What is the maximum data rate and performance of the AP-575?
The AP-575 delivers a maximum aggregate on-air data rate of 2.69 Gbps utilizing Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology with 4x4:4SS MU-MIMO capability. The dual-radio architecture operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands simultaneously, with Aruba's AI-powered ClientMatch technology optimizing client distribution across access points for consistent performance in high-density deployments.
Is the AP-575 suitable for outdoor deployment in harsh weather?
Yes, the AP-575 is purpose-built for harsh outdoor environments. It is fully sealed to withstand extreme temperatures, persistent moisture, precipitation, and airborne contaminants. All electrical interfaces include industrial-strength surge protection against lightning and power surges, making it ideal for parking lots, stadiums, and public venues without requiring additional protective enclosures.
What IoT and location services does the AP-575 support?
The AP-575 integrates Bluetooth 5.0 and 802.15.4/Zigbee radios for seamless IoT device connectivity and Aruba location services. These integrated radios enable indoor/outdoor positioning, wayfinding applications, and IoT sensor network deployment without requiring separate hardware, simplifying smart city and facility management initiatives.
How is the AP-575 powered and what are the power requirements?
The AP-575 is powered via IEEE 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for separate AC power infrastructure in outdoor locations. This PoE support reduces installation costs and complexity, particularly valuable in remote or exposed outdoor areas where AC power is unavailable or expensive to install.
What management and security features are included?
The AP-575 supports ArubaOS and InstantOS with Zero Touch Provisioning for rapid deployment. Management interfaces include USB-C console, web GUI, CLI, and SNMP. Security features include WPA3 certification, Enhanced Open support, Dynamic Segmentation for policy-based access control, and Policy Enforcement Firewall for user and IoT device segmentation.
Can the AP-575 be deployed in large-scale outdoor networks?
Yes, the AP-575 is designed for large-scale outdoor deployments including stadiums, venues, and campus networks. Zero Touch Provisioning enables rapid deployment of multiple units, while Aruba Central provides unified management across wired and wireless networks with AI-powered analytics, end-to-end orchestration, and advanced security features.
What antenna configuration does the AP-575 use?
The AP-575 features integrated omnidirectional antennas with 5 dBi gain on 5 GHz and 3.4 dBi on 2.4 GHz bands. The Bluetooth 5.0 and Zigbee radios include integrated omnidirectional antennas with 6 dBi peak gain. This omnidirectional design provides 360-degree coverage ideal for outdoor pole and wall mounting in public spaces.
