HPE AP-514-US 

Aruba Wi-Fi 6 Dual-Radio Campus Wireless Access Point

The HPE Aruba AP-514 (US) is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) dual-radio access point designed for mid-density indoor environments such as offices, schools, and healthcare facilities. Supporting 4×4 MIMO on 5 GHz and 2×2 MIMO on 2.4 GHz, it delivers an aggregate peak wireless throughput of up to 5.4 Gbps. With features like OFDMA, MU-MIMO, 1024-QAM, and Aruba ClientMatch, it efficiently serves multiple clients simultaneously while optimizing RF performance. Integrated Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios enhance IoT and location services, making the AP-514 a versatile, future-ready connectivity platform. Management is flexible, whether through Aruba Central, on-prem Aruba controllers, or Instant mode, offering seamless deployment and robust enterprise security.

Features

The Aruba AP-514 strikes a balance between cost and capacity—ideal for spaces with moderate client density. On the 5 GHz band, it delivers up to 4.8 Gbps data rates using 4×4 SU-MIMO and HE160, while 2.4 GHz offers up to 575 Mbps with 2×2 SU-MIMO (aggregate ~5.4 Gbps) . Its advanced OFDMA and MU-MIMO capabilities allow efficient simultaneous servicing of multiple client devices, while features like 1024-QAM and wide channel bandwidths (HE160 at 5 GHz, HE40 at 2.4 GHz) drive greater throughput and network efficiency Aruba differentiates the AP-514 with features like ClientMatch, which dynamically balances client associations across access points for optimal performance, and integrated IoT radios (Bluetooth 5, Zigbee) that extend functionality without additional hardware. Deployment is simple thanks to Zero Touch Provisioning, and operations are streamlined via Aruba Central or on-site controllers, offering flexible, scalable management 

Advanced Options

The AP-514 is built to deliver consistent, high-performance wireless networking. Its Wi-Fi 6 engine—which includes OFDMA and MU-MIMO—enhances capacity and reduces latency in client-dense environments. The wide channel bandwidths and higher-order modulation ensure that both new and legacy devices benefit from faster speeds and improved responsiveness ClientMatch ensures optimal device-to-AP association, maintaining balanced performance and slightly reducing RF interference.
