Product Description
The HPE Aruba Networking AP-535 is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 indoor access point designed for high-density enterprise environments such as offices, hospitals, training facilities, meeting rooms, and large commercial spaces. It features dual-radio 4×4 MIMO technology on both the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands, along with IEEE 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6, OFDMA, and bidirectional MU-MIMO to efficiently serve multiple users and devices.
The AP-535 provides a combined wireless data rate of up to 3.55 Gbps, with up to 2.4 Gbps on the 5 GHz radio and 1.15 Gbps on the 2.4 GHz radio according to the current HPE Aruba datasheet. Its integrated internal antennas are optimized for ceiling-mounted deployments, making the AP-535 suitable for enterprise wireless networks requiring reliable coverage and high client capacity.
For wired connectivity, the AP-535 includes two HPE SmartRate Ethernet ports supporting negotiated speeds up to 5 Gbps. The access point supports PoE through 802.3at/bt and also provides USB 2.0 connectivity for supported external devices. Integrated Bluetooth 5.0 BLE and Zigbee radios make the AP-535 suitable for IoT and location-based applications.
Security and network-management capabilities include WPA3, dynamic segmentation, ClientMatch, centralized management through HPE Aruba Networking Central, and zero-touch provisioning. The AP-535 is backed by a limited lifetime hardware warranty, making it a strong choice for demanding enterprise wireless deployments.
