Extreme Networks, Inc. introduced two new solutions designed to help highly distributed enterprise organizations create improved network connectivity, security and application performance. The AP5020 is a new Wi-Fi 7 Universal access point (AP) that operates on the 6 GHz spectrum and is designed to support high-bandwidth, latency-sensitive applications and IoT devices - creating a more effective way for enterprises to modernize and manage operations. The 4000 Series cloud-managed switches, the latest addition to Extreme's Universal portfolio, offer faster setup time by eliminating nearly all manual configurations.

Paired with ExtremeCloud?? Universal ZTNA, these offer automated onboarding, configuration and policy enforcement to strengthen security as organizations move to a Zero Trust architecture across their network. Both the AP5020 and 4000 Series switches leverage AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) and machine learning features of the ExtremeCloud IQ cloud management platform to help proactively identify network issues and make recommendations that help reduce IT time to resolution.

Key Facts: The AP5020: A Flexible, Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi 7 Access Point: The AP5020 is built to support bandwidth-intensive, latency-sensitive applications and Internet devices, delivering improved user experiences and operational efficiency even in high-density environments; Built-in dual IoT radios deliver a lower total cost of ownership and remove complexity by supporting multiple IoT use cases simultaneously while elevating performance. The Layer 2 Edge optimized 4120 is available in 24-port and 48-port models with 1/2.5 multi-gigabit and 90W PoE support across all access ports, as well as 200Gb+ uplink capacity, making it an ideal wired and PoE power concentrator for high-density environments. The 4220 is a highly flexible enterprise Layer 2 wired edge solution and is available in 8, 12, 24 and 48-port models with gigabit and multi-gigabit (1/2.5/5Gb) access ports, up to 90W PoE and 4 x SFP+ uplink ports.

Enterprises are more distributed than ever and need the flexibility to add users, devices and applications across their environment without sacrificing time, security or performance. The new solutions further expand the flexibility of portfolio and work in concert with Universal ZTNA solution for a frictionless user experience applied to hybrid work. The AP5020 and 4000 Series switch are eligible under E-Rate, giving U.S. K-12 schools and public libraries access to the next generation of network solutions.
