Extreme Networks Inc. announced a full-stack vision for artificial intelligence-driven networking at its Extreme Connect 2026 user conference, featuring new Wi-Fi 7 access points, enhanced fabric-ready switching, and a second-generation AI layer called Agent ONE. The announcements position Extreme well in the race to bring agentic AI to production networks.
Extreme Networks Inc. used its Extreme Connect 2026 user conference to make a strong case that artificial intelligence-driven networking has finally arrived. The company rolled out a full-stack vision spanning new Wi-Fi 7 access points, enhanced fabric-ready switching, and a second-generation artificial intelligence layer called Agent ONE. Agent ONE is designed to act less like a chatbot and more like an operational co-worker for NetOps teams. Extreme's Platform ONE is now the anchoring control plane for wired, Wi-Fi, fabric, and software-defined wide-area network, with a strong focus on visualization and unified operations. New capabilities include a single, 'living' topology for physical, Wi-Fi, and fabric layers, deep fabric visibility, and zero-touch provisioning. Extreme also showcased a broadening of its Wi-Fi 7 lineup for both high-density and cost-sensitive deployments.
