Extreme Networks, Inc., today introduced a number of new solutions designed to challenge the status quo of networking. The AP3000 is the industry's smallest, most power-efficient Wi-Fi 6E access point (AP) and is designed to meet the needs of budget-conscious customers who want enterprise-grade performance in a small package. Extreme also extended its Universal Switch series with the introduction of the 7520 and 7720 switches, custom-built for enterprise core and aggregation use cases, and 8820 switches, high-density, deep buffer, switch routers designed for large enterprise networks. Extreme's Universal Platforms enable users to select their OS and change it as necessary, extending the life of the hardware and eliminating network upgrade costs.

"With more IoT and student devices connecting to the network each day and an ever-increasing need to invest in innovative software applications to boost curriculums and learning, Wi-Fi 6E will be a game-changer for the way we leverage our network to drive better experiences across campus. What makes the AP3000 so appealing is its small form factor, low power consumption and ability to perform in challenging conditions like auditoriums with high ceilings and small offices or classrooms in tight corners. Students and faculty connected to our new Wi-Fi 6E network will see a major difference in how quickly they can access online resources like videos, without any buffer time or interruptions to their school day," said Matthew Dumond, IT Director, Prospect Mountain School District.
