HPE Aruba Networking AP‑555 (JP) TAA Dual Radio 8x8/4x4 802.11ax Internal Ants Unified Campus AP

Top Wi-Fi 6 Performance

The HPE Aruba Networking 550 Series Campus Access Points are designed to simultaneously serve multiple clients and traffic types with dual radio and optional tri-radio mode, boosting overall network performance and providing up to 5,37 Gbps combined aggregate data rate

Optional tri-radio mode supports two 5 GHz radios and one 2.4 GHz radio (4x4 MIMO).

The AP includes features such as OFDMA, bidirectional MU-MIMO, and target wait time (TWT) for better multi-user performance and improved efficiency.

Enhanced wireless experience with HPE Aruba Networking ClientMatch technology removes sticky client issues by steering a client to the AP where it receives one of the best radio signals.

Two 5 Gbps ports provide flexibility to support speeds of 1, 2.5, or 5 Gbps (or 100 Mbps).

Enhanced Security

The HPE Aruba Networking 550 Series Campus Access Points offer enhanced security with Dynamic Segmentation to remove the time-consuming and error-prone task of managing complex and static VLANs, ACLs, and subnets by dynamically assigning policies and keeping traffic protected and separated.

It offers stronger encryption and authentication with WPA3, protected credentials/keys storage for guest access with Enhanced Open, and user and IoT access policy enforcement firewalls (PEF).

The AP simplifies policy enforcement by using the PEF to encapsulate all traffic from the AP to the gateway (or mobility controller) for end-to-end encryption and inspection.

For enhanced device assurance, the 550 Series include an installed Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for protected storage of credentials and keys, and boot code.

IoT Ready

The HPE Aruba Networking 550 Series Campus Access Points can serve as IoT platforms that bolster network security and provide coverage for a range of IoT devices without the need for network overlays.

The AP supports an integrated Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio (for Zigbee support), as well as a USB port for increased flexibility, providing better security and reliable connectivity for IoT devices.

HPE Aruba Networking Central Client Insights uses deep packet inspection to provide additional context and behavioral information that help verify devices are receiving proper policy enforcement and continuously monitor for rogue devices.

Sustainability

The 550 Series support AI-powered Dynamic Power Save mode, it enables APs to automatically wake up at a schedule when connectivity demand arises, reducing power demands and lowering the energy footprint to align with the organization sustainability initiatives.

The Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) feature provides the ability to enable or disable capabilities based on available PoE power.

The target wake time (TWT) establishes a schedule for when clients need to communicate with an AP to help improve client power savings and reduce airtime contention.
