Extreme Networks Mounting Bracket for Wireless Access Point

Designed for professional networking deployments, the Extreme Networks Mounting Bracket for Wireless Access Point redefines flexibility and reliability in outdoor environments. This rugged Unistrut mounting system securely suspends a wireless access point (AP) while delivering precise control over orientation and reach. With a generous 7 to 10 inch extension and a two-axis tilt that provides +/- 80 degrees of adjustment in 10-degree increments, you can dial in the exact performance and coverage you need without compromising stability. Built to withstand demanding outdoor conditions, this mounting bracket remains robust against wind, rain, and temperature swings, ensuring strong, consistent connectivity for enterprise campuses, industrial sites, or outdoor facilities. Whether deploying a high-density AP along a perimeter or mounting a compact unit on a utility rack, this bracket simplifies installation, offers lasting durability, and helps you optimize wireless coverage with ease.

• Versatile tilt and swivel for precise AP orientation: The two-axis tilt system offers +/- 80 degrees of adjustment, with fine 10-degree increments. This enables you to optimize antenna alignment, signal paths, and coverage patterns for every environment, from open outdoor spaces to tight indoor corridors adjacent to exterior walls. The secure locking mechanism ensures the chosen orientation stays fixed once set, even under windy conditions.
• Extendable arm (7 to 10 inches) for flexible placement: The adjustable extension empowers you to position the access point away from the mounting surface to improve line-of-sight, reduce interference, and simplify cable management. The variable length supports a range of AP form factors and mounting heights, increasing compatibility across deployments without compromising stability.
• Rugged, weather-ready construction for outdoor deployments: Built for outdoor use, the mounting bracket is designed to withstand harsh weather, temperature fluctuations, and UV exposure. Its robust design protects against corrosion and physical strain, helping to maintain reliable performance across seasons and challenging sites—from campus outdoor environments to industrial facilities along perimeter fencing.
• Secure, vibration-free performance for reliable connectivity: Once the AP is attached, the bracket locks the device firmly in place. The combination of a sturdy frame, precise tilt stops, and reliable fasteners minimizes vibration and movement that could degrade antenna alignment, ensuring consistent signal strength and coverage even in windy conditions or dynamic outdoor environments.
• Easy installation on standard Unistrut framing: This mounting bracket is designed to integrate with common Unistrut channels, enabling straightforward installation on existing structural frames. The familiar mounting approach reduces the need for specialized tools or complex hardware, letting technicians complete deployments quickly while maintaining professional-grade reliability.

How to install Extreme Networks Mounting Bracket for Wireless Access Point

• Plan and prepare the installation location: Identify a suitable Unistrut channel or frame where the AP will have clear line-of-sight and minimal obstruction. Confirm environmental conditions and anticipated wind loads to ensure the chosen location remains stable.
• Attach the bracket to the Unistrut frame: Secure the mounting bracket to the Unistrut channel using the appropriate hardware. Ensure the bracket is level and firmly fastened to prevent movement during operation or wind exposure.
• Mount the wireless access point onto the bracket: Attach the AP to the bracket’s mounting surface according to product-specific guidelines and the AP’s mounting pattern. Use the included fasteners or manufacturer-recommended hardware to ensure a secure fit.
• Configure tilt and extension: Adjust the arm extension to 7–10 inches and set the tilt to the desired orientation. Use the 10-degree increment stops to dial in +/- 80 degrees of tilt, aiming for optimal coverage and minimal interference.
• Secure, test, and verify: Tighten all fasteners, check for stability, and verify that the AP maintains its orientation under expected wind loads. Perform a quick connectivity check to confirm signal strength and coverage meet design requirements.
