The AP4000 is a Universal and World SKU Wi-Fi 6E Wireless Access point that can run multiple Extreme operating systems for on-premises or cloud deployments. This innovation simplifies the sales ordering process and reinforces Extreme’s commitment to the journey to the "Infinite Enterprise." The World SKU allows customers, partners, and distributors to order one model for any region, replacing the age-old problem of country specific SKUs.

The AP4000 Wi-Fi 6E access point, with three 2x2:2 radios, provides high-efficiency, high-performance 802.11ax aggregate data rates up to 3.9 Gbps in the 6 GHz, 5 GHz, and 2.4 GHz band. Designed for high density environments, such as schools, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and stadiums, the AP4000 is powerful and intelligent enough to provide the highest level of client services without compromising security. Despite powerful capabilities, the AP4000 allows for flexible placement with a small form-factor, emphasizing aesthetics.

With more users, more devices, more things, more applications, and more threats straining the infrastructure, the AP4000 was engineered to meet those challenges. The AP4000 combines powerful 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E technology, advanced security, and ML/AI management capabilities together as an enterprise-class solution that allows you to deploy high speed, highly secure Wi-Fi into high-density environments.

Unlike other access points that scan only part-time, the AP4000 features a dedicated tri-frequency sensor that monitors for rogue devices full time, eliminating the risk of vulnerability and attacks. This tri-radio AP is capable of multiple operating modes, optimizing for maximum performance without trading off security. The AP4000 is the first enterprise Wi-Fi 6E access point that features a fully functional Multi-Band filter, enabling simultaneous operations with no performance degradation between all the 5 GHz frequencies and the entire range of 6 GHz frequencies (U-NII-5 through U-NII-8 bands).*

Benefits

To support both IoT and Guest Engagement services, the AP4000 integrates Bluetooth to connect with IoT devices to engage loyalty customers with Apple iBeacon. Enterprises can use API driven applications to send advertisements directly to shoppers, guests, and conference attendees. This makes it ideal for businesses to advertise their app download pages, captive portals, or site-specific information.

In conjunction with Extreme centralized management software, cloud or on-premises, the AP4000 provides a rich set of data displayed via context driven widgets, representing unlimited historical data or a combination of historical and current data. This provides context-specific granularity with perspective views for locations, network, APs, individual client devices, and policy roles. In each context, administrators can adjust dashboards using a widget library.

The AP4000 delivers the highest level of security services, beginning with support for the latest Wi-Fi Alliance WPA3 security certifications. Additionally, the access point supports a stateful L2-L7 DPI firewall for context-based access security, tri-frequency security and location analytics sensor, Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK), and much more..

Extreme launched the industry's first software defined Wi-Fi 6E access point supporting two software programmable modes to optimally manage radios to provide the highest level of client performance. The AP4000 is a tri-radio access point and can transmit with three data radios or with two data radios and a dedicated tri-frequency sensor. The AP4000 intelligently monitors the software-configurable radios, enabling network managers to configure network RF technology based on the user environment and configure the access points in different modes as required.

The AP4000 as a universal hardware platform comes with a multi-persona capability allowing user choice of the Wi-Fi operating system (OS). The ExtremeCloud IQ operating system or the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller Engine operating system can be enabled as required. The desired persona can be selected at start-up or changed at a later stage.

Once selected, the AP4000 assumes the features/capabilities of the selected OS. When first booted, the AP4000 automatically connects to ExtremeCloud IQ to find its persona. The pre-provisioned OS persona is then remotely enabled on the AP4000 system, eliminating the need for manual selection. ExtremeCloud IQ geo-locates the access point and accurately provides the channel and power specifications under which the product can operate in that country.

Wi-Fi 6 ushered a new generation of Wi-Fi. While prior generations emphasized on higher speeds, 802.11ax technology instead focused on improving Wi-Fi efficiency as well as speed, taking Wi-Fi networks to an entirely new level. Now, with addition of the 6 GHz band for unlicensed operation, Wi-Fi 6E has access to up to 1,200 MHz of spectrum*, which is three times that of existing "usable" spectrum and which enables improved quality of service (QoS) in dense environments, new applications and use cases, and an improved user experience. Visit here to learn more about 802.11ax and Wi-Fi 6E.

By utilizing the additional 6 GHz spectrum offered by Wi-Fi 6E, the AP4000 operates across three times as much spectrum as previous generations of Wi-Fi to deliver enhanced wireless experiences, faster speeds, and less interference.
