Extreme’s AP505i is a high performance, enterprise class 802.11ax access point at the price/performance point that is ideal for many verticals including; retail, education, hospitality, and healthcare. These enterprises need to support a high density of users and IoT devices, while delivering an exceptional user experience.
The AP505i is powered by the WiNG 7 operating system. WiNG’s legendary distributed architecture places the intelligence at the edge where it unleashes the true capabilities and performance of 802.11ax, without bottlenecks and limits. WiNG incorporates the functionality of a controller in each access point, enabling network solutions with controller-less solutions using a virtual controller that supports up to 64 access points or hardware/VM controllers that can support up to 25,000 access points.
Benefits
To support both IoT and Guest Engagement services, the AP505i integrates Bluetooth to connect with IoT devices with Thread wireless or engage loyalty customers with Apple iBeacon. Enterprises can use Google Eddystone 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.
Note: IoT Radio included for certain AP410i/e model SKUs
In conjunction with management system, cloud or on-premises, the AP505i provides a very rich set of data displayed via context driven widgets, representing 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 from widget library.
Network managers will appreciate a powerful choice of RF management for their Wi-Fi networks, with SmartRF, a robust RF management system with AI/ML like functionality. Built on 10 years of experience across thousands of large scale networks and millions of access points, SmartRF algorithms manage channels, radios, load balancing, band steering, and many other attributes of the RF.
The AP505i delivers the highest level of security services, beginning with support for the latest Wi-Fi Alliance WPA3 security certifications. Additionally, supporting a stateful L2-L7 DPI firewall for context-based access security.
Industry's first Dual-radio 802.11ax access point with Smart Sensor capability to optimally manage radios to provide the highest level of client performance while simultaneously providing continuous RF monitoring for security threats.
The AP505i patent pending Smart-Sensor feature automates the provisioning of ADSP Sensors in customer setup without compromising their security performance. This feature intelligently selects and configures the radio on APs that must act as sensors to cover entire site from wireless security perspective reducing the burden of network engineers.
Prior generations of 802.11n, 802.11ac wave 1 and 2, can be considered generational
improvements with an emphasis on faster speed. 802.11ax technology instead enhances
Wi-Fi efficiency as well as speed, taking Wi-Fi networks to an entirely new level. To
