Description
- Ideal for organizations with work from home or teleworker initiatives
- Up to 1.5 Gbps of maximum wireless throughput
- 4 wired network ports and 1 Smart Rate uplink port
- WPA3 and Enhanced Open security
- Built-in technology that resolves sticky client issues for Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5 devices
- OFDMA and MU-MIMO for enhanced multi-user efficiency
- IoT-ready Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee support
High performance and cost-effective Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for hospitality, branch, and teleworker deployments
These economical Wi-Fi 6 access points provide high-performance connectivity for any organization experiencing growing mobile, cloud and IoT requirements. With a wireless aggregate data rate of up to 1.5 Gbps and gigabit local wired ports, they deliver the range of connectivity options needed for venues such as hotels, residence halls, and remote offices alike.
INCREDIBLE EFFICIENCY
The 500H Series APs are designed to optimize user experience by maximizing Wi-Fi efficiency and dramatically reducing airtime contention between clients. Features include Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), multi-user MIMO and cellular optimization. With up to 2 spatial streams (2SS) and 80MHz channel bandwidth, the 500H Series provides groundbreaking wireless capabilities for budget-conscious deployments. Read the Multi-User 802.11ax white paper for further information.
Advantages of OFDMA
This capability allows Aruba’s APs to handle multiple Wi-Fi 6 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.
ARUBA 500H SERIES HOSPITALITY ACCESS POINTS
High performance and cost-effective Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for hospitality, branch, and teleworker deployments
Wi-Fi 6 and MU-MIMO aware client optimization
Aruba’s patented AI-powered ClientMatch technology eliminates sticky client issues by placing Wi-Fi 6 capable devices on the best available AP. Session metrics are used to steer mobile devices to the best AP based on available bandwidth, types of applications being used and traffic type – even as users roam.
Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
This feature uses built-in filtering to automatically minimize the impact of interference from cellular networks, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and commercial small cell or femtocell equipment.
Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM)
Aruba APs continuously monitor and report hardware energy consumption. They can also be configured to enable or disable capabilities based on available PoE power – ideal when wired switches have exhausted their power budget (AP-505H).
IoT PLATFORM CAPABILITIES
Like all Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs, the 500H Series includes an integrated Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio (for Zigbee support) to simplify deploying and managing IoT-based location services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT sensors. This allows organizations to leverage the 500H Series as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources.
Target Wake Time (TWT)
Ideal for IoTs that communicate infrequently, TWT establishes a schedule for when clients need to communicate with an AP. This helps improve client power savings and reduces airtime contention with other clients.
Advanced IoT Coexistence (AIC)
This feature uses built-in filtering to allow Wi-Fi and BLE/ Zigbee radios to operate at maximum capacity without the impact of interference
ARUBA SECURE INFRASTRUCTURE
The Aruba 500H Series includes security components to help protect user authentication and wireless traffic. Select capabilities include:
WPA3 and Enhanced Open
Support for stronger encryption and authentication is provided via the latest version of WPA for enterprise protected networks. Enhanced Open offers seamless new protection for users connecting to open networks where each session is automatically encrypted to protect user passwords and data on guest networks.
WPA2-MPSK
MPSK enables simpler passkey management for WPA2 devices – should the Wi-Fi password on one device or device type change, no additional changes are needed for other devices. This requires ClearPass Policy Manager.
VPN Tunnels
In Remote AP (RAP) and IAP-VPN deployments, the Aruba 500H Series can be used to establish a secure SSL/IPSec VPN tunnel to a Gateway or Mobility Controller that is acting as a VPN concentrator.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
For enhanced device assurance, all Aruba APs have an installed TPM for secure storage of credentials, keys and boot code.
SIMPLE AND SECURE ACCESS
To simplify policy enforcement, the Aruba 500H Series uses Aruba’s Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) to encapsulate all traffic from the AP to the Mobility Controller (or gateway) for end-to-end encryption and inspection. Policies are applied based on user role, device type, applications, and location. This reduces the manual configuration of SSIDs, VLANs and ACLs. PEF also serves as the underlying technology for Aruba Dynamic Segmentation.
HIGH-DENSITY CONNECTIVITY
Each 500H Series AP provides connectivity for a maximum of 256 associated clients per radio (512 in total). In real-world scenarios, the maximum recommended client density is dependent on environmental conditions.
VERSATILE INSTALLATION OPTIONS
The APs can be deployed as a wall-mount or for remote teleworker environments, they can be converted to a deskmount by using an optional accessory stand.
FLEXIBLE OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT
A unique feature of Aruba APs is the ability to operate in either controller-less (Instant) or controller-based mode.
Controller-less (Instant) mode
In controller-less mode, one AP serves as a virtual controller for the entire network. Learn more about Instant mode in this technology brief.
Remote AP or IAP-VPN mode
For both cloud and on-premises deployments, each AP can establish secure overlay VPN tunnels to a VPN Concentrator (VPNC). Aruba Central-managed SD-WAN Gateways and on‑premises Mobility Controllers both support VPNC functionality.
Mobility Controller mode
For optimized network performance, roaming and security, APs tunnel all traffic to a mobility controller for centrally managed traffic forwarding and segmentation, data encryption, and policy enforcement. Learn more in the ArubaOS datasheet.
Management options
Available management solutions include Aruba Central (cloud-managed) or Aruba AirWave – a multi-vendor on-premises management solution. For large installations across multiple sites, APs can be factory-shipped and can be activated with Zero Touch Provisioning through Aruba Central or AirWave. This reduces deployment time, centralizes configuration, and helps manage inventory.
500H Remote AP bundles
To simplify the ordering and distribution of 500H access points, we offer a number of AP bundles that combine an AP variant a desk stand, power adapter, and North American or European power cord. This makes it easier to get remote workers and small branches up and running quickly.
