Wireless access point Extreme Networks AP305C White PoE, 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax, 10/100/1000 Mbps, MU-MIMO, ceiling/wall, internal antenna

The Extreme Networks AP305C White is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) wireless access point designed for ceiling or wall mounting. It supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax (Wi‑Fi 6) standards with concurrent operation on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios and delivers combined data rates up to 2.4 Gbps. The unit includes internal antennas, MU‑MIMO support and provides enterprise‑grade wireless connectivity for high‑density environments.

Advantages

Advanced System on a Chip (SoC) radio technology enables high Wi‑Fi 6 data rates and efficient concurrent dual‑band operation. Software Selectable Radios (SSR) allow flexible radio configurations — either dual‑band (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz) or dual 5 GHz — to optimize client performance. Adaptive RF management with AI/ML‑driven channel and transmit‑power selection improves reliability and spectrum utilization. Edge profiling of users, devices and applications provides contextualized security and performance tuning to maintain compliant and high‑performance wireless access.

Suitable for

• Enterprise office environments with medium to high client density
• Classrooms and lecture halls requiring reliable concurrent connections
• Conference rooms and meeting spaces with heavy wireless usage
• Retail and public areas needing centrally managed secure Wi‑Fi

How to use

Mount the AP305C on a ceiling or wall following installation guidelines and connect it to PoE‑enabled switch or PoE injector to power the device and provide network connectivity. Use the network management platform or local interface to configure SSIDs, security settings, radio mode (concurrent 2.4/5 GHz or dual 5 GHz), and any RF management policies. Place the access point to provide unobstructed coverage for target areas and ensure adequate spacing from other radios to reduce interference.

Usage recommendations

For best performance in high‑density deployments enable MU‑MIMO and AI/ML adaptive RF management, choose SSR mode suitable for your environment (dual 5 GHz for very dense client loads), and keep firmware and management controller software up to date to benefit from security and performance optimizations.
