• Built-in technology that resolves sticky client issues for Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5 devices
• OFDMA and MU-MIMO for enhanced multi-user efficiency
• IoT-ready Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee support
• Embedded ranging technology for accurate indoor location measurements

Incredible Efficiency

The 510 Series APs are also designed to optimize user experience by maximizing Wi-Fi efficiency and dramatically reducing airtime contention between clients. Features include Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), multi-user MIMO and cellular optimization. With up to 4 spatial streams (4SS) and 160MHz channel bandwidth (VHT160), the 510 Series provides groundbreaking wireless capabilities for any enterprise.

Wifi Optimization 

Aruba’s patented AI-powered ClientMatch technology eliminates sticky client issues by steering a client to the AP where it receives the best radio signal. Client Match steers traffic from the noisy 2.4 GHz band to the preferred 5 GHz or 6 GHz band depending on client capabilities. ClientMatch also dynamically steers traffic to load balance APs to improve the user experience

IOT Ready 

The 510 Series includes an integrated Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio (for Zigbee support) to simplify deploying and managing IoT-based location services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT sensors. This allows organizations to leverage the 510 Series as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources.

Foundation for Accurate Indoor Location 

Aruba APs act as a foundation for accurate indoor location so that location-aware services can be deployed at scale. Using embedded GPS receivers, Aruba Wi-Fi 6E APs are able to self-locate and work with Wi-Fi 6 APs to establish reference points that can be used to accurately determine indoor client location.

Because they use universal latitude and longitude coordinates, there is no need for custom map development or to create separate applications for indoor and outdoor environments.

Aruba Secure Infrastructure 

The Aruba 510 Series includes components of Aruba’s Zero Trust and SASE framework to help protect user authentication and wireless traffic.

Simple & Secure Access 

To simplify policy enforcement, the Aruba 510 Series uses Aruba’s policy enforcement firewall (PEF) feature to encapsulate all traffic from the AP to the Mobility Controller (or Gateway) for end-to-end encryption and inspection. Policies are applied based on user role, device type, applications, and location. This reduces the manual configuration of SSIDs, VLANs and ACLs. PEF also serves as the underlying technology for Aruba Dynamic Segmentation.

Flexible Operation & Management 

Our unified APs can operate as standalone access points or with a gateway for greater scalability, security, and manageability. APs can be deployed using zero touch provisioning – without on-site technical expertise – for ease of implementation in branch offices and for remote work.

Specifications 

• Product Differentiator: Aruba AP-515 (RW) Dual Radio 4x4:4 + 2x2:2 802.11ax Internal Antennas Unified Campus AP 

• Wifi Antennas: Four integrated dual-band downtilt omni-directional antennas for 4x4 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 4.2dBi in 2.4GHz and 7.5dBi in 5GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees. 

• Operating conditions
• Temperature: 0C to +50C / +32F to +122F
• Humidity: 5% to 93% non-condensing − AP is plenum rated for use in air-handling spaces − ETS 300 019 class 3.2 environments

• Storage and transportation conditions
• Temperature: -40C to +70C / -40F to +158F
• Humidity: 5% to 93% non-condensing − ETS 300 019 classes 1.2 and 2.3 environments

• Power Sources and Power Consumption: 
• The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (POE; on port E0)
• When both power sources are available, DC power takes priority over POE
• Power sources are sold separately; see the ordering Information section below for detailsWhen powered by DC or 802.3at POE, the AP will operate without restrictions
• When powered by 802.3af POE and with the IPM feature enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode, but it may apply restrictions depending on the POE budget and actual power. What IPM restrictions to apply, and in what order, is programmable.
• When powered by 802.3af POE with the IPM feature disabled, the AP operates in power-save mode, and will apply some fixed restrictions: − The USB interface and E1 Ethernet port are disabled − The 5GHz radio is restricted to 2x2 operation
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption: − DC powered: 17W − POE powered (802.3at): 20.8W − POE powered (802.3af): 13.5W − All numbers above are without an external USB device connected. When sourcing the full 5W power budget to such a device, the incremental (worst-case) power consumption for the AP is up to 6.5W.
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode: 11W (DC or POE)
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in deep-sleep mode: 1W (DC or POE)
