Outdoor Access Points

If you need to provide wireless network access in outdoor areas, you not only need an access point built for the outdoors, you also need the power and performance of 802.11ac to handle today’s bandwidth-heavy applications, but cost has been an issue — until now.

Introducing the ExtremeWireless AP 7562 802.11ac outdoor access point fromExtreme Networks, purpose-built to meet the demands of your outdoor spaces. On the outside, the AP 7562 offers a rugged housing built to handle anything from rain, snow, and hurricane-force winds to sub-zero temperatures. On the inside, you get all the power you need to provide high-performance, seamless, reliable, and secure wireless access for even the densest user populations.

The 802.11ac radio provides four times the bandwidth of ‘n’ for blazing-fast speed, regardless of whether users are viewing schematics, placing a video call, or accessing information in a business application. The 802.11n radio ensures backward compatibility with all your existing user devices. The advanced ExtremeWireless WiNG 5 operating system provides the advanced brainpower required to create a “fully network-aware” WLAN, where all the infrastructure in your WLAN works together to determine the most efficient route for every transmission. Self-healing, automatic failover and site survivability ensure superior network uptime — even if the backhaul connection is lost. And if you need sensor capability, the AP 7562 can meet just about any business need — a single AP 7562 can function as both a sensor and an access point for maximum cost-efficiency, or as a dedicated sensor for the most robust sensing functionality.

Break through your walls and extend your wireless LAN (WLAN) outdoors with the Extreme Wireless WiNG AP 8163. This rugged access point is purpose-built inside and out to enable easy extension of robust wireless connectivity to workers in outdoor spaces. On the outside is a housing designed to handle virtually any weather conditions. On the inside, three radios give you the power and flexibility to handle today’s bandwidth-heavy applications and secure your data — without purchasing and managing an additional layer of equipment. Each of the two 802.11n radios can support either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band, providing the flexibility to segment traffic as needed to maximize network and application performance.

The third band-unlocked radio can be used to help increase security and network uptime as either a dedicated sensor for a Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS), enabling around-the-clock rogue detection, or as a Scan Ahead radio that can find clean channels and eliminate network outages due to radar interference in the 5 GHz band. And with high-powered radios, you’ll experience greater capacity and better network performance with fewer access points, effectively reducing the cost of your wireless LAN. With the AP 8163, whether your workers are viewing technical schematics, placing a video call to get on-the-spot assistance with a task, or accessing an inventory application, you’ll have the bandwidth you need to continually exceed their performance expectations — with the integrated around- the-clock monitoring required to keep your network safe.
