Detailed Specifications

The HPE R7T14A is an Aruba 580 Series Outdoor Access Point, specifically the AP-584 model, engineered for high-performance wireless connectivity in demanding outdoor and environmentally challenging locations. This Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point is designed for large enterprise campuses, stadiums, and industrial IoT deployments that require robust, high-density connectivity. It addresses the critical need for reliable, multi-gigabit Wi-Fi in harsh conditions where standard access points would fail. At its core, the AP-584 is built for resilience and speed. It features dual 4x4:4 radios operating on both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands, achieving a maximum aggregate data rate of 2.97 Gbps. Key technologies like OFDMA and MU-MIMO are leveraged to ensure efficient and seamless performance for multiple concurrent users and devices. The hardware is encased in a weatherproof and temperature-hardened IP66/67-rated housing, protecting it from extreme temperatures, moisture, and dust. This level of durability, combined with industrial-grade surge protection on its network ports, ensures high availability and continuous service. Deployment is flexible, with support for both 5 Gbps Smart Rate Ethernet and 10 Gb SFP+ uplinks, providing versatile backhaul options to prevent bottlenecks in the access layer. The unit also supports PoE-PD (Power Delivery), allowing it to be powered by another PoE source for simplified installation. Management is handled through Aruba's centralized platforms, offering a consistent operator experience for configuration, monitoring, and automation across the network infrastructure. Integrated Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios further extend its capability, enabling scalable IoT solutions without requiring a separate gateway.
