HPE Aruba AP-515 (RW) Unified Access Point - Wi-Fi 6 Dual-Band, 5.4Gbps, PoE+ Q9H62-61001

The HPE Aruba AP-515 (RW) Unified Access Point brings Wi-Fi 6 performance to high-density indoor environments, delivering up to 5.4 Gbps aggregate throughput across dual bands. With a 4x4:4 MU-MIMO radio on 5 GHz and 2x2:2 on 2.4 GHz, it supports more simultaneous clients without sacrificing speed. Unlike many access points that rely on external antennas, this model integrates internal omni-directional antennas for a clean, plenum-rated design that blends into office ceilings and walls.

Highlights

• Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with dual-band operation (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
• Aggregate data rate up to 5.4 Gbps (4.8 Gbps on 5 GHz, 575 Mbps on 2.4 GHz)
• 4x4:4 MU-MIMO on 5 GHz and 2x2:2 MU-MIMO on 2.4 GHz
• Two Ethernet ports: one 2.5GbE and one 1GbE, with PoE+ (802.3at) support
• Bluetooth 5.0 and USB 2.0 for IoT and peripheral connectivity
• Supports Aruba Instant, controller-based, and Aruba Central management

In daily use

Deploy the AP-515 in offices, schools, or retail spaces where many devices need reliable wireless access. WPA3 and Enhanced Open security protect data, while the dual-core ARM Cortex A53 processor and 1 GB RAM handle heavy traffic. Power it via PoE+ to simplify installation without separate power supplies.
