With a maximum concurrent data rate of 1.2 Gbps in the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (for an
aggregate peak data rate of 1.77 Gbps), the 500 Series Wireless Access Points deliver affordable high performance
802.11ax access for mobile and IoT devices in indoor environments where device density is high such as higher
education, K12, retail branches, hotels and digital workplaces. The high performance and high density 802.11ax
500 Series Access Points support all mandatory and several optional 802.11ax features, which include up- and
downlink Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) for increased user data rates and reduced
latency, downlink Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) for improved network capacity with
multiples devices capable to transmit simultaneously, 2x2 MIMO with up to two spatial streams (2SS) in both the
5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands, channel bandwidths up to 80 MHz (in 5 GHz; 40 MHz in 2.4 GHz) and 1024-QAM
modulation. Each AP supports up to 256 associated client devices per radio and up to 16 BSSIDs per radio, and has
a total of two dual band antennas. In addition to 802.11ax standard capabilities, the Wi-Fi 6 AP-500 Series
supports unique features like Aruba ClientMatch radio management and additional radios (Bluetooth 5 and
Zigbee) for location services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT sensors, as well as ArubaOS 8
features like Aruba Activate and AirMatch with machine learning technology to automatically optimize the
wireless network performance.
