EXTREME NETWORKS AP305CX-WR draadloos access point - Wi-Fi 6 - dual-band - 2x Gigabit Ethernet - PoE+ - interne antennes - cloud-managed

The EXTREME NETWORKS AP305CX-WR is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless access point designed for enterprise environments. With dual-band operation (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), 2x2:2 MU-MIMO, and aggregate throughput up to 1.77 Gbps, it delivers fast and reliable connectivity for high-density deployments. The AP305CX-WR features two Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support, internal omnidirectional antennas, and is managed via ExtremeCloud IQ for simplified cloud-based administration. It also includes integrated Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 and Zigbee/Thread radios for IoT applications.

Advantages

Wi-Fi 6 technology ensures higher capacity, lower latency, and improved efficiency in congested environments. OFDMA and Target Wake Time (TWT) enhance multi-user performance and battery life for connected devices. The dual-band design provides flexibility for legacy and modern clients, while PoE+ simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate power cables. Cloud management via ExtremeCloud IQ enables centralized monitoring, configuration, and troubleshooting.
