Extreme Networks AP5050U-WW
Wi-Fi 6E Tri-Radio IP67-Rated Outdoor Access Point — Internal Omni Antennas

Features:

Harsh Outdoor and Stadium Optimised

As the Official Wi-Fi Solutions Provider of the NFL and MLB, Extreme understands firsthand the unique challenges of stadiums and harsh outdoor high-density Wi-Fi deployments. The IP67-rated AP5050U-WW builds on that experience, delivering a custom-designed access point that caters specifically to these challenging environments. The enclosure withstands sustained winds up to 150 mph (241 km/h) and gusts up to 165 mph (266 km/h).

High Performance in High-Density Environments

The AP5050U-WW delivers 4x4:4 6 GHz, 4x4:4 5 GHz, and 4x4:4 2.4 GHz with OFDMA technology for up to 10.7 Gbps aggregate throughput. With Wi-Fi 6E performance and multiple software programmable radio modes, the AP5050U-WW can serve the densest environments including stadiums, event venues, schools, transportation facilities, and healthcare facilities.

Modular Design for Flexible Deployment

The AP5050U-WW supports under-seat, under-bench, and pole-mounted installations via a range of separately orderable mounting kits. Options include ±15° and ±80° tilt pole brackets, a 12-inch extension arm, and a dedicated underseat/underbench mount (EIO-04) that also allows conduit routing and horizontal AP installation.

Tri-Radio Programmable AP

Extreme launched the industry's first software-defined Wi-Fi 6E access point supporting multiple programmable radio modes. The AP5050U-WW can transmit with all three data radios simultaneously (Mode 1), or operate with two data radios plus a dedicated tri-frequency sensor for full-time rogue device monitoring across 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz (Mode 2). Network managers can configure RF technology based on their environment and switch modes as required.

Future-Proof with Wi-Fi 6E

With built-in 6 GHz radios, the AP5050U-WW increases device capacity and improves spectral efficiency, allowing stadiums and high-density environments to extract more out of the Wi-Fi spectrum and future-proof their network investment. The AP5050U-WW comes with multipurpose GPS capabilities, allowing it to detect regional location for approved Wi-Fi 6E outdoor use via Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC).

Network Management Flexibility

The AP5050U-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 integrating networking and security with AI into one powerful and radically simplified experience. 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.

Security

The AP5050U-WW delivers the highest level of security services, beginning with WPA3 support. It acts as an enforcement point for ExtremeCloud Universal ZTNA, providing automated security policy enforcement and SSID management. Extreme Fabric adds further security by automating provisioning and deployment via a Fabric-enabled switch. The AP5050U-WW also supports a stateful L2–L7 DPI firewall, tri-frequency security, and location analytics.

Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy

Bluetooth® 5.2 Low Energy integration supports IoT devices and guest engagement via Apple iBeacon. Enterprises can use API-driven applications to send advertisements directly to shoppers, guests, and conference attendees — ideal for app download pages, captive portals, or site-specific information.

Universal Hardware

The AP5050U-WW is built with Extreme's Universal Hardware technology, allowing multiple deployment use cases through a simple change of software or feature set. The desired persona (cloud or controller) can be selected at startup or changed later, reducing obsolescence without requiring a rip-and-replace approach to hardware.
