Aruba AP-615 Wi-Fi 6E Tri-Band 2x2 MIMO Campus PoE Access Point

Product Description

HPE Aruba Networking 610 Series (RW) Wi-Fi 6E Campus APs

Deliver the highest levels of performance with Wi-Fi 6E – greater capacity, wider channels, and less interference – in a compact, cost-effective form factor.

Meet HPE Aruba Networking’s compact, cost-effective Wi-Fi 6E access point

More capacity to meet growing demands. The new 610 Series provides fast, resilient, and secure Wi-Fi 6E connectivity in a compact and affordable platform. 

Greater capacity with 6 GHz

• The HPE Aruba Networking 610 Series extends all the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 to the 6 GHz band: speed, more 80/160 MHz channels, and less interference to support high-definition video and more clients.

Cost-effective and compact

• For enterprises who needed more wireless capacity and/or wider channels, the HPE Aruba Networking 610 Series features two radios that can be tuned to any two of the three available spectrum bands for cost-effective connectivity in a compact form factor. The 610 Series provides tri-band coverage when deployed in a multi-AP environment.

Highly efficient and secure

• Wi-Fi 6E extends support to the 6 GHz band based on the 802.11ax standard. 802.11ax provides greater efficiency and higher levels of guest and password security with orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), Enhanced Open, and WPA3. The 610 Series APs also offer client optimization, automated radio frequency management, and intelligent power monitoring.

Greater IoT support

• HPE Aruba Networking 610 Series APs act as an IoT transport platform without the need to deploy or manage overlay gateways. The APs include integrated Bluetooth Low Energy 5 (BLE) and 802.15.4/Zigbee radios plus dynamic segmentation for added security making it easier to deploy and manage.

Compact and cost-effective Wi-Fi 6E platform

Ideal for branch and small campus environments, HPE Aruba Networking 610 Series Wi-Fi 6E APs offer fast, secure connectivity.

¹ When configured for 5 GHz + 6 GHz operation
² By default (with IPM disabled) the AP-615 will disable the USB port and limit the speed of the Ethernet port to 1Gbps when on class 3 PoE. The Intelligent Power Monitoring feature can be used to avoid these restrictions
