Extreme’s new Wi‑Fi 7 portfolio is built to handle modern, high-demand wireless environments where reliability and speed are critical. The solutions are designed to support:

• Real-time AI workloads – such as analytics and automation that depend on low latency and consistent throughput.
• Immersive AR/VR experiences – for training, simulation, and fan engagement where lag quickly breaks the experience.
• Smart manufacturing and industrial IoT – connecting sensors, machines, and control systems in demanding, often harsh environments.
• Telehealth and clinical workflows – where clinicians need secure, always-on connectivity for patient data, imaging, and remote consultations.
• High-density venues – like stadiums, arenas, and large campuses where tens of thousands of users may be connected at once.

Organizations already using Extreme’s Wi‑Fi 7 solutions include Baylor University, Henry Ford Health, Six Flags, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, and multiple NFL teams. These customers rely on Extreme to power high-density connectivity, real-time applications, and next-generation digital experiences without sacrificing security or manageability.

Extreme’s Wi‑Fi 7 access points are designed to reimagine how organizations deploy and manage high-performance wireless, with a focus on both technical capabilities and practical rollout.

Key differentiators include:

• Deployment-ready, end-to-end portfolio
  Extreme offers what it describes as one of the industry’s most complete, deployment-ready Wi‑Fi 7 portfolios, spanning indoor and outdoor APs for everything from schools and retail to hospitals, industrial facilities, and stadiums.
• Support for both low and standard power 6 GHz
  The APs support low and standard power 6 GHz, so customers can capture 6 GHz performance gains without needing switch or power upgrades. This also helps with built-in compliance for global regulations.
• High-performance radio and security design
  The AP5060 (outdoor) and AP5022 (indoor) series deliver:
  • Three 4x4 radios for premium performance.
  • A dedicated tri-band security sensor for continuous monitoring.
  • Integrated IoT radios to support growing device demands.
• Rugged and weatherized options
  The AP5060 is engineered for harsh environments, with a ruggedized design for long-term reliability in industrial sites, hospitals, and stadiums. The AP3060 is IP67-rated and built to withstand conditions from high winds to sub-zero temperatures.
• Cost-effective, space- and power-conscious models
  The AP3020 (indoor) and AP3060 (outdoor) series provide full-feature Wi‑Fi 7 with 2x2 radio designs, optimized for space- and power-constrained environments like schools, retail, and hospitality. They support flexible tri-band operation on standard PoE (802.3at), helping avoid costly infrastructure changes.
• Form factors for specialized use cases
  • AP3020W: a low-profile wall plate design that balances aesthetics and functionality, ideal for hospitality, education, and multi-dwelling environments.
  • AP3020X: supports external antennas, giving more flexibility for directional Wi‑Fi in high-density venues and complex layouts.
• Cloud-managed with AI-powered automation
  All Wi‑Fi 7 solutions are managed through Extreme’s AI-powered cloud networking platform, helping simplify operations, improve power efficiency, and support large-scale deployments.

Extreme’s Wi‑Fi 7 portfolio is structured so organizations can choose the right AP for each environment while managing everything through a common cloud platform.

Examples by industry:

• Education (K–12 and higher ed)
  • AP3020 series (indoor) for classrooms, labs, and dorms where space and power are limited but demand for high-speed connectivity is growing.
  • AP3020W wall plate APs in residence halls and multi-dwelling student housing, where aesthetics and in-room coverage matter.
  • AP3060 (outdoor) for campus-wide coverage in courtyards, stadiums, and outdoor learning spaces.
• Healthcare and telehealth
  • AP5022 (indoor) in hospitals and clinics to support telehealth, clinical mobility, and connected medical devices with strong performance and integrated security sensing.
  • AP5060 (outdoor) for campus-wide coverage between buildings, emergency areas, and temporary care sites.
• Hospitality and multi-dwelling units
  • AP3020W for guest rooms and apartments, using a low-profile wall plate design that blends into the environment while delivering strong in-room Wi‑Fi.
  • AP3020X with external antennas in challenging layouts or high-density common areas where directional coverage is needed.
  • AP3060 outdoors for pool areas, patios, and event spaces.
• Stadiums, arenas, and theme parks
  • AP5060 (outdoor) and AP3060 to handle high-density crowds, fan engagement apps, AR/VR experiences, and real-time operations in large venues.
  • Directional Wi‑Fi using APs with external antennas (such as the AP3020X) in stands, concourses, and queues.
• Industrial and smart manufacturing
  • AP5060 in harsh environments like factories and industrial yards, where ruggedized, long-term connectivity is required.
  • Integrated IoT radios in the AP5060 and AP5022 to connect sensors, machines, and other industrial devices.

Across all of these scenarios, Extreme’s Wi‑Fi 7 solutions are cloud-managed and AI-driven, helping organizations simplify operations, maintain compliance with 6 GHz regulations, and keep networks ready for the next wave of IoT and real-time applications.
