ExtremeWireless™ WiNG 8163
802.11n Outdoor Access Point
WiNG-5-Enabled Rugged Outdoor Mesh Access Point
Product Overview
Rugged Design Delivers Next-Generation High-Performance
Wi-Fi in Demanding Outdoor Environments
Break through your walls and extend your wireless LAN (WLAN) outdoors
with the ExtremeWireless WiNG AP 8163. This rugged access point is
purpose-built inside and out to enable easy extension of robust wireless
connectivity to workers in outdoor spaces. On the outside is a housing
designed to handle virtually any weather conditions. On the inside, three
radios give you the power and flexibility to handle today’s bandwidth-heavy
applications and secure your data — without purchasing and managing an
additional layer of equipment. Each of the two 802.11n radios can support
either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band, providing the flexibility to segment trac
as needed to maximize network and application performance. The third
band-unlocked radio can be used to help increase security and network
uptime as either a dedicated sensor for a Wireless Intrusion Prevention
System (WIPS), enabling around-the-clock rogue detection, or as a Scan
Ahead radio that can find clean channels and eliminate network outages
due to radar interference in the 5 GHz band. And with high-powered radios,
you’ll experience greater capacity and better network performance with
fewer access points, eectively reducing the cost of your wireless LAN.
With the AP 8163, whether your workers are viewing technical schematics,
placing a video call to get on-the-spot assistance with a task, or accessing
an inventory application, you’ll have the bandwidth you need to continually
exceed their performance expectations — with the integrated around-the-
clock monitoring required to keep your network safe.
Innovative Features
Outdoor Rated IP67 Diecast Aluminum
Designed to withstand wind, rain, and
extreme temperatures
Band-Unlocked Tri-Band Design
Increases security without increasing
costs by enabling 24x7 dual-band
Wireless IPS sensing on both 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz, with concurrent 802.11a/b/
g/n client access and mesh
3-Spatial Stream 3X3 MIMO
Delivers maximum throughput to
support virtually any enterprise
application, including voice and HD video
Backhaul Detection
If an AP loses the backhaul connection,
the AP self-forms and self-heals into a
mesh router in the network, eliminating
any disruption in wireless connectivity
Extended Radio Range
The radio range can be increased more
than a mile by chaining the timing of
radio parameters
MeshConnex™ on Both Data Radios
Creating a mesh network on both radios
allows automatic failover for superior
uptime and survivability
Patented Scan Ahead Yechnology
Enables the third radio to constantly
scan ahead for channels that are free
and clear of radar interference. In the
event the 5 GHz data radio is hit by
radar, the channel can then be changed
in milliseconds, eliminating any network
outage due to radar interference
Load Balancing, Preemptive
Roaming, and Rate Scaling
Increases reliability and resilience of the
wireless network to support mission-
critical applications
Advanced WiNG 5 Operating System
The ExtremeWireless WiNG 5 OS
provides the advanced brainpower
required to create the "fully network-
aware" WLAN, allowing every piece of
infrastructure in your wireless network
to work together to route every
transmission as eciently as possible
