With up to 1200 MHz of new channels, capacity is nearly tripled—so you can meet growing demands due to bandwidth-hungry video, increasing numbers of client and IoT devices, and growth in cloud.
The 650 Series APs are indoor access points that are fully equipped to support the 6 GHz band for faster performance, wider channels, and minimal interference. Our flagship campus Wi-Fi 6E APs deliver 7.8 Gbps maximum aggregate data rates and 4x4 MU-MIMO.
Aruba 650 Series APs take advantage of the 6 GHz band for fast, secure connectivity plus configurable 5 Gbps dual Ethernet ports for high availability.
Provide hitless failover for data and power with two configurable HPE ® Smart Rate ethernet ports that can support 1, 2.5, or 5 Gbps.
Supports WPA3 and Enhanced Open as part of the Wi-Fi 6E standard for stronger guest access and data encryption.
By leveraging the 6 GHz band, Aruba 650 Series Campus APs delivers peak performance and far greater capacity than previous generations of Wi-Fi. With up to 1200 MHz of new channels, capacity is nearly tripled – so you can meet growing demand due to bandwidth-hungry video, increasing numbers of client and IoT devices and growth in cloud. Unique to Aruba, the 650 Series includes ultra tri-band filtering to minimize channel interference and dual configurable 5 Gbps ethernet ports to eliminate coverage gaps, provide greater resiliency, and deliver fast, secure connectivity.
The 650 Series APs are designed to take advantage of the 6GHz band, which translates into far greater speeds, wider channels for multi-gigabit traffic, and less interference. The three 4x4 MIMO radios of the platform deliver a combined peak datarate of up to 7.8Gbps.
Wi-Fi 6E provides up to 1200MHz in the 6GHz band for higher throughput and improved application performance. With up to seven 160MHz channels, Wi-Fi 6E can better support lowlatency, bandwidth hungry applications like high-definition video and artificial reality/virtual reality applications. Only Wi-Fi 6E capable devices can use the 6GHz band so there is no interference or slowdowns due to legacy devices.
For operation in the 6GHz band, the 650 Series APs are part of the low power indoor (LPI) device class. This fixed indooronly class uses lower power levels and does not require an Automated Frequency Coordination service (AFC) to manage incumbent outdoor services which is required for standard class APs.
