Overview

HPE AP-577EX 802.11ax 4.80 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point - 2.40 GHz, 5 GHz - MIMO Technology - 2 x Network (RJ-45) - 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet - PoE Ports - Bluetooth 5 - 32 W

High performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for hazardous locations and harsh outdoor environments

In outdoor and environmentally challenging locations such as oil rigs, mining facilities, and industrial plants, networks need to be protected from extreme temperatures, flammable gases or vapors, and dust concentrations. With Class 1 Division 2 and ATEX Zone 2 certifications, the 570EX Series Access Points deliver reliable Wi-Fi 6 performance to the most extreme environments.

The 570EX delivers 4x4:4SS MU-MIMO capability, Aruba ClientMatch and integrated Bluetooth to enable Aruba location services. Purpose-built to survive in the harshest industrial outdoor environments, 570EX Series APs withstand exposure to extreme high and low temperatures, persistent moisture and precipitation, and are fully sealed to keep out airborne contaminants. All electrical interfaces include industrial strength surge protection.

Aruba Wi-Fi 6 access points provide high-performance connectivity in dense mobile and IoT environments. With maximum aggregate on air data rates of 3 Gbps (HE80/HE40), the 570EX Series APs deliver the speed and reliability needed for demanding environments.

INCREDIBLE EFFICIENCY

The 570EX Series APs are designed to optimize user experience by maximizing Wi-Fi efficiency and dramatically reducing airtime contention between clients.

Advantages of OFDMA

This capability allows Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs to handle multiple Wi-Fi 6 enabled clients simultaneously on a single radio. Channel utilization is optimized per transaction by matching allocated bandwidth in a channel to the offered user load. These sub divisions of the channel are referred to as Resource Units (RUs).

Aruba Air Slice for Extended OFDMA Assurance

Initially, APs in controller-less mode (Instant) can provide SLAgrade performance by allocating RUs to specific traffic types. By combining Aruba's Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) and Layer 7 deep packet inspection (DPI) to identify user roles and applications, the APs will dynamically allocate the bandwidth needed. Non-Wi-Fi 6 clients can also benefit.

Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO)

The 570EX Series APs support downlink MU-MIMO similar to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) APs. With the introduction OFDMA in Wi-Fi 6, the overhead for this capability is reduced and MUMIMO effectiveness is substantially improved for large client counts.

Wi-Fi 6 and MU-MIMO aware client optimization

Aruba's patented AI-powered ClientMatch technology ensures that all clients are attached to their best serving Access Point. Session metrics, network metrics, applications and client type are used to identify and maintain the best connection.

Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)

The ACC feature uses built in filtering to automatically minimize the impact of interference of high power cellular base stations, in building distributed antenna systems as well as small cell and femtocell equipment.

Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM)

Aruba APs continuously monitor and report hardware energy consumption. APs can be configured to enable or disable capabilities based on the available PoE power - ideal when wired switches have exhausted their power budget.

  • Its management capability provides efficient control over setup and configuration of your network
  • With PoE Port, transfer data and power from a single cable to places where a power outlet is not present
  • Create a reliable wireless business network with this wireless access point that features a high-speed data transfer rate
