Powered by WiNG7
Extreme’s AP560 Series is 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, 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 dierent
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.
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.
ExtremeCloud and
ExtremeCloud Appliance
Network managers have a choice of cloud or
premise-based solutions, both using the same UI and
workflows. ExtremeCloud is a hosted cloud service, while
ExtremeCloud Appliance is designed for premise-based
solutions of campus and private cloud. Both support
secure zero-touch provisioning that significantly reduces
deployment time connectivity via a single pane of glass
for unified management of Extreme wired and wireless
components in your network.
See the ExtremeCloud and ExtremeCloud Appliance data
sheets for details and ordering part numbers.
802.11ax Technology
Whereas prior generations of 802.11n, 802.11ac Wave 1
and Wave 2, can be considered generational improvements,
each building on the prior standard, the new PHY
technology of 802.11ax adds a significant level of new
technology which takes Wi-Fi networks to an entirely
new level.
