HPE AP-654 Tri Band Wi-Fi 6E IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax 7.80 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point - Indoor

Flagship offering with the performance to meet growing enterprise needs with Wi-Fi 6E

By leveraging the 6 GHz band, Aruba 650 Series Campus APs delivers peak performance and far greater capacity than previous generations of Wi-Fi. With up to 1200 MHz of new channels, capacity is nearly tripled - so you can meet growing demand due to bandwidth-hungry video, increasing numbers of client and IoT devices and growth in cloud. Unique to Aruba, the 650 Series includes ultra tri-band filtering to minimize channel interference and dual configurable 5 Gbps ethernet ports to eliminate coverage gaps, provide greater resiliency, and deliver fast, secure connectivity.

MORE CAPACITY AND WIDER CHANNELS

The 650 Series APs are designed to take advantage of the 6 GHz band, which translates into far greater speeds, wider channels for multi-gigabit traffic, and less interference. The three 4x4 MIMO radios of the platform deliver a combined peak datarate of up to 7.8 Gbps.

Advantages of 6 GHz

Wi-Fi 6E provides up to 1200 MHz in the 6 GHz band for higher throughput and improved application performance. With up to seven 160 MHz channels, Wi-Fi 6E can better support low-latency, bandwidth hungry applications like high-definition video and artificial reality/virtual reality applications. Only Wi-Fi 6E capable devices can use the 6 GHz band so there is no interference or slowdowns due to legacy devices.

Device class support

For operation in the 6 GHz band, the 650 Series APs are part of the low power indoor (LPI) device class. This fixed indooronly class uses lower power levels and does not require an Automated Frequency Coordination service (AFC) to manage incumbent outdoor services which is required for standard class APs.

The connectorized models will typically operate as Standard Power access points, but may also be allowed to operate as Low Power Indoor devices in some countries.

LESS INTERFERENCE

650 Series Access Points include Aruba's ultra tri-band filtering, which enables enterprises to take advantage of the entire 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands without experiencing interference, while operating on any channel in either band concurrently. or islands. Since there is only 50 MHz between 5 GHz and the 6 GHz, without advanced filtering, enterprises would likely experience problems between the bands and would therefore be limited in the number of channels available. By applying advanced filtering capabilities, enterprises can take full use of available spectrum without creating coverage gaps

BUSINESS CONTINUITY

The Series 650 APs provide high availability with two HPE Smart Rate ethernet ports for hitless failover for both data and power. Configurable to 1, 2.5, or 5 Gbps, these dual ports provide business continuity for mission critical applications.

GLOBAL READINESS

While the need for more Wi-Fi capacity is recognized across the globe, countries are approaching 6 GHz differently. The 650 Series APs are set up to automatically update regulatory rules once 6E regulations have been approved and certified.

EXTEND THE BENEFITS OF WI-FI 6

The 650 Series APs are based on the 802.11ax standard, which means that all its efficiency and security enhancements are also available on the 6 GHz band. Wi-Fi 6 features such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), BSS coloring, Enhanced Open, and WPA3 are fully supported on the Aruba Wi-Fi 6E access points as well.
