Frequently asked questions
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.
