ExtremeCloud IQ access points (APs) use 802.11 wireless standards (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be) for network communications, and bridge network traffic to an Ethernet LAN.
Extreme Networks offers Universal APs that can operate in either ExtremeCloud IQ or in an on-premise environment — one configured operating mode at a time. From the factory, Universal APs are configured for management by ExtremeCloud IQ and always engage with ExtremeCloud IQ for onboarding. You have the option to deploy your devices locally — on-premise from ExtremeCloud IQ Controller (or an ExtremeWireless WiNG controller) — or to deploy your devices from ExtremeCloud IQ. From an ExtremeCloud IQ account, onboard and register the Universal AP using either Local Management or Cloud Management. To manage these APs on-premise, you can specify Local Management.
