HPE Aruba Networking AP-518 (US) Dual Radio 4x4/2x2 Wi-Fi 6 6xRPSMA Connectors Hardened AP

2.4 GHz. 5 GHz. IEEE 802.11ax. Power over Ethernet (PoE). Internal. The HPE Aruba Networking 518 Series Hardened Access Points deliver high-performance Wi-Fi 6 connectivity in harsh, weather-protected environments such as warehouses, industrial freezers or enclosures in extreme environments such as stadiums. With Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4/Zigbee radios, and maximum aggregate data rate of 3 Gbps, the 518 series delivers the speed and reliability needed to bring Wi-Fi 6 to challenging environments. These ruggedized Wi-Fi 6 access points (APs) are ready to survive high wind, extreme temperatures, and moisture and can be quickly deployed using Zero Touch Provisioning. HPE Aruba Networking Central provides a single pane of glass for overseeing wired and wireless LANs, WANs, and VPNs. AI‑powered analytics, end‑to‑end orchestration and automation, and advanced security features are built natively into the solution. The 518 series includes a limited lifetime warranty. What is new supporting point: Purpose built to survive in harsh outdoor environments and extreme temperatures (-40˚C to +65˚C). Internet of Things (IoT)-ready with a built-in [1] Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio that supports Zigbee. Connectorized APs that support external antennas and provide flexible deployment with support for both indoor and outdoor mounting brackets. Client and RF optimization to match clients with the best available access point and reduce coverage gaps. High-performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) connectivity for harsh, weather-protected environments with maximum aggregate data rate of 3 Gbps (HE80/HE40).
