Extreme Networks AP3000X-WW
Wi-Fi 6E Dual-Radio Indoor Access Point with External Antennas — Harsh Environment

Features:

Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) Technology

Wi-Fi 6 ushered in a new generation of Wi-Fi. While prior generations emphasised higher speeds, 802.11ax technology focused on improving Wi-Fi efficiency as well as speed, taking Wi-Fi networks to an entirely new level. With the addition of the 6 GHz band for unlicensed operation, Wi-Fi 6E has access to up to 1,200 MHz of spectrum (country dependent), which is three times that of existing usable spectrum. This enables improved quality of service (QoS) in dense environments, new applications and use cases, and an improved user experience.

Designed for Harsh Environments

The AP3000X-WW features external antennas and an extended operating temperature range of -20°C to +55°C, making it suitable for demanding deployments such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities, outdoor-adjacent areas, and other environments where standard access points may be insufficient. A Cellular Coexistence Filter (CCF) minimises the impact of interference from cellular networks.

Network Management Flexibility

The AP3000X-WW can be flexibly managed by Extreme Platform ONE or ExtremeCloud IQ from the cloud or on premises. Extreme Platform ONE is an enterprise connectivity platform that integrates networking and security with AI into one powerful and radically simplified experience and licensing model. It supports NetOps, SecOps, and business teams with built-in automation, AI-driven workflows for configuration, deployment, and management, and inventory management that simplifies budgeting, planning, and compliance.

Dual-Radio Programmable AP

Extreme launched the industry's first software-defined Wi-Fi 6E access point supporting multiple software programmable modes to optimally manage radios and provide the highest level of client performance. The AP3000X-WW is a dual-radio access point that can transmit with two data radios: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, or 5 GHz and 6 GHz.

Universal Hardware

The AP3000X-WW is built with Extreme's Universal Hardware technology, allowing multiple deployment use cases through a simple change of the software or feature set. Users can choose between operating systems tailored for cloud- or controller-based management. The desired persona can be selected at startup or changed later, increasing flexibility and reducing obsolescence without requiring a rip-and-replace approach.

Security

The AP3000X-WW delivers the highest level of security services, beginning with support for the latest Wi-Fi Alliance WPA3 security certifications. It acts as an enforcement point for ExtremeCloud Universal ZTNA — the industry's most complete network access security solution — providing automated security policy enforcement and SSID management. Extreme Fabric adds additional security by automating provisioning and deployment via a Fabric-enabled switch. The AP3000X-WW also supports a stateful L2–L7 DPI firewall, Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK), and location analytics.

Management Analytics

In conjunction with Extreme centralised management software (cloud or on-premises), the AP3000X-WW provides a rich set of data displayed via widgets, representing unlimited 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, and policy roles.

Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy

To support both IoT and Guest Engagement services, the AP3000X-WW integrates Bluetooth® 5.2 Low Energy to connect with IoT devices and engage loyalty customers with Apple iBeacon. Enterprises can use API-driven applications to send advertisements directly to shoppers, guests, and conference attendees — ideal for advertising app download pages, captive portals, or site-specific information.
