AP-7562 Access Point Overview

Designed for extending network coverage to outside areas, the AP-7562 brings the latest
802.11ac 3x3:3 Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) dual radio design together with
rugged outdoor performance. The AP-7562 is a 3x3:3 802.11ac Access Point utilizing one 2.4
GHz 802.11n radio and one 5 GHz 802.11ac radio. The AP-7562 is optimized with WiNG
intelligence, extending QoS, security, and mobility services to the Access Point to support
better capacity and performance.
Deployments can be managed using WiNG architecture. WiNG architecture leverages the
best aspects of independent and dependent architectures to create a smart network that
meets the connectivity, quality, and security needs of each user and their applications
based on the availability of network resources, including wired networks.
Once adopted by a WLAN or Integrated Services Controller running WiNG firmware, the
AP-7562 is managed as an Adaptive AP, running the WiNG network management protocol.
WiNG networks extend the current differentiation that Adaptive APs offered to the next
level by now having the services and security available at every point in the network. The
traffic flow is optimized to prevent wired congestion. Traffic flows dynamically, based on
user and application, and finds alternate routes to work around any possible network choke
points. Mixed-media application optimization is the hallmark of WiNG 5 networks.
Updated versions of this guide could be periodically released to the Support site as new
product functionality is introduced. For more information, see
