With a maximum real-world aggregate data rate of 1.49 Gbps (HE80\/HE20), they deliver the speed and reliability needed for venues and workplaces such as schools, midsize offices and retailers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncredible efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HPE Aruba Networking 500 Series APs are also designed to optimize user experience by maximizing Wi-Fi efficiency and dramatically reducing airtime contention between clients. Features include Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), and cellular optimization. With up to 2 spatial streams (2SS) and 80 MHz channel bandwidth (HE80), the 500 Series provides groundbreaking wireless capabilities for budget-conscious deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvantages of OFDMA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis capability allows Aruba’s APs to handle multiple Wi-Fi 6 capable clients on each channel simultaneously, regardless of device or traffic type. Channel utilization is optimized by handling each transaction via smaller sub-carriers or resource units (RUs), which means that clients are sharing a channel and not competing for airtime and bandwidth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHPE Aruba Networking Air Slice for extended application assurance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, APs in controller-less mode (Instant) can provide SLA-grade performance by allocating radio resources, such as time, frequency, and spatial streams, to specific traffic types. By combining Aruba’s Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) and Layer 7 deep packet inspection (DPI) to identify user roles and applications, the APs will dynamically allocate the bandwidth needed. Non-Wi-Fi 6 clients can also benefit. Air Slice for APs uses HPE Aruba Networking Central for management. Controller-based APs will be supported in a future software release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWi-Fi 6 aware client optimization\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAruba’s patented AI-powered ClientMatch technology eliminates sticky client issues by placing Wi-Fi 6 capable devices on the best available AP. Session metrics are used to steer mobile devices to the best AP based on available bandwidth, types of applications being used and traffic type—even as users roam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHPE Aruba Networking Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis feature uses built-in filtering to automatically minimize the impact of interference from cellular networks, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and commercial small cell or femtocell equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntelligent Power Monitoring (IPM)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHPE Aruba Networking APs continuously monitor and report hardware energy consumption.

This allows organizations to leverage the 500 Series as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTarget Wake Time (TWT)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for IoTs that communicate infrequently, TWT establishes a schedule for when clients need to communicate with an AP.
