HPE R7G97A – AP-503H Hospitality/Branch Wi-Fi 6 Access Point

Overview

The HPE R7G97A (Aruba AP-503H) is a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)-enabled access point targeted at hospitality, branch and remote office deployments where device density and modern wireless features are required but extremely high-end capacity may not be necessary. It supports up to 1.5 Gbps aggregate wireless throughput, includes multiple wired ports, integrated IoT and Bluetooth radios, and is built to fit environments like hotel rooms, residence halls or branch office floors with simple installation and rich features. In real-world deployments, this model is useful when you need reliable WiFi 6 client support, multi-gig wireless capability, guest/employee segmentation, and IoT readiness (e.g., for guest devices or sensors) in moderate-density indoor settings.

Key Features

• Up to 1.5 Gbps aggregate data rate under WiFi 6. 

• Built-in support for Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee/802.15.4 IoT radio, enabling location, asset tracking and IoT device connectivity without separate gateways. 

• Multiple wired ports (e.g., 3× 1 GbE RJ-45) to support uplink and downstream/guest ports. 

• WiFi 6 features such as OFDMA, MU-MIMO, improved airtime efficiency — beneficial for mixed client loads, guest devices and IoT endpoints.
