HPE Aruba Networking AP-518 White Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Aruba 518 Series Ruggedized Indoor Wi-Fi 6 Access Points
This hardened access point delivers high-performance in harsh, weather-protected environments such as warehouses, industrial freezers, or enclosures in extreme environments and stadiums.

For dense mobile and IoT environments
This high-performance, ruggedized access point is designed to simultaneously serve multiple clients and traffic types in dense environments utilizing the Wi-Fi 6 standard.

Durable in harsh temperature environments
Purpose-built to survive in the harshest weather-protected situations, the 518 Series APs can withstand exposure to extreme high and low temperatures, persistent moisture, and is sealed to keep out airborne contaminants. It’s everything you need for demanding environments.

High performance in dense deployments
Designed to optimize performance and roaming, the 518 Series APs deliver Wi-Fi 6 performance, plus Aruba’s patented AI-powered ClientMatch technology to eliminate sticky client issues.

Highly secure and reliable
With Wi-Fi 6 support for WPA3 and Enhanced Open, the 518 Series APs offer greater security and guest encryption. End-to-end encryption is ensured through the Aruba Policy Enforcement Firewall, while Dynamic Segmentation automatically enforces consistent policies across wired and wireless networks.

IoT and location-ready
Our APs include support for 802.15.4/Zigbee and Bluetooth to simplify the deployment and management of IoT and location-based services.

High-performance Wi-Fi 6 for harsh environments
The 518 Series delivers ruggedized APs for connectivity across the harshest environments.

Maximum aggregate on air data rate of 3 Gbps (HE80/HE40)
Provides the speed and reliability needed for the harshest, most demanding environments.

Dynamic Segmentation and policy - enforcement firewalls
Flexible and scalable, our access points automatically enforce consistent policies across wired and wireless networks.

IoT-ready Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4/Zigbee support
Simplifies deploying and managing IoT location services, asset-tracking services, security solutions, and IoT sensors with support for Target Wake Time to extend the life of sensors.

Advanced cellular co-location
Reduces cellular interference with Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) to minimize the impact of interference from high-powered cellular base stations.

Wi-Fi 6 support including OFDMA and MU-MIMO
Deliver greater multi-user efficiency and ensure seamless connectivity, even during maintenance or unplanned outages.

Support for multiple mounting solutions
Supports both indoor and outdoor mounting brackets for maximum flexibility.
