Extreme Wireless™ AP305CX-WR Indoor Wi-Fi 6 Access Point

The Extreme AP305CX-WR is a high-performance, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) indoor Access Point designed for enterprises seeking reliable, scalable, and secure wireless connectivity. Supporting cloud and on-premises management options, this Access Point delivers advanced features including WPA3 security, cellular coexistence filtering, and flexible radio modes—all operable with standard 802.3af PoE.

1. Product Overview

The AP305CX-WR is part of Extreme's Universal Wi-Fi platform, offering dual-persona support for either ExtremeCloud IQ or WiNG OS. It features two 2x2:2 radios capable of simultaneous dual 5 GHz operation, integrated BLE for IoT connectivity, and external antennas for flexible deployment. Ideal for high-density environments, this Wireless solution balances performance, security, and total cost of ownership.

2. Key Characteristics

• Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with 2x2:2 MU-MIMO in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands
• Software-selectable radio (SSR) supports Fixed or Dual 5 GHz modes
• WPA3 security and stateful L2-L7 firewall
• Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for IoT and location services
• Universal hardware supports cloud (ExtremeCloud IQ) or on-premises management
• Operates with standard 802.3af PoE
• Cellular Coexistence Filter (CCF) reduces interference from cellular networks

3. Core Technologies

The Access Point leverages 802.11ax standards including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, 1024-QAM, and Target Wake Time (TWT) for improved efficiency and capacity. It supports backward compatibility with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac networks. Integrated BLE enables proximity-based services and IoT device connectivity.

4. Working Principle

Upon power-up, the AP305CX-WR automatically connects to ExtremeCloud IQ for persona assignment. The device loads either the cloud-based IQ Engine or on-premises WiNG OS. Its programmable radios dynamically adjust between 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or dual 5 GHz modes based on network configuration and environmental conditions.

5. Applications

This enterprise-grade Wireless Access Point is suited for:

• Enterprise offices and campuses
• Educational institutions
• Healthcare facilities
• Retail and hospitality venues
• High-density public venues
