The Aruba 500 series access points, with Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology and Aruba’s intelligent software innovations, deliver high performance connectivity for mobile and IoT devices in any environment.
The 500 series is designed to simultaneously serve multiple clients and traffic types in dense environments, and boosts overall network performance by up to 400% compared to 802.11ac APs.
The 500 Series also provides differentiated capabilities that include AI-powered RF optimization, Live upgrades, WPA3 and Enhanced Open certified security, and unified wired and wireless policy with Dynamic Segmentation.
Additionally, Green AP energy savings are available when Aruba’s AI/ML capabilities are enabled.
