Security
The AP305C/CX delivers the highest level of security services,
beginning with support for the latest Wi-Fi Alliance WPA3
security certifications. Additionally, the AP305C/CX supports
a stateful L2-L7 DPI firewall for context-based access security,
Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK) and much more.
Wi-Fi 6 Technology
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
eciency as well as speed, taking Wi-Fi networks to an entirely
new level. To learn more about 802.11ax, go to: https://www.

Universal Hardware
The AP305C/CX as a universal hardware platform comes with
a dual-persona capability allowing user choice of the Wi-Fi
operating system (OS). Either the IQ Engine operating system
or the WiNG Operating System persona can be enabled as
required. The desired persona can be selected at start-up
or changed at a later stage. Once selected, the AP305C/CX
assumes the features/capabilities of the selected OS. When
first booted, the AP305C/CX automatically connects to
ExtremeCloud IQ to find its persona. The pre-provisioned OS
persona is then remotely enabled on the AP305C/CX system,
eliminating the need for manual selection.
Management Analytics
In conjunction with Extreme Management system, cloud or
on-premises, the AP305C/CX 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, as well as policy roles.
In each context, administrators can adjust dashboards make a
widget library.
Programmable Radios
Extreme launched the industry's first software defined 802.11ax
access point supporting not only a dual 5GHz capability, but
also two software programmable modes to optimally manage
radios to provide the highest level of client performance. The
AP305C/CX intelligent monitoring of the software- configurable
radios enables network managers to configure network RF
technology based on user environment and configure the access
points in dierent modes as required.
Integrated BLE and USB Port
To support both IoT and Guest Engagement services the
AP305C/CX integrates Bluetooth to connect with IoT
devices wireless 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.
