HPE R4H18A Aruba AP-575 802.11ax Wireless Access Point

Detailed Specifications

The HPE R4H18A is an Aruba 570 Series outdoor wireless access point engineered to deliver high-performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) connectivity in environmentally challenging locations. It is specifically designed for deployment in large outdoor areas such as stadiums, public venues, industrial yards, and enterprise campuses that require robust, high-density wireless coverage. This access point solves the critical problem of providing reliable, high-speed network access in environments exposed to extreme temperatures, moisture, and precipitation. At its core, the R4H18A leverages key Wi-Fi 6 technologies like OFDMA and bi-directional MU-MIMO to increase network capacity and efficiency, supporting a high volume of concurrent users and IoT devices without degrading performance. This translates to a smoother user experience with reduced latency for demanding applications. With an aggregate data rate of up to 3 Gbps, it provides the speed and reliability necessary for modern mobility and IoT requirements. The unit's industrial-grade construction ensures consistent operation under harsh conditions. Purpose-built for harsh outdoor environments, the access point features a weatherproof and temperature-hardened chassis rated to withstand a wide temperature range. Its form factor is designed for external mounting on poles or walls. Management is flexible, supported by both cloud-based Aruba Central for streamlined oversight and traditional on-premises controllers running ArubaOS or InstantOS, allowing seamless integration into existing network infrastructures.
