Product Description
Overview
- HPE Aruba Networking 503 Series Campus Access Points deliver cost-effective Wi-Fi 6 coverage in a compact form factor. With 1.49 Gbps maximum combined speed and support for 512 clients per AP, the HPE Aruba Networking 503 Series is well-suited for medium-density environments such as K-12 schools, branch offices, and retail stores. HPE Aruba Networking 503 Series Campus APs include support for 802.11ax features: OFDMA for multi-user efficiency, Target Wake Time to extend the battery life of connected IoT devices, and WPA3 and Enhanced Open for greater password and guest security. This enables the HPE Aruba Networking 503 Series Campus APs to better support ever-increasing Wi-Fi demands due to bandwidth-hungry video, growth in client and IoT devices, and expanded use of the cloud.
