This press release is an abridged translation of the press release announced in Morrisville, North Carolina, USA on May 5, 2026 (local time). Please refer to the original here.
Extreme Networks (Headquarters: Morrisville, North Carolina, USA, Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced multiple new Wi-Fi 7 solutions that provide high-speed and secure connectivity for critical use cases such as real-time AI workloads, AR/VR experiences, smart manufacturing, telemedicine, and high-density venues. Organizations worldwide, including Baylor University, Henry Ford Health, Six Flags, Birmingham University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and many NFL teams, are already leveraging Extreme's Wi-Fi 7 solutions to achieve high-density connectivity, real-time applications, and next-generation digital experiences.
Extreme offers the industry's most comprehensive and deployable Wi-Fi 7 portfolio. With access points (APs) that combine optimized performance and practical efficiency, they cater to a wide range of deployments, from demanding environments like hospitals and stadiums to cost-sensitive ones such as schools, retail, and hospitality. Easily managed with Extreme Platform ONE™, they deliver secure and stable connectivity without the power consumption trade-offs often associated with competing solutions. Supporting both low-power and standard-power 6 GHz, they allow users to enjoy Wi-Fi 7 performance enhancements without upgrading switches or power supplies, and comply with international regulations by default.
The AP5060 Series (outdoor) and AP5022 Series (indoor) feature three 4x4 radios, dedicated tri-band security sensors, and integrated IoT radios, providing premium performance to meet increasing device demands.
The AP5060 is designed for harsh environments, combining a robust enclosure with durability and fault tolerance, providing long-term stable connectivity even under demanding conditions in hospitals, industrial facilities, and stadiums.
Both series support flexible tri-band operation with standard PoE+ (802.3at), allowing for wide deployment while selecting the optimal balance of wireless performance, scanning, and features for each environment.
The AP3020 Series (indoor) and AP3060 weather-resistant outdoor series offer full-featured Wi-Fi 7 at a competitive cost, optimized for space and power-constrained environments such as schools, retail, and hospitality, with a 2x2 radio design.
The AP3020W combines aesthetics and functionality with a slim wall-plate design, ideal for hospitality, education, and multi-dwelling unit environments.
The AP3020X supports external antennas, allowing for more flexible designs in environments where directional Wi-Fi is effective, such as high-density venues.
The AP3060 features a compact IP67-compliant design with a wide operating temperature range, engineered to withstand harsh conditions from strong winds to freezing temperatures.
Comment from Siân Morgan, Research Director, Dell'Oro Group:
"With the expansion of IoT and real-time AI workloads, Wi-Fi 7 adoption is accelerating. Extreme's cloud-managed Wi-Fi 7 solutions combine high-performance hardware with intelligent management, preparing networks for the next stage while simplifying operations."
Comment from David Coleman, Wireless Director, CTO Office, Extreme Networks:
"As mobility, real-time applications, and device density continue to increase, and the era of 6 GHz connectivity further advances, customers need more stable and faster Wi-Fi than ever before. These Wi-Fi 7 solutions meet customer demands with superior performance, improved power efficiency, and simplified large-scale deployment and operation for modern AI-driven environments."
