Aruba AP-584 Dual Band IEEE 802.11ax 2.97 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point – Outdoor

Purpose-built to survive in the harshest outdoor environments, Aruba 580 Series Outdoor Access Points are designed for the highest levels of performance and greater deployment flexibility – all backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Aruba 580 Series APs deliver the speed and reliability needed for large enterprise and Industrial IoT deployments with high power Bluetooth and 802.15.4/Zigbee radios and flexible power options.

DESIGNED FOR OUTDOOR FLEXIBILITY

Weatherproofed, and temperature hardened to survive in the harshest outdoor environments, Aruba 580 Series APs withstand exposure to extreme high and low temperatures, persistent moisture, and precipitation, and are fully sealed to keep out airborne contaminants. All electrical interfaces include industrial surge protection and are IP66/67 certified.

To support high-performance connectivity in dense mobile and IoT outdoor environments, Aruba 580 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 580 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 (MU-MIMO), 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 580 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.

WI-FI OPTIMIZATION, Client optimization

Aruba's patented AI-powered ClientMatch technology eliminates sticky client issues by steering a client to the AP where it receives the best radio signal. ClientMatch also dynamically steers traffic to load balance APs to improve the user experience.
