Wi-Fi 6 solution designed for indoor environments, offering speed and reliability for smaller offices and clinics, and supports growth.
Built on Wi-Fi 6 standards, 500 Series APs include features such as OFDMA and Target Wake Time for better multi-user performance, improved efficiency, and green energy savings.
Supports wired and wireless connectivity (in a single device) for up to 1.5 Gbps wireless and 256 associated clients per radio.
Delivers speed and reliability for work and indoor environments.
Flexible and scalable, it automatically enforces consistent policies across wired and wireless networks.
Handles multiple clients on each channel regardless of device or traffic type, using AI to eliminate sticky client issues.
These affordable Wi-Fi 6 access points provide high-performance connectivity for any organization experiencing growing numbers of mobile, IoT and mobility requirements. With a combined peak datarate of up to 1.49Gbps, they deliver the speed and reliability needed for venues and workplaces such as schools, midsize offices and retailers.
The 500 Series APs are also designed to optimize user experience by maximizing Wi-Fi efficiency and dramatically reducing airtime contention between clients.
Features include Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), and cellular optimization. With up to 2 spatial streams (2SS) and 80MHz channel bandwidth (HE80), the 500 Series provides groundbreaking wireless capabilities for budget-conscious deployments.
This capability allows Aruba’s APs to handle multiple Wi-Fi 6 capable clients on each channel simultaneously, regardless of device or traffic type. Channel utilization is optimized by handling each transaction via smaller sub-carriers or resource units (RUs), which means that clients are sharing a channel and not competing for airtime and bandwidth.
Aruba’s patented AI-powered ClientMatch technology eliminates sticky client issues by steering a client to the AP where it receives the best radio signal. Client Match steers traffic from the noisy 2.4 GHz band to the preferred 5 GHz or 6 GHz band depending on client capabilities. ClientMatch also dynamically steers traffic to load balance APs to improve the user experience.
