Description
HPE Aruba Networking 500 Series Campus Access Points deliver cost-effective Wi-Fi 6 coverage for indoor environments such as mid-sized offices, schools, and retail spaces where fewer people are on the network at the same time. With a 1.49 Gbps maximum combined data rate, the 500 series delivers reliable Wi-Fi for medium-density environments and is supported by HPE Aruba Networking Central, AI-powered management that simplifies and improves IT operations across branch, remote office, campus, data center, and IoT networks with a single point of visibility and control. The 500 series is Wi-Fi CERTIFIED and supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) features: OFDMA for multi-user efficiency, target wake time (TWT) to extend the battery life of connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and WPA3 and Enhanced Open (OWE) for greater password and guest security. The 500 series includes a limited lifetime warranty.
