Wi-Fi 6E Enhanced Capacity
By utilizing the additional 6 GHz spectrum oered by Wi-Fi 6E, the AP4000 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 Maximum Channel Size Maximum throughput
6 GHz 59 160 MHz 2.4 Gbps
5 GHz 25 80 MHz 1.2 Gbps
2.4 GHz 3 20 MHz 287 Mbps
Total 87 3.9
*For US regulatory environments (20 MHz channels)
Security
The AP4000 delivers the highest level of security services,
beginning with support for the latest Wi-Fi Alliance WPA3 security
certifications. Additionally, supporting a stateful L2-L7 DPI firewall
for context-based access security, tri-frequency security and
location analytics sensor, Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK) and
much more.
Universal Hardware
The AP4000 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 AP4000 assumes the features/capabilities of
the selected OS. When first booted, the AP4000 automatically
connects to ExtremeCloud™ IQ to find its persona. The pre-
provisioned OS persona is then remotely enabled on the AP4000
system, eliminating the need for manual selection.
Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy
and USB Port
To support both IoT and Guest Engagement services the AP4000
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.
Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) Technology
Wi-Fi 6 ushered a new generation of Wi-Fi, with prior generations
emphasized on higher speeds, 802.11ax technology instead focused
on improving Wi-Fi eciency as well as speed, taking Wi-Fi
networks to an entirely new level. Now, with addition of the 6GHz
band for unlicensed operation, Wi-Fi 6E has access to up to 1200
MHz of spectrum*, which is three times that of existing 'usable'
spectrum which enables improved quality of service in dense
environments, new applications and use cases, and an improved
user experience. To learn more about 802.11ax and Wi-Fi 6E, visit

Management Analytics
In conjunction with Extreme centralized management software,
cloud or on-premises, the AP4000 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, as well as policy
roles. In each context, administrators can adjust dashboards make a
widget library.
Tri-Radio Programmable AP
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 AP4000 is a tri-radio AP can transmit with three
data radios or with two data radios and a dedicated tri-frequency
sensor. The AP4000 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 dierent modes as required.
