Description
Aruba AP-518 Dual Band 802.11ax 4.80 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point – Indoor – 2.40 GHz
5 GHz – External – MIMO Technology – 2 x Network (RJ-45) – 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
Gigabit Ethernet – Bluetooth 5 – IP55 11AX AP PL-VL
High performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for harsh weather-protected and indoor environments
The hardened
Aruba 518 Series access point delivers high Wi-Fi 6 performance in harsh
weather-protected environments such as warehouses
industrial freezers or enclosures in extreme environments such as stadiums. It delivers 4×4:4SS MU-MIMO capability
Aruba’s advanced ClientMatch and integrated Bluetooth to enable Aruba location services.
Purpose-built to survive in the harshest outdoor environments
518 Series APs withstand exposure to extreme high and low temperatures
persistent (non-precipitant) moisture
and are sealed to keep out airborne contaminants. All electrical interfaces include industrial strength surge protection.
Aruba Wi-Fi 6 access points provide high-performance connectivity in dense mobile and IoT environments. With maximum aggregate on air data rate of 3 Gbps (HE80/HE40)
the 518 Series APs deliver the speed and reliability needed for demanding environments.
INCREDIBLE EFFICIENCY
The 518 Series APs are designed to optimize user experience by maximizing Wi-Fi efficiency and dramatically reducing airtime contention between clients.
Features include Uplink and Downlink Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)
Downlink Multi-User MIMO (MU MIMO) and cellular co-location. With up to 4 spatial stream and 160 MHz channel capability
the 518 provides groundbreaking wireless capabilities for any application.
Advantages of OFDMA
This capability allows Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs to handle multiple Wi-Fi 6 enabled clients simultaneously on a single radio. Channel utilization is optimized per transaction by matching allocated bandwidth in a channel to the offered user load. These sub divisions of the channel are referred to as Resource Units (RU).
Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO)
The 518 Series APs support downlink MU-MIMO similar to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) APs. With the introduction OFDMA in Wi-Fi 6
the overhead for this capability is reduced and MU-MIMO effectiveness is substantially improved for large client counts.
Wi-Fi 6 and MU-MIMO aware client optimization
Aruba’s patented AI powered ClientMatch technology ensures that all clients are attached to their best serving Access Point. Session metrics
network metrics
applications and client type are used to identify and maintain the best connection.
Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
The ACC feature uses built in filtering to automatically minimize the impact of interference of high power cellular base stations
in building distributed antenna systems as well as small cell and femtocell equipment.
