HPE Aruba AP-515 5.40 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point TAA Compliant

SKU CH-H24T-JGYVK

Delivers up to 5.4 Gbit/s aggregate throughput with 802.11ax features including OFDMA, MU-MIMO and 1024-QAM for dense environments

  • High-density 802.11ax handles 256 clients per radio
  • 4 Gbit/s aggregate throughput with 4.8 Gbit/s 5 GHz and 575 Mbit/s 2.4 GHz
  • 4×4 MU-MIMO and 16-resource-unit OFDMA serve many devices at once
  • 160 MHz channels and 1024-QAM boost peak data rates
  • TAA compliant for federal and regulated deployments

HPE Aruba AP-515 Access Point

The HPE Aruba AP-515 is an 802.11ax wireless access point built for environments where many mobile and IoT devices connect simultaneously. It delivers an aggregate peak data rate of 5.40 Gbit/s across dual radios. The unit is TAA compliant for regulated procurement requirements.

High-Density Campus Deployments

This access point suits campuses, auditoriums and offices where client density challenges existing infrastructure. It supports up to 256 associated clients per radio and uses OFDMA with up to 16 resource units plus MU-MIMO to serve multiple users at once. Buyers needing outdoor-rated enclosures or standalone controller-less management for tiny sites should evaluate other product lines.

5.40 Gbit/s Aggregate Throughput

The decisive specification is the combined peak rate of 5.40 Gbit/s, split as 4.8 Gbit/s on 5 GHz and 575 Mbit/s on 2.4 GHz. Four spatial streams on 5 GHz with 160 MHz channels and 1024-QAM modulation enable this ceiling. If your design requires higher per-radio throughput or 6 GHz operation, this model will not meet the target.

Questions about this item

What maintenance will the 4x4 MIMO 5 GHz radio need later?

The 5 GHz radio uses 4x4 MIMO with up to four spatial streams and 1024-QAM; no user-serviceable parts are inside, so maintenance is limited to firmware updates and occasional vent cleaning.

Which limit appears first under sustained heavy client load?

Each radio supports up to 256 associated client devices; the 5 GHz band reaches 4.8 Gbps peak and the 2.4 GHz band reaches 575 Mbps, so total throughput or the 256-client ceiling will be hit first.

How much heat and noise does the AP-515 produce running all day?

The unit is fanless and designed for silent operation; heat is dissipated through the chassis, so it runs quietly with only modest warmth during continuous 802.11ax traffic.
