 Extreme Networks is adding a new family of purpose-built 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) Access Points (APs) for Stadiums to its Smart OmniEdge™ portfolio, that support more users and IoT devices with greater performance and efficiency.
Key Benefits Include:
Stadium Optimized - As the Official Wi-Fi Solutions Provider of the NFL, Extreme understands first-hand the unique challenges stadiums present. The AP560 Series builds on that experience, by delivering a customdesigned family of access points that cater specifically to this environment. The unique, modular patent-pending design of our 802.11ax APs supports a high-density of users and devices, while delivering an exceptional user experience.
Flexible Deployment Options - Extreme's experience has taught us there is no one-size-fits-all solution for stadiums. From the field, to bowl seating, to gate entrances, to concierge areas, to parking lots, each area has its own requirements.
Modular Design - The AP560 series delivers flexible deployment options-from under-seat-mounted, to pole-mounted, to APs with software selectable antennas-they ensure an exceptional mobile experience throughout the entire stadium.
Future-Proofed - Extreme AP560 APs increase device capacity and improve spectral efficiency, allowing stadiums to extract more out of the Wi-Fi spectrum and future-proof their network and investment.
Powered by WiNG7
Extreme's AP560 Series is managed by the Smart OmniEdge solution and powered by the WiNG7 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 or 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 distributed solutions, comprised of branch sites with up to 256 access points per site. The solution can scale to 25,000 access points, and are managed with a simple cloud UI and workflow with ExtremeCloud or ExtremeCloud Appliance for campus and private cloud networks.
Extreme Software Configurable Radio
The industry's first 802.11ax access point, with three software programmable modes, optimally manages the dual 5GHz radios for the most dense environments. The AP560, managed by the Smart OmniEdge solution and powered by the WiNG7 operating system, allows for software configurable radios. Network managers can determine software network topology based on user environment, and configure the access points in different modes of operations:
- Mode 1 - Traditional dual radio 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio
- Mode 2 - 2.4 GHz/5 GHz sensor Radio 1 and 5 GHz on Radio 2
- Mode 3 - Dual 5 GHz radio
Managing the Complexity of RF
Network managers will appreciate a powerful choice of RF management for their 802.11 networks, with SmartRF or ExtremeAI. WiNG's SmartRF is 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's algorithms manage channels, radios, load balancing, band steering, and many other attributes of the RF. |
