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 traffic 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, effectively 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-theclock monitoring required to keep your network safe.

Superior Capacity

With three spatial streams, the two radios designed to carry client traffic deliver data rates of up to 450 Mbps per radio. So whether your workers are using latency-sensitive applications such as voice or video, or bandwidth-intensive applications such as HD video, you can be confident your WLAN can handle the traffic — and provide the optimum user experience.

Superior Availability

While the AP 8163 can be adopted by an ExtremeWireless WiNG Controller for remote control and management, it can also function as a stand-alone access point. These features work together to keep workers connected, even if an adopted AP 8163 loses its connection to the wireless controller due to a wired network or T1/E1 line backhaul problem.

Advanced ExtremeWireless WiNG 5 Operating System Delivers Superior Performance

WiNG 5 distributes intelligence and control to every piece of infrastructure in your WLAN — the wireless controllers as well as all access points, including the AP 8163. Now, all AP 8163 access points work in concert with the WLAN infrastructure to determine the fastest and most efficient routing of every transmission, based on factors such as user, location, application, and available wired and wireless resources. And since traffic no longer needs to travel to a central controller, the load on the wired network is dramatically reduced, virtually eliminating the typical bottlenecks and chokepoints in a centralized WLAN.

Gap-Free Security

The AP 8163 secures all your wireless transmissions, ensuring compliance with government and industry regulations, such as PCI in retail and HIPAA in healthcare. Your network is protected every second of every day with comprehensive integrated security features that include layer 2-7 stateful packet filtering firewall, AAA RADIUS services, a VPN gateway, and location-based access control. In addition, one of the radios can serve as a dedicated WIPS sensor for around-the-clock rogue detection, protecting the network edge — without requiring stand-alone hardware and additional power or Ethernet cabling.

Eliminate Radar Interference with Scan Ahead Radio

Since your AP 8163 access points will be installed outdoors, they are vulnerable to interference from certain radar systems. With our patented Scan Ahead technology, one radio can be utilized to scan ahead for a channel that is free of radar signals and automatically change channels if radar interference is detected, protecting network performance.

Reduce WLAN Cost and Complexity with Advanced Mesh Networking

With over 200 patents granted in mesh networking, Extreme Networks is the industry leader in outdoor mesh networks. Our robust mesh networks eliminate the need to install fiber and wires between buildings, on campus grounds, or in business parks and large outdoor areas, reducing the cost and complexity of your WLAN. Our unique routing engine, MeshConnex™, combines with a key mesh enhancement called Opportunistic Radio Link Adaption (ORLA) to ensure the highest possible data rates in challenging outdoor environments — at all times. And with data rates of 450 Mbps at the mesh layer, you get a high-capacity network capable of serving high-bandwidth applications, such as video.

Eliminate RF Interference

Even when the network is fully operational, RF interference and unbalanced wireless network loads can threaten network performance. With SMART RF, your WLAN can automatically and intelligently adapt to these types of dynamic changes in the RF environment. The AP 8163 can sense potential interference from Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi sources — including faulty antennas, dynamic dead spots, and neighboring access point failures — and automatically adjust channels and power as needed to prevent performance degradation and protect latency-sensitive applications, such as VoIP.
