HPE Aruba Networking AP-577

Yes, it is specifically engineered for harsh outdoor environments. The unit features a ruggedized design that protects against extreme temperatures, moisture, and high winds, making it ideal for stadiums, parking lots, and other exposed locations.

Absolutely. The AP-577 includes integrated Bluetooth and Zigbee radios, allowing you to connect and manage IoT devices directly through the access point without needing separate gateways for those protocols.

Because it utilizes the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard, this access point is designed to handle high-density environments efficiently. It supports a maximum wireless data rate of 4.8 Gbps, ensuring reliable connectivity even when many users are connected simultaneously.

The AP-577 supports Zero Touch Provisioning, which significantly simplifies the setup process for rapid deployment. Once installed, you can manage the device alongside your broader network infrastructure through a single, centralized interface.

The AP-577 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), meaning it can receive both data and power through a single Ethernet cable. This is particularly useful for outdoor installations where running separate power lines to every access point would be impractical.

This model is equipped with a directional antenna. This design is intentional, as it allows you to focus the wireless signal toward a specific area, such as a seating section or a walkway, rather than broadcasting it in all directions.
