Affordable Wi-Fi 6 APs – ideal for low-to-medium density enterprise environments.
Meet Aruba’s most cost-effective Wi-Fi 6 access point
Upgrade your wireless performance with affordable Wi-Fi 6 coverage to meet ever-growing demand.
Greater efficiency
Built on Wi-Fi 6 standards and Wi-Fi CERTIFIED®, 503 Series APs include support for OFDMA for higher throughput and Target Wake Time to extend the battery life of IoT devices.
Simple and secure access
Aruba 503 Series Indoor Access Points offer enhanced security with WPA3 and Enhanced Open for stronger encryption and guest access. The Trusted Platform Module secures credentials, keys, and boot code while the Policy Enforcement Firewall automatically applies policies based on user role, device type, applications, and location and dynamically segments traffic.
Cost effective, comprehensive coverage
Options include single or eco-friendly ten-packs for affordable indoor Wi-Fi coverage for low-to-medium density environments. USB plug-ins for IoT support are also available.
1.49 Gbps maximum real-world speed
Delivers speed and reliability with HE80/HE20 channels for K-12 schools, branch offices, and retail stores.
Dynamic segmentation
Automatically enforces policies for users, devices, and applications across wired and wireless networks.
Wi-Fi optimization
Aruba ClientMatch uses AI to steer traffic to the best AP while Aruba AirMatch dynamically allocates RF resources to improve coverage and eliminate gaps.
Application assurance
Aruba Air Slice dynamically allocates and tunes radio resources to ensure application service levels and optimize the user experience.
Flexible deployment
The 503 Series APs can be deployed in campus, branch, and remote locations and with cloud-based or on-prem management.
