Description
The HPE Aruba Networking AP-605R12 (US) is a powerful remote access point designed for mission-critical remote work and small branch environments. Delivering tri-band Wi-Fi 6E performance, this dual-radio 2x2 MIMO access point supports concurrent operation across the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands for a peak data rate of up to 3.6 Gbps.
Equipped with optional CAT12 LTE connectivity for primary or backup cellular links, it ensures business continuity even in untrusted or unstable network environments. Its integrated 2.5 Gbps and 1 Gbps Ethernet ports, built-in BLE/Zigbee radios, and USB connectivity provide flexible wired and IoT extension.
Easily managed via HPE Aruba Networking Central, this cloud-native AP supports microbranch functionality with SD-WAN orchestration, Zero Touch Provisioning, and strong security features like Dynamic Segmentation, WPA3, and a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure key storage.
