Extreme’s new Wi-Fi 6

06 March 2019

Extreme Networks has announced six new high-performance 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) indoor, outdoor and stadium Wi-Fi access points and a range of multi-rate Gigabit switches.

Extreme’s new solution provides connectivity in dense and challenging environments and a best-in-class edge CX, while delivering 4x greater capacity.

This ultimately enables organisations to support an ever-increasing number of devices and applications, and scale networks for future growth. 

By tapping into the power of AI and machine learning, customers can better understand the behaviour of 802.11ax RF networks.

This ultimately enables them to optimise performance and the overall experience, while simultaneously minimising the workload for engineers and also automating networking at the edge.

The product is also equipped with built-in WPA3, which offers enhanced security for networks transmitting sensitive data, thereby assuring users that their wireless communications are secure.

Extreme also say the three modes of software-programmable radios enhance user engagement analytics, granular locationing, and IoT connectivity.

This ultimately supports a variety of devices and delivers optimal performance, without cable retrofits. www.extremenetworks.com
