The AP5000 series access points are Wi-Fi 6E tri-radio
access points with support for multiple Extreme Networks operating systems. The
AP5000 series access points include the following AP models:
AP5010 — Indoor access
point
AP5050U — Indoor/Outdoor,
underseat access point
AP5050D — Indoor/Outdoor AP
with selectable narrow and wide angle built in directional antennas.
The AP5050U/D has an Environment choice of Indoor, Outdoor, or
Outdoor — Under
Seat, depending on the installation location.
Support for 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E) radio (Indoor) operation is dependent on the compliance
region. Support for 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E) radio
(Outdoor) operation is partially supported, depending on availability indicated
by the Automatic Frequency Coordination (AFC) server.
Notes:
AP5010 6 GHz radio operates indoor in Low Power mode only. All countries ae
certified
AP5050U/D0 6 GHz radio operates only in Low Power mode when set to Indoor. All
countries are certified. In the US & Canada, 6 GHz Low Power is not allowed
for AP5050U/D because is it is a weatherized AP: Outdoor APs are not allowed to
operate in Low Power mode.
AP5050U/D0 6 GHz radio operates 6 GHz in Low Power mode when set to outdoor is
not allowed in most countries.
AP5050U/D0 6 GHz radio operates 6 GHz in Standard Power mode when set to
outdoor, under AFC server control in the US and Canada pending certification
approval.
For P5050U/D0 6 GHz SP - AFC certification:
U.S. IQC is connected to an FCC-approved AFC server
AP5050U/D FCC final approval is pending. When the approval is registered, the
APs will be able to provide 6E SP service under AFC server control.
Canada is currently in the process of approval, feature releases.
Out of Band discovery on the 6 GHz band.
APs that provide WLAN service on the 6 GHz band include Reduced Neighbor Report IE in all
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz beacons and probe responses. Out of Band discovery helps clients find 6
GHz SSIDs and channel information that comes from 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz beacons of co-located
access points.
Supports AirDefense Services Platform (ADSP) on radio 1 (3
bands) when 2x2 WLAN Tri-Band Sensor 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz, 6.0 GHz is selected on radio
1.
Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) 6E Compliant network
authentication methods.
Note
The World-Wide Universal Access Points 6 GHz radios support only the following Wi-Fi
Alliance (WFA) 6E Compliant network authentication methods:
OWE (Opportunistic Wireless Encryption)
for Open Networks
WPA3-Personal
WPA3-Enterprise
WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit
mode
WPA3-Compatibility
Note
WPA3-Compatibility is
not WFA compliant.
WPA3-Compatibility supports both WPA2 Personal and WPA3 Personal on the same network.
If a WPA3-Compatibility network is assigned to 6 GHz radio, only WPA3 Personal is
assigned, thus making the network compliant.
ExtremeCloud IQ
Controller
requires that your 6 GHz radio network assignment be WFA 6E compliant. It rejects network
configuration changes that result in 6 GHz radio network assignments that are not compliant.
It might be necessary to redefine your networks when configuring the 6 GHz radio on the Universal Access
Points.
Note
For all Extreme Networks access points, use the Extreme Networks
certified ACC-WIFI-MICRO-USB console cable. Other MICRO-USB console cables have not been
certified by Extreme Networks.
WPA3-Enterprise with 192-bit mode (AP5010)
WPA3-Enterprise with 192-bit security protocols offers better protection for
sensitive data. ExtremeCloud IQ Controller treats 192-bit mode configuration like
WPA3-Enterprise (802.1X/EAP), offering the same configuration options.
Note
WPA3-Enterprise with 192-bit mode
is supported on AP3000 and AP5010
only. Network assignment is restricted to profiles of supporting
devices.
