Access Point HPE Instant On Outdoor AP27 2.4 GHz 5 GHz Wi-Fi 5

The HPE Networking Instant On Outdoor Access Point AP27 is a dual-band outdoor Wi‑Fi 6 access point designed for reliable wireless coverage in outdoor environments. Housed in a rugged IP67-rated enclosure with integrated wall and pole mounts, the AP27 supports up to 75 simultaneous users, delivers combined 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz performance with a maximum data rate of 1774 Mbit/s, and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified deployment. It offers enterprise-class features such as OWE, WPA2, WPA3 security, OFDMA, MIMO and Target Wake Time for efficient multi-client operation without recurring subscription fees.

Advantages

The AP27 is built to withstand harsh weather and wide temperature ranges (operating from very low to very high temperatures), enabling year-round outdoor use. Dual-radio semi-directional antennas provide extended range and capacity while Wi‑Fi 6 technologies (OFDMA, MIMO, TWT) improve efficiency, reduce latency and extend battery life of compatible client devices. Integrated mounting brackets, PoE support and a rugged white enclosure simplify installation and integration with existing networks. Management is available through the Instant On mobile app or web portal for easy setup and captive-portal guest onboarding.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Outdoor retail patios, cafés and restaurants providing guest Wi‑Fi
• Parks, campuses and outdoor public spaces needing coverage for visitors
• Outdoor work sites and business perimeters requiring reliable staff connectivity
• Locations requiring secure guest onboarding via captive portal

How to use

Mount the AP27 on a wall or pole using the integrated brackets and connect it to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or injector that provides 802.3af/at power. Use the Instant On mobile app or the web portal to complete initial setup, configure SSIDs and security settings (OWE/WPA2/WPA3), and enable the captive portal for guest access if required. Place the access point in a location clear of large metal obstructions to maximize coverage and follow local mounting and grounding best practices for outdoor installations.

Recommendations

For best performance, position the AP27 to minimize physical obstructions between the device and client areas, ensure PoE cabling meets outdoor and grounding requirements, and monitor connected client counts—this AP supports up to 75 simultaneous users. For high-density scenarios or extended coverage, consider additional APs and centralized planning via the Instant On management tools.
