Unmatched Performance
Using the Integrated Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine,
along with the ExtremeWireless Platform*, the AP 8432
tirelessly optimizes the network.
From RF errors to key performance indicators, the AP 8432
collects data to measure, monitor, and secure application
performance. Thanks to its intelligent distributed
architecture—ExtremeWireless WiNG 5—it can proactively
adjust to deliver the fastest, most reliable experience.
Unrivaled Scalability From 1 to Cloud
With a modern, WiNG 5 distributed operating system,
the AP 8432 oers four deployment modes to meet any
requirement: stand-alone AP, virtual controller mode
for creating networks of up to 64 access points, NOC
controllers scaling to 25,000 access points.
Expanded Capabilities with Extreme's Triple
Sensor Technology
