This high-performance, ruggedized access point is designed to simultaneously serve multiple clients and traffic types in dense environments utilizing the Wi-Fi 6 standard.
Purpose-built to survive in the harshest weather-protected situations, the 518 Series APs can withstand exposure to extreme high and low temperatures, persistent moisture, and is sealed to keep out airborne contaminants. It’s everything you need for demanding environments.
The 518 Series delivers ruggedized APs for connectivity across the harshest environments.
Provides the speed and reliability needed for the harshest, most demanding environments.
Reduces cellular interference with Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) to minimize the impact of interference from high-powered cellular base stations.
Purpose-built to survive in the harshest weather-protected 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.
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.
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).
