X brings together the following key benefits of both deployment topologies
under one OS:
- 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
- ExtremeWireless WiNG - 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 WiFi 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.X. OS will power
the
ExtremeWireless WiNG product family. It supports the following
platforms:
- Service Platforms — NX 5500, NX 7500, NX 9500, NX 9600
- Virtual Platforms — CX 9000, VX 9000
Note
NOVA UI is available only
on controllers.
