Outdoor Wi-Fi 6 Access Point

The HPE Aruba Networking AP-577 is a dual-radio outdoor access point built for Wi-Fi 6 connectivity in exposed environments. It integrates 90° directional antennas with 6.3 dBi gain at 5 GHz and 6.4 dBi at 2.4 GHz. The hardened enclosure operates from -40°C to +65°C and meets IP-rated weatherproof requirements for permanent outdoor installation.

Suits campus and industrial Wi-Fi 6 rollouts

This unit suits network teams deploying high-density Wi-Fi 6 coverage across campuses, yards or rail platforms where directional antenna patterns focus capacity. It also supports Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee via an integrated IoT radio for sensor networks. Buyers needing omnidirectional coverage or indoor-only mounting should evaluate other form factors.

Pole or wall mount with PoE

The AP-577 mounts on poles or walls using the 23x22x13 cm chassis weighing 2.1 Kg. It draws up to 32.0 W via dual PoE ports or 26.1 W on a single PoE connection, with idle draw of 14.0 W or 16.0 W respectively. A USB port allows third-party expansion while the integrated IoT radio handles Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee without extra hardware.

Questions about this item

What power source does the AP-577 require to operate?

The AP-577 is powered via PoE, drawing up to 32.0 W when both PoE ports are used or 26.1 W on a single PoE port for full function.

Can the AP-577's integrated directional antennas work with existing 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz clients?

Yes, the built-in 90°H x 90°V directional antennas support 5 GHz 4x4 MIMO and 2.4 GHz 2x2 MIMO, serving legacy and Wi-Fi 6 clients simultaneously.

How can I verify the AP-577 is running correctly after installation?

Check that the unit powers on within the 14.0 W to 16.0 W idle range and that both radios show active client connections on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
