HPE R4W54A Aruba Ap-565 Outdoor Wireless Access Point

Detailed Specifications

The HPE R4W54A is the Aruba AP-565, a ruggedized outdoor wireless access point engineered for medium-density deployments in environmentally challenging locations. As part of the Aruba 560 Series, it brings high-performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) connectivity to venues such as warehouses, stadiums, and transportation hubs. Its primary purpose is to deliver reliable, cost-effective wireless access in locations where exposure to weather, extreme temperatures, and moisture is a constant, ensuring business continuity and a seamless user experience outdoors. This access point leverages key Wi-Fi 6 technologies like Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) and Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) to increase network capacity and efficiency. These features allow it to handle numerous concurrent client connections with minimal latency, a critical requirement for modern IoT and mobility-driven environments. With an aggregate on-air data rate of 1.49 Gbps, the AP-565 provides the speed and reliability needed for demanding applications while managing power efficiently through features like Target Wake Time (TWT), which is ideal for battery-powered IoT devices. Designed for operational simplicity, the R4W54A can be deployed and managed using Aruba Central, a cloud-based platform that enables zero-touch provisioning, centralized configuration, and AI-powered network monitoring. The unit is housed in a weatherproof and temperature-hardened IP55-rated enclosure, purpose-built to withstand harsh conditions. Its compact form factor allows for flexible mounting on poles or walls, making it an adaptable solution for extending enterprise-grade wireless coverage to outdoor spaces.
