HPE Aruba AP-535, DR 4x4:4, IA, Unified Campus

Wi-Fi 6 Performance
The HPE Aruba AP-535 is an indoor Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point with dual radios: 5 GHz (4x4 MIMO, HE80 or 2SS HE160, up to 2.4 Gbps) and 2.4 GHz (4x4 MIMO, HE40/HE20, up to 1.147 Gbps). Combined peak data rate of 2.97 Gbps ensures high throughput for enterprise networks. Supports up to 1024 clients per radio and 16 BSSIDs, ideal for large offices, campuses, or high-density device environments.

Technologies and Efficiency
The access point supports OFDMA and MU-MIMO for efficient multi-user operation, reducing latency and increasing throughput. Built-in technology addresses sticky client issues (Wi-Fi 5/6), ensuring stable connectivity. WPA3 and Enhanced Open security provide robust data protection. Green AP mode reduces power consumption during idle periods.

IoT and Location
Integrated Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee support enable connectivity for IoT devices like sensors or smart appliances. Ranging technology provides accurate indoor location tracking, useful for navigation or asset management.

Networking Capabilities
Supported frequency bands include 2.4–2.4835 GHz (ISM) and 5.15–5.895 GHz (U-NII-1, 2A, 2C, 3, 4, subject to regional regulations). MU-MIMO operates bidirectionally on 5 GHz and downstream on 2.4 GHz for efficient data transfer. Compatible with Aruba Central for centralized network management.

Design and Installation
The compact chassis (240 x 240 x 57 mm, 1.27 kg) without mounting bracket allows easy ceiling or wall installation. Designed for indoor use in offices, schools, or campus environments.
