NX-5500-ADP-16: 16x AP License Pack for ExtremeWireless™ WING NX 5500
The NX-5500-ADP-16 is a scalable license pack that expands the capacity of your ExtremeWireless WING NX 5500 Integrated Services Platform by adding support for 16 additional Access Points (APs). This WiNG 5-based solution is engineered for growing mid-sized enterprises that require flexible, cost-effective network expansion without additional hardware.
Key Characteristics
- Extends the NX 5500 platform by 16 managed Access Points
- Seamlessly integrates with the existing WiNG 5 operating system
- Enables zero-touch provisioning and adoption of new APs
- Maintains centralized management through the single pane of glass
- Unlokes advanced features like Smart RF and Role-Based Policy for new APs
Core Technology & Protocol Support
This license key activates capacity within the advanced WiNG 5 OS, which utilizes a distributed architecture. It supports modern protocols including 802.11ac Wave 2, CAPWAP for AP management, IPSec for VPN tunnels, and RADIUS for secure authentication, ensuring all newly added APs are fully integrated into the secure, intelligent network.
Deployment & Operational Principle
Once applied to the NX 5500 Integrated Services Platform, the license increments the system's AP count. New APs connected to the network are automatically discovered by the WiNG 5 OS. The controller then pushes the necessary configuration, enabling features like Smart Routing and Smart RF from the moment they come online, ensuring consistent policy enforcement across the entire network.
Primary Applications
Ideal for branch office expansions, adding coverage in new warehouses or floors, deploying high-density APs in conference areas, or supporting new IoT and BYOD initiatives within mid-sized enterprise, education, healthcare, and retail environments.
