NX 7500 Integrated Services Platform NX-7500-ADP-1024 for access points

The Extreme Networks NX 7500 series represents the next generation of wireless LAN controllers, delivering enterprise-grade performance for midsize to campus environments. The NX-7500-ADP-1024 model specifically supports 1024 access points with its adaptive licensing system, making it ideal for large-scale deployments.

• Distributed Intelligence: WiNG 7 OS enables every network element to make autonomous routing decisions
• Scalable Architecture: Supports up to 2,048 network elements with hierarchical management
• Advanced Security Suite: Integrated WIPS, firewall, VPN gateway, and role-based access control
• High Availability: 1:1 failover support with redundant power options (NX 7530)
• Future-Proof Design: Modular architecture with 10G Ethernet upgrade capability

The NX 7500 platform leverages Extreme's proprietary WiNG 7 operating system, which implements:

• IEEE 802.11 standards with 802.11w management frame protection
• Smart RF technology for dynamic interference mitigation
• Multi-core network processing engine for in-line data processing
• Role-based policy enforcement for comprehensive BYOD support

Unlike traditional hub-and-spoke architectures, the NX 7500 distributes control plane intelligence across all network elements. Each access point and controller collaboratively determines optimal traffic routes while maintaining centralized policy management through a single GUI interface.

Ideal for:

• Large enterprise campus networks
• Distributed organizations with multiple branch locations
• High-density wireless environments requiring 20Gbps throughput
• Security-sensitive deployments needing integrated WIPS and firewall
• BYOD implementations requiring device fingerprinting

• Eliminates Bottlenecks: Distributed intelligence removes centralized controller limitations
• Investment Protection: Modular design allows feature upgrades without hardware replacement
• Simplified Management: Single-pane GUI controls entire WLAN infrastructure
• Enterprise Reliability: Hot-swappable components and redundant configurations available

Extreme Networks offers comprehensive lifecycle support including:

• Standard 1-year hardware warranty
• Optional professional services for deployment optimization
• 24/7 technical support with remote troubleshooting capabilities
• Firmware updates and security patches

Q: What's the difference between NX-7500 models?
A: Primary differences are in power supply configuration (AC/DC) and storage options, with NX-7530 offering RAID-1 protection.

Q: How does the adaptive licensing work?
A: The NX-7500-ADP-1024 license supports 1024 APs/controllers, with smaller increments (8/64/256) available for growth.

Q: What management interfaces are available?
A: The platform offers web GUI, CLI via serial console, and API integration capabilities.

• Operating temperature: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C)
• Requires standard 19" rack mounting
• For 10G operation, requires optional NX-7500-10G-NMC module
• Initial configuration requires wired connection to Ethernet port
