HPE Aruba Networking 503 Series Campus Access Points deliver affordable Wi-Fi 6 coverage for indoor environments such as mid-sized offices, schools, and retail spaces where fewer people are on the network at the same time. With 1.49 Gbps maximum combined data rate, the 503 Series delivers cost-effective and reliable Wi-Fi for low to medium density environments.  The 503 Series is Wi-Fi CERTIFIED and supports 802.11ax features: OFDMA for multi-user efficiency, target wake time (TWT) to extend the battery life of connected IoT devices, and WPA3 and Enhanced Open for greater password and guest security. The 503 Series includes a limited lifetime warranty.

  • Cost-effective Wi-Fi 6 access points provide up to 1.49 Gbps maximum combined data rate:
  • It supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) features including OFDMA for enhanced multi-user efficiency and WPA and Enhanced Open (OWE) for greater security:
  • Dynamic segmentation and policy enforcement firewalls (PEFs) automatically enforce consistent policies across wired and wireless networks, enhancing user and device security:
  • Flexible management with AI-powered HPE Aruba Networking Central:
  • Available as optional eco-friendly 10-packs:
  • Better Performance with Wi-Fi 6: HPE Aruba Networking 503 Series Campus Access Points deliver a maximum speed of 1.49 Gbps with up to 2 spatial streams and 80 MHz channels (HE80). | Wi‑Fi CERTIFIED | ® | with support for Wi-Fi 6 features such as OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and target wait time (TWT) to drive improved efficiency. Handles multiple Wi-Fi 6 clients on each channel simultaneously, regardless of device or traffic type. | Enhanced wireless experience with HPE Aruba Networking ClientMatch technology removes sticky client issues by steering a client to the AP where it receives a good radio signal.
  • Flexible Management and Simplified Access: HPE Aruba Networking 503 Series Campus Access Points can be managed with HPE Aruba Networking Central, an AI-powered solution that simplifies IT operations, improves agility, and reduces costs by unifying management of campus, branch, remote, data center, and IoT networks from one dashboard. | Quick and easy deployment at branch offices or remote work sites without on-site technical expertise using zero touch provisioning (ZTP). | It provides seamless support for Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee wireless protocols using an optional IoT expansion radio (purchase separately).
  • Secure Access: HPE Aruba Networking 503 Series Campus 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 target wake time (TWT), part of Wi-Fi 6, establishes a schedule for client communications to save power and reduce airtime contention. | It 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). | The PEF automatically applies policies based on user role, device type, applications and location and dynamically segments traffic. | For enhanced device assurance, the APs include an installed trusted platform module (TPM) for protected storage of credentials and keys, and boot code.
