HPE Aruba Networking Q9H73A AP-515 Wi-Fi 6 access point

Campus Wi-Fi 6 AP for dense environments

The HPE Aruba Networking AP-515 is an indoor unified campus access point built for high-density deployments. It uses 802.11ax technology to serve multiple clients simultaneously across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The dual-radio design supports 4x4 MIMO on 5 GHz and 2x2 MIMO on 2.4 GHz. It is suited for offices, schools and venues where many mobile and IoT devices connect at once.

2.69 Gbps peak rate with 160 MHz channels

The access point delivers a maximum combined data rate of 2.69 Gbps using channel widths up to 160 MHz on 5 GHz and 40 MHz on 2.4 GHz. Each radio handles up to 256 associated client devices, with typical active-client limits lower than the association maximum. Four integrated downtilt omnidirectional antennas provide 4.2 dBi gain at 2.4 GHz and 7.5 dBi at 5 GHz. Peak throughput per band reaches 4.8 Gbps on 5 GHz and 575 Mbps on 2.4 GHz.

Dual Ethernet uplinks and IoT radios

A 2.5 GbE Smart Rate port and a 1 GbE port provide wired backhaul with link aggregation or failover options. Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios are integrated for IoT beaconing and sensor connectivity. The unit carries a UL2043 plenum rating for installation in air-handling spaces. Management requires HPE Aruba Networking Wireless OS or Instant OS 8.6.0.0 or later for unrestricted operation.
