Aruba Networking AP-555 (RW) TAA Dual Radio 8x8/4x4 802.11ax Internal Ants Unified Campus AP

Introduction

The Aruba 550 Series with 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), combined with Aruba intelligent software innovations are designed to deliver high performance connectivity for extreme high-density deployments of mobile and IoT.

The 550 Series is designed to simultaneously serve multiple clients and traffic types with dual radio (8x8 + 4x4 MIMO) and optional tri-radio mode, boosting overall network performance by up to 4X versus 802.11ac APs.

In addition to the benefits that 802.11ax delivers, the 550 Series provide differentiated capabilities which include AI-powered Wi-Fi RF optimization, always-on connectivity, WPA3 certified security, and unified wired and wireless policy with Dynamic Segmentation. Green AP mode offers AI-powered energy savings of up to 70%.

Enhanced performance
Aruba's ClientMatch feature intelligently groups Wi-Fi 6 clients onto the best AP's to leverage 802.11ax multi-user capabilities.

Smart power management
