Aruba AP-505 Unified Dual Band PoE Wireless Access Point, Wi-Fi 6

Aruba AP-505 - Description

Unified Dual Band PoE Wireless Access Point, Wi-Fi 6

Next-Gen Wi-Fi 6 Performance for Modern Networks:

Aruba AP-505 Unified Access Point is a cost-effective, high-performance Wi-Fi 6 solution ideal for schools, offices, and retail spaces. Supporting dual-band 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) with 2x2 MIMO, it offers up to 1.49 Gbps real-world aggregate throughput. Designed for dense environments, it handles up to 256 clients per radio, ensuring seamless connectivity and enhanced user experience across mobile and IoT devices.

Advanced Wireless Efficiency with OFDMA and TWT:

This access point features Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), enabling multiple clients to transmit simultaneously, improving spectral efficiency and reducing latency. Target Wake Time (TWT) further optimizes power usage for IoT devices, ensuring energy efficiency and better network performance, even during heavy traffic.

AI-Powered Client Optimization with ClientMatch:

HPE Aruba’s patented ClientMatch technology intelligently steers devices to the best available AP based on real-time performance metrics. This prevents sticky client issues, improves roaming experience, and ensures optimized bandwidth usage for all connected devices, including both Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 clients.

Built-In IoT Support and Security Features:

Integrated Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios support IoT location tracking, security, and sensors, reducing the need for additional infrastructure. Security is enhanced with WPA3, Enhanced Open, and WPA2-MPSK encryption. A built-in Trusted Platform Module (TPM) ensures safe credential storage, while Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) offers granular traffic control.

Flexible Deployment and Management Options:

The AP-505 supports both on-premises and cloud-based management via Aruba Central. It can operate in standalone mode or with a gateway for scalable deployments. Features like Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM), Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC), and zero-touch provisioning simplify deployment and minimize interference from external signals.

Compact Design with Smart Power Efficiency:

Housed in a lightweight form factor (160x161x37 mm, 500g), the AP-505 supports 802.3af/at PoE and DC power. Its intelligent power management adapts functionality based on available power, consuming as little as 1.7W in deep sleep mode. USB support, visual indicators, and integrated antennas ensure ease of use and setup.
