Extreme Networks AP5050U Tri Band IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax 10.70 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point Outdoor AP5050UWW

Extreme Networks is adding a new family of purpose-built 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6E) Access Points (APs) for stadiums to its Smart portfolio, that support more users and IoT devices with greater performance and efficiency.

The 6 GHz radio will be disabled until the Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) regulations are ratified and certified. 6 GHz AFC ratification and certification varies by region. Initial release of the product will be outdoor deployment only.

Key benefits Include:

Harsh Outdoor & Stadium Optimized: As the Official Wi-Fi Solutions Provider of the National Football League (NFL) and Major League Baseball (MLB), Extreme understands firsthand the unique challenges of stadiums and harsh outdoor highdensity Wi-Fi deployments. The IP67-rated AP5050 Series builds on that experience, by delivering a custom-designed family of access points that cater specifically to these types of challenging environments.

High Performance in High Density Environments: Improve user experience and device performance with 4x4:4 6 GHz, 4x4:4 5 GHz, and 4x4:4 2.4 GHz with OFDMA technology. With the latest Wi-Fi 6E performance and multiple software programmable radio modes, AP5050 series can serve the most dense environments.

Future-Proof with Wi-Fi 6E: With built-in 6 GHz radios, Extreme AP5050 series increases device capacity and improves spectral efficiency, allowing stadiums and high-density environments to extract more out of the WiFi spectrum and future-proof their network and investment. The AP5050 series comes with multipurpose GPS capabilities, allowing it to detect regional location for approved Wi-Fi 6E outdoor use.

Modular Design for Flexible Deployment: Extreme's experience has taught us there is no one-size-fits-all solution for stadiums and complex outdoor environments. From the field to bowl seating, to gate entrances, to concierge areas, to parking lots, temporary medical sites, or outdoor campus locations, each area has its own requirements. The AP5050 series delivers flexible deployment options-from under seat mounted, to pole-mounted, to APs with software selectable antennas-that ensure an exceptional mobile experience throughout the entire stadium or deployment environment.

The AP5050U and AP5050D are an Enterprise Universal and World SKU Wi-Fi 6E Wireless access point. This innovation simplifies the sales ordering process and reinforces Extreme's commitment to the journey to the "Infinite Enterprise." The World SKU allows customers, partners, and distributors to order one model for any region, replacing the age-old problem of country specific models. ExtremeCloud IQ geo-locates the access point and accurately provides it the corresponding set of channel and power specifications that the product can operate under in that country.

The AP5050U and AP5050D Wi-Fi 6E access points, with three 4x4:4 radios, provide high-efficiency, high-performance 802.11ax aggregate data rates up to 10 Gbps in the 6 GHz, 5 GHz, and 2.4 GHz band. Designed for high density environments, such as event venues, schools, transportation facilities, healthcare facilities, and stadiums, the AP5050U and AP5050D are powerful and intelligent enough to provide the highest level of client services without compromising security. Despite powerful capabilities, the AP5050U and AP5050D can operate with fully functional Wi-Fi capabilities using 802.3at PoE, simplifying power capacity planning.
