Description
The HPE Aruba Networking AP‑518 (JP) is a ruggedized, high-performance Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point built to deliver robust wireless connectivity in harsh indoor environments such as warehouses, stadium enclosures, or industrial facilities. With 4x4 MIMO on 5 GHz and 2x2 MIMO on 2.4 GHz, plus six external RP‑SMA connectors for antenna flexibility, the AP‑518 ensures high throughput, reduced latency, and reliable coverage for dense mobile and IoT deployments.
Designed to meet the demands of industrial-grade networking, this hardened AP supports Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee for IoT connectivity, dual Ethernet with link aggregation, and industrial-grade surge protection. It operates efficiently across extreme temperatures, supports 512 clients per radio, and is optimized for high-density, mission-critical use cases.
