Description
The HPE Aruba Networking AP‑555 (JZ357A) is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point designed for large, high-density indoor environments such as campuses, auditoriums, or enterprise offices. Featuring dual radios with optional tri-radio support, it delivers up to 5.37 Gbps aggregate throughput, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive and multi-client scenarios.
Built with advanced features including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, Target Wake Time (TWT), and Aruba ClientMatch, the AP‑555 enhances client experience while reducing latency and improving spectral efficiency. Security is enforced with WPA3 encryption, Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF), and built-in Trusted Platform Module (TPM). IoT-ready, it includes integrated Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios, plus a USB port for additional connectivity.
With two 5 Gbps Smart Rate Ethernet ports and HPE Aruba Central cloud management compatibility, the AP‑555 provides scalability, zero-touch provisioning, and unified network visibility for modern deployments.
