Aruba AP-635 Wi-Fi 6E Tri-Band 2x2 MIMO Campus PoE Access Point

Product Description

HPE Aruba Networking 630 Series (RW) Wi-Fi 6E Campus APs

Unlock the 6GHz band to provide fast, resilient, and secure Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.

First enterprise-grade Wi-Fi 6E solution

For enterprises who will need more wireless capacity and wider channels to grow, Aruba 630 Series APs take advantage of the 6 GHz band via three dedicated radios.

High performance, more capacity

• The 630 Series APs are designed to take advantage of the 6 GHz band, which translates into far greater speeds, wider channels for multi-gigabit traffic, and less interference. It delivers 3.9 Gbps maximum aggregate data rates Tri-radio, 2x2:2 MIMO in all three bands (3.9Gbps aggregate peak).

Less interference

• 630 Series APs include HPE Aruba Networking’s unique ultra tri-band filtering, which enables enterprises to take advantage of the high end of 5 GHz band with the lower end of 6 GHz without experiencing signal interference or performance degradation.

Ultimate efficiency

• The 630 Series APs are based on the 802.11ax standard, which means that all its efficiency and security enhancements are also available on the 6 GHz band. Features include Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), Multi-User MIMO as well as other capabilities built into HPE Aruba Networking’s Wi-Fi 6 access points.

IoT and location ready

• The 630 Series includes an integrated Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio for Zigbee support to simplify deploying and managing IoT-based location services, asset tracking services, security solutions, and IoT sensors.

More wireless capacity with ultra tri-band filtering

Aruba 630 Series APs take advantage of the 6 GHz band and include ultra tri-band filtering and dual 2.5 Gbps ethernet ports to eliminate coverage gaps and deliver fast, secure connectivity.
