ARUBA AP-518 IL TAA INDR HRDND 11AX AP PL-VL

The HPE Aruba Networking 518 Series Hardened Access Points deliver high-performance Wi-Fi 6 connectivity in harsh, weather-protected environments such as warehouses, industrial freezers or enclosures in extreme environments such as stadiums. With Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4/Zigbee radios, and maximum aggregate data rate of 3 Gbps, the 518 series delivers the speed and reliability needed to bring Wi-Fi 6 to challenging environments. These ruggedized Wi-Fi 6 access points (APs) are ready to survive high wind, extreme temperatures, and moisture and can be quickly deployed using Zero Touch Provisioning. HPE Aruba Networking Central provides a single pane of glass for overseeing wired and wireless LANs, WANs, and VPNs. AI-powered analytics, end-to-end orchestration and automation, and advanced security features are built natively into the solution. The 518 series includes a limited lifetime warranty.

• High performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) connectivity for harsh, weather-protected environments with maximum aggregate data rate of 3 Gbps (HE80/HE40):
• Purpose built to survive in harsh outdoor environments and extreme temperatures (-40˚C to +65˚C):
• Ready for Internet of Things (IoT) with a built-in Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio that supports Zigbee:
• Connectorized APs that support external antennas and provide flexible deployment with support for both indoor and outdoor mounting brackets:
• Client and RF optimization to match clients with the best available AP and reduce coverage gaps:
• Dynamic segmentation and policy enforcement firewalls (PEFs) automatically enforces consistent policies across networks, keeping users and devices secure:
• Ruggedized Wi-Fi 6: The HPE Aruba Networking 518 Series Hardened Access Points deliver maximum aggregate data rate of 2.69 Gbps (HE80/HE20) and can endure extreme temperatures, persistent moisture, precipitation, airborne contaminants, dust, salt sprays, and maximum 165 mph wind speeds. | Weatherproof and temperature hardened, this series can handle temperatures ranging from -40˚C to +65˚C, including full solar loading. All electrical interfaces include industrial strength surge protection. | The APs provide fast wired connections with 2.5 Gbps Ethernet and 1 Gbps Ethernet ports. | It supports features such as orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), downlink MIMO (multiuser-MIMO), and target wait time (TWT). | Enhanced wireless experience with HPE Aruba Networking ClientMatch technology removes sticky client issues by steering a client to the AP where it receives one of the best radio signals.
• IoT Ready: The HPE Aruba Networking 518 Series Hardened Access Points can serve as IoT platforms that bolster network security and provide coverage for a range of IoT devices without the need for network overlays. | The 518 series supports Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee wireless protocols through an integrated IoT radio. | The target wake time (TWT) improves battery life of IoT devices. | HPE Aruba Networking Central client insights uses deep packet inspection to provide additional context and behavioral information that help verify devices are receiving proper policy enforcement and continuously monitor for rogue devices.
• Enhanced Security: The HPE Aruba Networking 518 Series Hardened Access Points offer enhanced security with dynamic segmentation to remove the time-consuming and error-prone task of managing complex and static VLANs, ACLs, and subnets by dynamically assigning policies and keeping traffic protected and separated. | The AP offers stronger encryption and authentication with WPA3, protected credentials/keys storage for guest access with Enhanced Open (OWE) and user and IoT access policy enforcement firewalls (PEFs). | It simplifies policy enforcement by using the PEF to encapsulate all traffic from the AP to the gateway (or mobility controller) for end-to-end encryption and inspection. | For enhanced device assurance, the APs include an installed trusted platform module (TPM) for protected storage of credentials, keys, and boot code.
