AP5022

The AP5022 series 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-powered 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) help 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 AP5022 series features the industry's first software-defined Wi-Fi 7 AP that supports not only dual 5 GHz and dual 6 GHz capabilities, but also an additional software-programmable mode to optimally manage radios to provide the highest level of client performance. The AP5022 is a tri-radio AP that can transmit with multiple combinations of three data radios across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands in addition to a dedicated tri-band sensor.

The AP5022 intelligently monitors the software-configurable 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 AP5022 features superior tri-band radio performance with a multiband filter that reduces interference and enables 5 GHz and 6 GHz operation across all available channels without restrictions.

The AP5022 series 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. It is also hardware ready to support Ultra-wideband (UWB) for cm-level accuracy with indoor location services.

To support both IoT and guest engagement services, the AP5022 integrates Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) to connect with IoT devices wirelessly and to engage customers with Apple iBeacon. Enterprises can use API-driven applications to send ads directly to shoppers, guests, and conference attendees. This makes it ideal for businesses to advertise their app, download pages, deliver captive portals, or share site-specific information.

The AP5022 series 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 controller-based 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 SKUs, the AP5022 series APs allow customers, partners, and distributors to order one model for any region where Extreme Networks products are sold, replacing the problem of country-specific models.

The AP5022 series APs deliver the highest level of security services, beginning with support for the latest Wi-Fi Alliance WPA3 security certifications. It acts as an enforcement point for Extreme Platform ONE Security – the industry's most complete network access security solution. Extreme Platform ONE Security provides automated security policy enforcement and manages SSIDs to enforce policies on the AP5022 APs. Extreme Fabric adds additional security by automating provisioning and deployment by connecting to a Fabric-enabled switch. Additionally, the AP supports a stateful L2-L7 DPI firewall for context-based access security, tri-band security, a location analytics sensor, and much more.

The AP5022 series also includes a unique dedicated security sensor for rich insights and threat detection when paired with AirDefense Essentials, which is part of an Extreme Platform ONE license.
