The HPE Aruba Networking 550 Series Campus Access Points provide high-performance Wi-Fi 6 connectivity to mobile and IoT devices in high density environments. Providing up to 5.37 Gbps combined aggregate data rate with dual radios and optional tri-radio mode, this series is built on Wi-Fi 6 standards (IEEE 802.11ax) and includes features such as OFDMA, bidirectional MU-MIMO, and target wait time (TWT) for better multi-user performance and improved efficiency. This series can be deployed using Zero Touch Provisioning, without on‑site technical expertise, for ease of implementation in branch offices and for remote work. 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 550 series includes a limited lifetime warranty.
- The Aruba 550 Series Campus Access Points with 802.11ax technology efficiently and simultaneously serves multiple clients, increasing data rates for both individual devices and as an overall system.
- The Aruba 550 Series Campus Access Points includes Aruba Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) which allows for a gradual upgrade of switching by allowing the APs to operate if there is not enough Power over Ethernet ( PoE) power.
- The Aruba 550 Series Campus Access Points provides unique benefits for IoT devices from dedicated channels in OFDMA allowing for simultaneous transmission of IoT connections with low latency, to power saving options with Target Wake Time (TWT) to saves battery life.
Unsurpassed Performance
In the optional tri-radio operating mode, the 5GHz radio is split up into two independent 4x4 MIMO radios with up to four spatial streams each. This enables even higher numbers of simultaneously connected client devices.
Smart Power Management
As higher-performance 802.11ax access points drive more power consumption, Aruba NetInsight Green AP feature allows the 550 series access points to draw less power when it's not being used, such as evenings when the buildings are empty.
IoT and Location Ready
The 550 series supports an integrated Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) and Zigbee radio, as well as a USB port for increased flexibility, providing better security and reliable connectivity for IoT devices and for implementing location services.
