AP4020

The AP4020 can be flexibly managed by Extreme Platform ONE or ExtremeCloud IQ from the cloud or on premises.

Extreme Platform ONE™ is an enterprise connectivity platform that integrates networking and security with AI into one powerful and radically simplified experience and licensing model. It supports NetOps, SecOps, and business teams with built in automation and enables organizations to regain control, unlock innovation, and boost productivity through:

• One integrated experience that is easy to use.
• Automation through built-in AI that boosts productivity, reducing cycle time for many tasks from hours to minutes.
• Simplified licensing that makes the solution as easy to buy as it is to use.
• AI driven workflows for configuration, deployment, and management.
• Inventory management simplifies budgeting, planning and compliance.

Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) introduces benefits across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands with reduced latency and jitter for time-sensitive networking applications. Wi-Fi 7 capabilities such as 320 MHz channels, 4K-QAM, and Multi-Link Operation (MLO) helps enable superior speeds and high-density performance. The 6 GHz band enables improved quality of service (QoS) in dense environments, new applications and use cases, and an improved user experience.

The AP4020 features two distinct software defined radio (SDR) modes for different deployment scenarios. Dual 5 GHz supports high-density deployments with a dedicated sensor. Featuring quad radios, it can transmit with multiple combinations of three data radios across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands in addition to an always-on dedicated tri-frequency sensor. The AP4020 intelligently monitors the softwareconfigurable radios, enabling network managers to configure network RF technology based on the user environment and to configure the APs in different modes as required. The AP4020 features superior tri-frequency radio performance with a multiband filter that reduces interference and enables 5 GHz and 6 GHz operation across all available channels without restrictions.

The AP4020 features dual IoT radios enabling multiple concurrent IoT use cases and eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure with improved performance and reduced complexity of multiple wireless networks. To support both IoT and guest engagement services, the AP4020 integrates Bluetooth® to connect with IoT devices wirelessly and to engage loyal 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.

The AP4020 is built with Extreme's Universal Hardware technology that allows multiple deployment use cases through a simple change of the software or feature set. This technology allows the user to choose between operating systems tailored to work with cloud- or controllerbased management. The desired persona can be selected at startup or changed later. Universal hardware platforms increase flexibility and reduce obsolescence by allowing customers to gradually adopt new technologies without the need for a rip and replace approach to their hardware.

Offered with a Universal World SKU AP, the AP4020 allows customers, partners, and distributors to order one model for any region where Extreme Networks products are sold, replacing the age-old problem of country-specific models.

The AP4020 delivers the highest level of security services, beginning with support for the latest Wi-Fi Alliance WPA3 security certifications. Also it acts as an enforcement point for ExtremeCloud Universal ZTNA – the industry's most complete network access security solution. Universal ZTNA provides automated security policy enforcement and manages SSIDs to enforce policies on the AP4020. Extreme Fabric adds additional security by automating provisioning and deployment by connecting to a Fabricenabled switch. Additionally, the AP supports a stateful L2-L7 DPI firewall for context-based access security, tri-frequency security, a location analytics sensor, and much more. The AP4020 also includes a unique dedicated security sensor for rich insights and threat detection when paired with Extreme AirDefense.
