Extreme Networks AP505i-WR Wi-Fi 6 Access Point — High-Density 4x4 MU-MIMO with Integrated Antennas

1. Product Overview

The Extreme Networks AP505i-WR is an enterprise-class indoor Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Access Point engineered for high-density environments. This dual-band AP delivers 4x4:4 MU-MIMO performance in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, featuring integrated antennas and advanced radio management. Ideal for demanding deployments in education, healthcare, and retail sectors, this Access Point provides reliable connectivity for both user devices and IoT ecosystems while supporting the latest WPA3 security standards.

2. Key Characteristics

• Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) compliant with dual 4x4:4 MU-MIMO radios
• Integrated omnidirectional antennas for both frequency bands
• Concurrent support for up to 512 users across both radios
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and IEEE 802.15.4 for IoT connectivity
• Smart Sensor technology for automated RF security monitoring
• Flexible management via ExtremeCloud™ IQ or on-premises controllers
• Power over Ethernet (802.3at) support with full functionality

3. Technology

This Access Point operates on Extreme's WiNG 7 OS, utilizing a distributed architecture that embeds intelligence at the edge. It implements OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and BSS Coloring to enhance spectral efficiency in congested environments. The integrated SmartRF technology employs AI-driven algorithms for automatic channel selection, band steering, and load balancing.

4. Working Principle

The AP505i-WR uses two independent radios to simultaneously serve clients across both frequency bands. Through OFDMA technology, it partitions channels into smaller sub-channels to serve multiple devices concurrently, reducing latency and improving efficiency. The Smart Sensor functionality automatically designates radios for security monitoring without impacting client performance.

5. Applications

This enterprise Access Point is specifically designed for high-density environments including university campuses, hospital networks, retail establishments, hospitality venues, and large office spaces. It efficiently supports mixed deployments of user devices, IoT sensors, and mobile applications requiring seamless roaming and high security.
