HPE Networking Instant On AP-575EX R4W34A outdoor access point

Aruba AP-575EX outdoor wireless AP

The Aruba AP-575EX is an outdoor wireless access point supporting 802.11ax operation across 2.40 GHz and 5 GHz bands. It delivers an aggregate data rate of 4.80 Gbit/s and uses MIMO technology for multi-stream performance. The unit includes two RJ-45 ports offering 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with PoE support. An integrated Bluetooth 5 radio is also present.

Suits campus and industrial Wi-Fi.

This access point suits organisations deploying wireless coverage across exterior campus areas, loading docks or industrial yards where an IP67-rated enclosure is required. The 32 W power draw and PoE input simplify cabling in locations without local mains outlets. Buyers needing only indoor coverage should look at indoor-rated models instead. Those requiring fibre uplink ports or a different mounting form factor will need alternative hardware.

IP67-rated enclosure for permanent outdoor mounting

The defining specification is the IP67 rating, which confirms the housing is dust-tight and protected against temporary water immersion. This makes the AP-575EX appropriate for permanent installation on poles, walls or rooftops exposed to rain, wind-blown dust and temperature extremes. Without this rating the unit would be unsuitable for unsheltered outdoor deployment.
