The Aruba AP-577 (part of the HPE Aruba Networking 570 Series) is a rugged, high-performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) outdoor access point designed for challenging environments like stadiums, parking lots, and public venues. It features integrated directional antennas and is built to withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, and airborne contaminants with an IP66/IP67-rated weatherproof enclosure. This dual-band access point supports a maximum aggregate data rate of up to 2.69 Gbps and incorporates advanced technologies like 4x4 MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) and OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) for high efficiency and connectivity in dense client environments. It also includes integrated Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios, making it an IoT-ready platform that supports location services and asset tracking without the need for additional network overlays. Security features are robust, with support for WPA3 encryption and Dynamic Segmentation policy enforcement firewalls. The AP can be managed via cloud-based Aruba Central or on-premises Mobility Controllers and supports Zero Touch Provisioning for simplified deployment. Wireless Technology: Supports the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard, including features like Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) and bi-directional Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO). Performance: Delivers a maximum aggregate data rate of up to 2.69 Gbps (or 3 Gbps aggregate throughput, with 575 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and 4.8 Gbps on the 5 GHz band). Outdoor Durability: Purpose-built to survive in harsh outdoor conditions, sealed to keep out airborne contaminants, and resistant to extreme temperatures (-40°C to +65°C / -40°F to +149°F). It has an IP66/IP67 ingress protection rating and can survive winds up to 165 Mph. Antennas: Features built-in directional antennas (90°H x 90°V) for focused coverage, with peak gains of 6.8 dBi (2.4 GHz) and 5.6 dBi (5 GHz). IoT Ready: Includes a built-in Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio that supports Zigbee protocols for IoT integration without network overlays.
