Aruba AP-585EX Dual Band IEEE 802.11ax 2.97 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point – Outdoor

Purpose-built to survive the harshest outdoor and hazardous indoor environments, the Aruba 580EX Series APs withstand exposure to extreme high and low temperatures and persistent moisture, are fully sealed to keep out airborne contaminants, and include industrial surge protection. The Aruba 580EX Series offers flexible power and management options to meet the needs of diverse environments and can be deployed using existing mounts. Like all Aruba APs, the Aruba 580EX Series is Wi-Fi 6 certified and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

DESIGNED FOR OUTDOOR FLEXIBILITY

Aruba 580EX Series Outdoor Access Points are weatherproofed and temperature hardened to support hazardous indoor and outdoor environments, including outdoor oil rigs, industrial manufacturing, and transportation sites. With Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, high power Bluetooth and 802.15.4/Zigbee radios, and maximum aggregate throughput of 2.97 Gbps, Aruba 580EX Series APs deliver the speed and reliability needed for demanding Industrial IoT environments.

To support high-performance connectivity in dense mobile and IoT outdoor environments, Aruba 580EX Series APs deliver maximum aggregate on air data rates of 2.97 Gbps and include 5 Gbps Smart Rate Ethernet ports. In addition, dual redundant power/port failover and support for AC ensure high availability with uninterrupted performance.

WI-FI 6 BENEFITS

The 580EX Series APs are based on the Wi-Fi 6/802.11ax standard, which means that Wi-Fi 6 features such as Uplink and Downlink Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), BSS coloring, Downlink Multi-User MIMO (MUMIMO), and cellular co-location are fully supported making it more efficient and secure.

Advantages of OFDMA

This capability allows Aruba's APs to handle multiple 802.11ax capable clients on each channel simultaneously, regardless of device or traffic type. Channel utilization is optimized by handling each transaction via smaller sub-carriers or resource units (RUs), which means that clients are sharing a channel and not competing for airtime and bandwidth.

Bi-directional Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO)

Similar to downlink MU-MIMO in Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2), Aruba 580EX Series APs can simultaneously connect clients using downlink – and now – uplink spatial streams. The added benefit is the ability to multiply the number of clients that can now send traffic, thus optimizing client-to-AP spatial stream diversity.
