Product Overview

The HP Aruba AP-518 (RW) is a robust and versatile indoor wireless access point built to meet the connectivity needs of demanding commercial or industrial environments. Supporting both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, this dual-radio unit leverages advanced 4x4 and 2x2 MIMO technology to deliver reliable and high-throughput Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) performance. Designed to be TAA-compliant and hardened, it is ideal for deployments requiring strict regulatory adherence and greater physical resilience.

This access point includes two Ethernet ports: one HPE SmartRate RJ-45 port that auto-negotiates up to 2.5 Gbps per IEEE 802.3bz and NBASE-T standards, and one 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 port. Power options include IEEE 802.3at PoE or direct DC via an optional power supply, with a total power consumption of 25.6W. With compact physical dimensions of 211 mm in width and depth and 70 mm in height, the Aruba AP-518 is designed for easy mounting and integration into space-constrained environments.

A limited lifetime warranty backs the product, ensuring peace of mind in long-term deployments. These features, combined with HP Aruba's reputable quality, make the AP-518 a solid choice for organizations looking to expand their indoor wireless coverage with rugged, high-performance solutions.
