Fully Functional Wi-Fi with 802.3at
*Extreme Platform ONETM - General Availability in H2 2025
The AP5010 is an Enterprise Universal and World SKU Wi-Fi 6E Wireless access point, enabling flexible deployment for on-premises or cloud, and simplified sales ordering process. The World SKU allows customers, partners, and distributors to order one model for any region, replacing the age-old problem of country specific models. ExtremeCloud IQ geo-locates the access point and accurately provides it the corresponding set of channel and power specifications that the product can operate under in that country.
The AP5010 Wi-Fi 6E access point, with three 4x4:4 radios, provides high-efficiency, high-performance 802.11ax aggregate data rates up to 10 Gbps in the 6 GHz, 5 GHz, and 2.4 GHz band. Designed for high density environments, such as schools, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and stadiums, the AP5010 is powerful and intelligent enough to provide the highest level of client services without compromising security. Despite powerful capabilities, the AP5010 can operate with fully-functional Wi-Fi capabilities using 802.3at PoE, simplifying power capacity planning.
With more users, more devices, more applications, and more threats straining the infrastructure, the AP5010 was engineered to meet those challenges. The AP5010 combines powerful 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E technology, advanced security, and ML/AI management capabilities together as an enterprise-class solution that allows you to deploy high speed, highly secure Wi-Fi into high-density environments.
Unlike other access points that scan only part-time, the AP5010 features a dedicated tri-frequency sensor that monitors for rogue devices full time, eliminating the risk of vulnerability and attacks. This tri-radio AP is capable of multiple operating modes, optimizing for maximum performance without trading off security. The AP5010 features a fully functional multi-band filter, enabling simultaneous operations with no performance degradation between all the 5 GHz frequencies and the entire range of 6 GHz frequencies (U-NII-5 thru U-NII-8 bands).*

Benefits
The AP5010 can be managed by Extreme Platform ONE or ExtremeCloud IQ from the cloud or on premises.
Extreme Platform ONETM 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
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.
| Band | Number of 20 MHz Channels | Max Channel Size | Max throughput |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 GHz | 59 | 160 MHz | 4.8 Gbps |
| 5 GHz | 25 | 160 MHz | 4.8 Gbps |
| 2.4 GHz | 3 | 20 MHz | 572 Mbps |
| Total | 87 | 10 Gbps |
For US regulatory environments (20 MHz channels)
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

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.
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.

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.
The AP5010 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 AP5010 allows customers, partners, and distributors to order one model for any region where Extreme Networks products are sold, replacing the age-old problem of countryspecific models.
The AP5010 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 AP5010. 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.
