ExtremeWireless™ AP505i-WR Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Access Point

1. Product Overview

The ExtremeWireless™ AP505i-WR is an enterprise-grade, dual-radio 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) indoor Access Point designed for high-density environments. It features 4x4:4 MU-MIMO radios in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, integrated antennas, and support for the latest WPA3 security standards. Ideal for retail, education, healthcare, and hospitality sectors, this Wireless AP delivers superior performance, reliability, and scalability without requiring a physical controller.

2. Key Characteristics

• Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with 4x4:4 MU-MIMO in both bands
• Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and IEEE 802.15.4 for IoT connectivity
• Smart Sensor technology for continuous RF monitoring and security
• Cellular Coexistence Filter (CCF) to minimize interference
• Operates on standard 802.3at PoE with full functionality
• Cloud or on-premises management via ExtremeCloud™ IQ or Extreme Campus Controller

3. Core Technologies

The AP505i-WR leverages advanced wireless technologies including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, TxBF (Transmit Beamforming), and 1024-QAM modulation. It supports dual-band operation with backward compatibility to 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards. The integrated SmartRF with AI/ML capabilities optimizes channel selection, load balancing, and band steering.

4. Working Principle

The Access Point uses distributed intelligence via the WiNG 7 OS, placing control at the edge to reduce latency and avoid bottlenecks. It employs dual-radio sensors to monitor RF environments in real-time, automatically adjusting settings to maintain optimal performance and security. The AP supports both controller-based and controller-less modes, scaling up to 25,000 APs under a single management system.

5. Applications

This Wireless Access Point is suited for:

• High-density venues: stadiums, conference centers, universities
• Healthcare: real-time patient monitoring, secure guest access
• Retail: IoT beaconing, customer engagement, point-of-sale connectivity
• Hospitality: seamless guest Wi-Fi, IoT device integration
