Extreme networks AP305C White Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Software Selectable Radios (SSR) Support for 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz concurrent, or dual 5 GHz operation delivers optimal radio management to provide the highest level of client performance. Optimal RF Management User Experience Adaptive RF management with AI/ML functionality provide intelligent selection of the best channels and transmit power for an optimal user experience. Contextualized Security and Performance Optimization User, device, and application profiling at the edge of the network identifies and fine-tunes network access and performance based on role and privileges, ensuring secure, compliant, and high-performance wireless connectivity. Security The AP305C/CX delivers the highest level of security services, beginning with support for the latest Wi-Fi Alliance WPA3 security certifications. Additionally, the AP305C/CX supports a stateful L2-L7 DPI firewall for context-based access security, Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK) and much more. Wi-Fi 6 Technology Prior generations of 802.11n, 802.11ac wave 1 and 2, can be considered generational improvements with an emphasis on faster speed. 802.11ax technology instead enhances Wi-Fi efficiency as well as speed, taking Wi-Fi networks to an entirely new level. To learn more about 802.11ax, go to: https://www.extremenetworks.com/are-you-ready-for-802-11ax Universal Hardware The AP305C/CX as a universal hardware platform comes with a dual-persona capability allowing user choice of the Wi-Fi operating system (OS). Either the IQ Engine operating system or the WiNG Operating System persona can be enabled as required. The desired persona can be selected at start-up or changed at a later stage. Once selected, the AP305C/ CX assumes the features/capabilities of the selected OS. The AP305C/CX persona activation can be done manually at bootup, including via the system CLI. Or, it can be automated by pre-provisioning the AP305C/CX persona in ExtremeCloud IQ. When first booted, the AP305C/CX automatically connects to ExtremeCloud IQ to find its persona. The pre-provisioned OS persona is then remotely enabled on the AP305C/CX system, eliminating the need for manual selection. Management Analytics In conjunction with Extreme Management system, cloud or on-premises, the AP305C/CX provides a very rich set of data displayed via context driven widgets, representing historical data or a combination of historical and current data. This provides context-specific granularity with perspective views for locations, network, APs, individual client devices, as well as policy roles. In each context, administrators can adjust dashboards make a widget library. Programmable Radios Extreme launched the industry's first software defined 802.11ax access point supporting not only a dual 5 GHz capability, but also two software programmable modes to optimally manage radios to provide the highest level of client performance. The AP305C/CX intelligent monitoring of the software- configurable radios enables network managers to configure network RF technology based on user environment and configure the access points in different modes as required. Integrated BLE and USB Port To support both IoT and Guest Engagement services the AP305C/CX integrates Bluetooth to connect with IoT devices wireless to engage loyalty customers with Apple iBeacon. Enterprises can use API driven applications to send advertisements directly to shoppers, guests, and conference attendees. This makes it ideal for businesses to advertise their app download pages, captive portals, or site-specific information.
