HPE Aruba Networking R4W44A AP-565 outdoor access point

Entry-level outdoor Wi-Fi 6 access point

The HPE Aruba Networking AP-565 is an entry-level outdoor wireless access point built on the Wi-Fi 6 standard. It delivers a peak aggregate data rate of 1.49 Gbps through dual 2x2 radios operating on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Integrated omnidirectional antennas provide up to 5.4 dBi gain at 5 GHz and 3.2 dBi at 2.4 GHz. A single Gigabit Ethernet port and USB-C console interface handle wired connectivity and local management.

Suits harsh-environment deployments needing IoT

This unit suits network teams deploying Wi-Fi in warehouses, loading docks or campus exteriors where temperatures swing from -40 °C to +55 °C. The built-in Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radios add Zigbee support for IoT sensors without extra hardware. Buyers who need directional antenna patterns, multi-gigabit uplink speeds or indoor-only aesthetics should evaluate other models.

Cloud and on-premises management flexibility

The AP-565 supports on-premises controllers, public cloud, virtual private cloud and as-a-service management models. This lets IT teams choose a deployment style that matches existing infrastructure without replacing the access point. No separate antenna kits or mounting brackets are referenced in the specifications, so installers should verify what the project requires.
