ExtremeMobility™ 500 series 802.11ax access points, part of Extreme’s Smart OmniEdge™ solution, are designed to provide unrivaled connectivity in the most dense, challenging environments, deliver leading-edge customer experiences, and ensure that infrastructure isn’t a hindrance, but rather a driver of innovation and business opportunity. They deliver 4x greater capacity, so organisations can scale their networks for growth and have the bandwidth to support more devices and immersive applications.
With a proven track record and many successful stadium deployments, Extreme’s stadium Wi-Fi access points are purpose-built to work with the unique physical characteristics of stadiums and other large public venues. The series includes options for under-seat and overhead mounting, as well as remote antennae programmability, giving IT teams the ability to fine-tune coverage as needed.
 
Key Features:
        Extreme is the first to leverage machine learning to monitor and learn the behaviour of 802.11ax RF networks. With ExtremeAI™ for Smart OmniEdge, customers can apply artificial intelligence to auto-tune the network for optimum performance and experience, lessening the workload for network engineers and providing a path for autonomous networking at the edge.
        Customers can select from three modes of software-programmable radios to optimise for 5 GHz coverage and more efficiently support all types of devices with better performance, without requiring cable retrofits. An integrated Bluetooth radio enhances guest engagement analytics, granular locationing, and IoT connectivity.
        Built-in WPA3, the latest Wi-Fi security standard, boosts cryptographic strength for 802.11ax networks transmitting sensitive data, providing end users with the peace of mind that their wireless communications are secure.
        Combined with a new ExtremeSwitching™ X465 premium, stackable multi-rate Gigabit Ethernet switch with MACsec and 60/90W PoE, 802.11ax customers can use Extreme Fabric Connectcapabilities to extend network security and management across a unified wired and wireless network. The X465 is available in six different models for connecting a range of edge access devices.
        Optional integration with ExtremeAnalytics™, ExtremeLocation™ and ExtremeGuest™ applications helps customers better manage connections and drill deep into application usage trends to gather critical information needed by the business to engage users, control applications and protect the network. Deployed with Extreme AirDefense®, a wireless intrusion prevention system, customers have a robust solution that not only protects their business data but meets regulatory compliance.
