HPE ANW AP-555 (ID) CAMPUS AP

HPE Aruba Networking Wi-Fi 6 access points provide high performance connectivity for any organization experiencing growing numbers of Internet of Things (IoT) and mobility requirements. With a combined peak data rate of up to 5.37 Gbps, the HPE Aruba Networking 550 Series Campus Access Points delivers the speed and reliability needed for any enterprise.

Incredible efficiency

The HPE Aruba Networking 550 Series Campus Access Points are also designed to optimize user experience by maximizing Wi-Fi efficiency and dramatically reducing airtime contention between clients device.

Features include orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), bidirectional multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO), and cellular optimization. With optional tri-radios, up to four spatial streams (4SS) and 160 MHz channel bandwidth, the 550 series provides groundbreaking wireless capabilities for any enterprise.

Advantages of OFDMA

This capability allows HPE Aruba Networking access points to handle multiple Wi-Fi 6 capable clients device concurrently in a single transmit or receive time slot regardless of device or traffic type. Channel utilization is optimized by handling each transaction through smaller subcarriers or resource units (RUs), which means that clients device are sharing a time slot in the frequency domain and not competing for airtime and bandwidth.

Bidirectional MU-MIMO

Similar to downlink MU-MIMO in Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2), the 550 series can simultaneously connect clients device using downlink-and now-uplink spatial streams. The added benefit is the ability to multiply the number of clients device that can now send traffic, thus optimizing client-toaccess point spatial stream diversity

Wi-Fi 6 and MU-MIMO aware client device optimization

HPE Aruba Networking patented AI-powered ClientMatch technology helps eliminate sticky client device issues by placing Wi-Fi 6 capable devices on the best available access point. Session metrics are used to steer mobile devices to the best access point based on available bandwidth, types of applications being used, and traffic type-even as users roam.

HPE Aruba Networking Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)

This feature uses built-in filtering to automatically helps minimize the impact of interference from cellular networks, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and commercial small-cell or femtocell equipment.

Intelligent power monitoring

HPE Aruba Networking access points continuously monitor and report hardware energy consumption. They can also be configured to enable or disable capabilities based on available Power over Ethernet (PoE) power-ideal when wired switches have exhausted their power budget.

IoT platform capabilities

Like all HPE Aruba Networking Wi-Fi 6 access points, the 550 series includes an integrated Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio (for Zigbee support) to simplify deploying and managing IoT-based location services, asset tracking services, security solutions, and IoT sensors. It also enables NFC to easily display access point status information and streamline deployment. This allows organizations to leverage the 550 series as an IoT platform, which helps eliminate the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources.
