ExtremeWireless WING NX 5500 Integrated Services Platform

Delivering next-generation wireless services for small to midsize enterprises, the ExtremeWireless WING NX 5500 Integrated Services Platform combines high-performance routing, comprehensive security, and centralized management into a single, cost-effective solution. It supports up to 512 access points and eliminates traditional network bottlenecks with its distributed intelligence architecture.

Key Characteristics

• Plug-and-Play Deployment: Zero-touch installation and automated AP adoption simplify setup.
• Smart Routing Architecture: Decentralized traffic routing reduces latency and congestion.
• Integrated Security Suite: Includes firewall, WIPS, VPN, AAA/RADIUS, and captive portal.
• Smart RF Management: Dynamically adapts to RF interference and environmental changes.
• BYOD Support: Role-based policies and device fingerprinting for secure user device management.

Core Technology

The platform is powered by the WING 5 OS, which enables a fully network-aware WLAN environment. It uses advanced RF management protocols, IPSec VPN encryption, and role-based access control to deliver secure, high-throughput wireless performance.

Working Principle

The NX 5500 operates as a distributed services platform where each network element—access points, switches, and controllers—works collaboratively to route traffic efficiently. Unlike traditional centralized controllers, the NX 5500 uses intelligent routing algorithms to direct data along the most efficient path, minimizing latency and maximizing throughput.

Application Scenarios

Ideal for mid-sized enterprises, campuses, hospitals, and retail environments requiring scalable and secure wireless networks. Supports high-density client deployments, guest access, and remote site VPN connectivity.
