HPE Q9H58A AP-514 802.11ax 5.40 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point

HPE Q9H58A - AP-514 Wi-Fi 6 Dual-Radio External-Antenna Access Point

Overview

The HPE Q9H58A (Aruba AP-514) is a dual-radio Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point with 4×4:4 in the 5 GHz band and 2×2:2 in the 2.4 GHz band. It targets campus or large-branch environments where you need robust wireless service for mobile users, IoT sensors and high-density device count. With external antenna connectors it suits flexible RF layout (e.g., large open offices or auditoria) or retrofit where ceiling-plenum and custom antenna configurations are required. It fits into the wireless infrastructure of a campus, enterprise branch or hospitality environment, integrates with HPE/Aruba Wireless LAN controllers or Cloud/On-Prem management, and supports wired uplinks including 2.5 GbE for future-proofed wired backhaul.

Key Features

• Supports up to ~5.4 Gbps aggregate data rate (approx. 4.8 Gbps in 5 GHz + ~0.575 Gbps in 2.4 GHz) under 802.11ax.

• Multi-gigabit wired connectivity: 2.5 GbE SmartRate port plus 1 GbE port provides higher uplink bandwidth and less bottleneck on wired portion.

• External‐antenna design allows custom RF deployments and fine-tuned coverage in complex areas (e.g., open spaces, auditoriums, IoT zones).

• Built-in IoT readiness: includes Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee (802.15.4) radio for location services, asset tracking or IoT sensors.

• Management flexibility: supports zero-touch provisioning, cloud or controller-based management, enabling branch and campus scale deployments and unified wired/wireless policy enforcement.
