Performance-Optimized Indoor 802.11ac Wave 2 Dual-Radio Dual 5 GHz 4x4:4 MIMO Access Point for High Capacity EnvironmentsAP550 is engineered for high performance in demanding environments, with aggregate data rates up to 3.46Gbps. AP550 features software defined radios that allow IT managers to enable 802.11ac 5 GHz performance on both radios. AP550 extends support to the next-generation Wi-Fi clients, such as smartphones, tablets, and high-performance laptops that have integrated 802.11ac Wave 2 support.
The AP550 benefits from an AI-driven Wi-Fi architecture capable of self-organizing, self-healing, and self-optimizing connectivity in the most challenging environments, helping eliminate single points of failure and data bottlenecks. Underlying the AP550 is a powerful operating system driving a stateful L2-L7 DPI firewall for context-based access security, advanced and customizable QoS for traffic optimization, intelligent meshing algorithms, Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK) security, and much more. In addition, the integrated BLE radio and a USB interface in the access point opens up a multitude of deployment use-cases in IoT and proximity/location-oriented services.
Programable RadiosSoftware-defined dual 5 GHz radios monitor and automatically adjust Wi-Fi performance to achieve the highest levels of client performance and network optimization in challenging and demanding environments. Further fine tune network health with a granular, customizable QoS engine that adjusts performance based on user, device, and application privileges.
Resilient AccessDistributed control Wi-Fi architecture delivers self-organizing, self-healing, and self-optimizing connectivity in the most challenging environments, eliminating single points of failure and bottlenecks, delivering bulletproof stability and unbridled performance, and offering unparalleled scale.
Advanced SecurityThis access point delivers the highest level of security services, including a fully stateful L2-L7 DPI firewall for context-based access security, Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK) authentication, on-board RADIUS services, WIPS, VPN tunnelling, and much more.
Management AnalyticsIn conjunction with Extreme's management system, this access point provides a rich set of data displayed via context driven widgets, detailing historical data and real-time analytics. This provides context-specific granularity with perspective views for locations, network, network devices, individual client devices, as well as policy roles. In each context, administrators can adjust dashboards from the widget library.
Automated DeploymentsPowered by cloud networking, this access point can easily be deployed alongside thousands of others in no time at all. Extreme's management system provides granular templates and auto provisioning to enable centralized enterprise plug-and-play rollouts.
RF MonitoringAdaptive RF algorithms provide intelligent selection of the best channels and transmit power for unimpaired network access. Load balancing, band steering and many other attributes of the RF can all be automated. In addition, administrators can view network health through Extreme's management system.
