Product Description
Overview
- The HPE Aruba Networking 518 Series Hardened Access Points provide high-performance wireless connectivity for harsh weather environments such as warehouses, stadiums, industrial freezers, and enclosures. Supporting the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard, the HPE Aruba Networking 518 Series can achieve a maximum aggregate data rate of 3 Gbps (HE80/HE40) to deliver high speed and reliability. The HPE Aruba Networking 518 Series Hardened APs are also designed to provide improved user experiences by integrating key Wi-Fi optimization technologies for increased Wi-Fi efficiency and optimized client airtime.
Features
- The HPE Aruba Networking 518 Series also supports Air Slice, a unique capability that enhances OFDMA with SLA-grade application assurance from the access point to the client device.
- Features improved client visibility with integrated device profiling, and the option for advanced insights when integrated with HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager or HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Device Insight.
- Supports Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee® wireless protocols through an integrated IoT radio, and third-party expansion with an integrated USB port.
- The HPE Aruba Networking 518 Series Hardened Access Points have the ability to support up to 512 associated clients per Wi-Fi radio – ideal for organizations deploying Wi-Fi connected IoT devices.
- It is purpose-built to survive in the harshest outdoor environments, withstanding exposure to extreme high and low temperatures, persistent moisture, and are sealed to keep out airbourne contaminants.
- This product can be managed by Aruba Central, as well as with existing on-premises and local management options.
- The HPE Aruba Networking 518 Series Hardened Access Points are purpose-built to deliver unified connectivity and support flexible deployment options.
- The HPE Aruba Networking 518 Series Hardened Access Points support the Wi-Fi 6 standard, including features such as orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), bi-directional Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO), and Target Wait Time (TWT).
- Patented RF optimization technologies like ClientMatch have also been enhanced with Wi-Fi 6 awareness to group Wi-Fi 6-capable client devices together for optimized network utilization.
