AP5010

To support both IoT and Guest Engagement services, the AP5010 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 AP5010 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 AP5010 delivers the highest level of security services, beginning with support for the latest Wi-Fi Alliance WPA3 security certifications. Leverage Extreme Fabric Attach to securely automate provisioning and deployment by connecting to a Fabric Connect-enabled switch. Additionally, the access point supports a stateful L2-L7 DPI firewall for context-based access security, tri-frequency security,and Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK), location analytics sensor, 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 AP5010 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 AP5010 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 AP5010 as a universal hardware platform comes with a muti-persona capability allowing user choice of the Wi-Fi operating system (OS). The ExtremeCloud IQ operating system, the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller Engine operating system, or the WiNG operating system persona can be enabled as required. The desired persona can be selected at start-up or changed at a later stage. After you select the persona, the AP5010 assumes the features or capabilities of the selected OS. When first booted, the AP5010 automatically connects to ExtremeCloud IQ to find its persona. The pre-provisioned OS persona is then remotely enabled on the AP5010 system, eliminating the need for manual selection.

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 AP5010 operates across three times as much spectrum as previous generations of Wi-Fi to deliver enhanced wireless experiences, faster speeds, and less interference.
