Introduction
Altitude™ 4521 Series Access Points are components of Extreme Networks® Wireless
Mobility System. An Altitude 4521 Series Access Point links wireless 802.11a/b/g/n devices
to the Summit® WM3000 Series Controller, enabling the growth of your wireless network
with a cost-effective alternative to standard Access Points. The Altitude 4521 Series Access
Point is an enterprise class 802.11n Access Point, installed in minutes anywhere a CAT-5e
(or better) cable is located. An Altitude 4521 Series Access Point utilizes a setup wizard to
define its operational mode as either a Dependent mode AP, Standalone AP or Virtual
Controller AP.
An Altitude 4521 Series Access Points ship with a single dual-band radio supporting the
802.11a/b/g/n radio bands. For more information on available SKUs, refer to the following:
