Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 campus access point

The HPE Aruba AP-725 is an indoor wireless access point built for campus environments. It delivers Wi-Fi 7 across three radios covering 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands. Integrated down-tilt omni-directional antennas provide 2x2 MIMO with peak gains of 5.1 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 5.4 dBi at both 5 GHz and 6 GHz. The unit mounts horizontally on ceilings with a roughly 30-degree downtilt for optimal coverage.

4.7 Gbps aggregate tri-band data rate

Three 2x2 MIMO radios combine for a maximum tri-band aggregate data rate of 4.7 Gbps. Wi-Fi 7 multilink operation enables channel aggregation and 4K QAM for higher throughput and lower latency. The 6 GHz band more than doubles available capacity compared with previous allocations. An integrated IoT radio supports BLE or 802.15.4/Zigbee for building automation. Maximum power draw is 17.1 W without USB devices and 22.8 W with them attached.

PoE-powered with 2.5 Gbps Ethernet uplink

The access point is powered by IEEE 802.3at PoE Class 4, eliminating the need for a local power outlet. A single 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port provides the wired uplink. AI-powered dynamic power save mode reduces energy consumption during low-traffic periods. Certifications include Wi-Fi Alliance Wi-Fi CERTIFIED for a, b, g, n, ac, 6 and 7 with WPA2, WPA3 and Enhanced Open. Compliance covers FCC/ISED, CE RED Directive 2014/53/EU and UL/IEC/EN 62368-1 safety standards.

Questions about this item

Will the AP-725's 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port work with my existing gigabit switch?

Yes, the 2.5 Gbps port auto-negotiates down to 1 Gbps so it connects to your current switch while still accepting PoE power.

How can I verify the AP-725 is operating correctly after ceiling mounting?

Check that the status LEDs show solid green for power and each radio, then confirm clients associate on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz with MLO enabled.

Does the S4A25A include mounting brackets or a PoE injector in the box?

The access point ships with integrated antennas only; mounting hardware and a PoE+ injector or compatible switch must be purchased separately.
