These economical Wi-Fi 6 access points provide
high‑performance connectivity for any organization
experiencing growing mobile, cloud and IoT requirements.
With a wireless aggregate data rate of up to 1.5 Gbps
and gigabit local wired ports, they deliver the range of
connectivity options needed for venues such as hotels,
residence halls, and remote offices alike.
INCREDIBLE EFFICIENCY
The 500H Series APs are 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 80MHz channel bandwidth, the
500H Series provides groundbreaking wireless capabilities
for budget-conscious deployments.
Read the Multi-User 802.11ax white paper for further
information.
Advantages of OFDMA
This 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.
Wi-Fi 6 aware client optimization
Aruba’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.
Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
This 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.
Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM)
Aruba APs continuously monitor and report hardware energy
consumption. They can also be configured to enable or
disable capabilities based on available PoE power – ideal when
wired switches have exhausted their power budget (AP-505H).
IoT PLATFORM CAPABILITIES
Like all Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs, the 500H Series includes an
integrated Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio (for Zigbee support)
to simplify deploying and managing IoT-based location
services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT
sensors. This allows organizations to leverage the 500H Series
as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay
infrastructure and additional IT resources.
Target Wake Time (TWT)
Ideal for IoTs that communicate infrequently, TWT establishes
a schedule for when clients need to communicate with an AP.
This helps improve client power savings and reduces airtime
contention with other clients.
Advanced IoT Coexistence (AIC)
This feature uses built-in filtering to allow Wi-Fi and BLE/
Zigbee radios to operate at maximum capacity without the
impact of interference
ARUBA SECURE INFRASTRUCTURE
The Aruba 500H Series includes security components to
help protect user authentication and wireless traffic. Select
capabilities include:
WPA3 and Enhanced Open
Support for stronger encryption and authentication is
provided via the latest version of WPA for enterprise protected
networks. Enhanced Open offers seamless new protection
for users connecting to open networks where each session is
automatically encrypted to protect user passwords and data
on guest networks.
WPA2-MPSK
MPSK enables simpler passkey management for WPA2
devices – should the Wi-Fi password on one device or device
type change, no additional changes are needed for other
devices. This requires ClearPass Policy Manager.
VPN Tunnels
In Remote AP (RAP) and IAP-VPN deployments, the Aruba
500H Series can be used to establish a secure SSL/IPSec VPN
tunnel to a Gateway or Mobility Controller that is acting as a
VPN concentrator.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
For enhanced device assurance, all Aruba APs have an
installed TPM for secure storage of credentials, keys and
boot code.
SIMPLE AND SECURE ACCESS
To simplify policy enforcement, the Aruba 500H Series uses
Aruba’s Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) to encapsulate all
traffic from the AP to the Mobility Controller (or gateway) for
end-to-end encryption and inspection. Policies are applied
based on user role, device type, applications, and location.
This reduces the manual configuration of SSIDs, VLANs and
ACLs. PEF also serves as the underlying technology for Aruba
Dynamic Segmentation.
HIGH-DENSITY CONNECTIVITY
Each 500H Series AP provides connectivity for a maximum of
256 associated clients per radio (512 in total). In real-world
scenarios, the maximum recommended client density is
dependent on environmental conditions.
VERSATILE INSTALLATION OPTIONS
The APs can be deployed as a wall-mount or for remote
teleworker environments, they can be converted to a deskmount
by using an optional accessory stand.
Aruba also offers a Fiber Media Converter that fits snuggly
alongside Aruba 500H Series Hospitality APs. It can
transparently convert fiber to copper Ethernet, convert DC
power to POE, and extend the reach of the AP.
FLEXIBLE OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT
Our unified APs can operate as standalone access points
or with a gateway for greater scalability, security, and
manageability. APs can be deployed using zero touch
provisioning – without on-site technical expertise – for ease
of implementation in branch offices and for remote work.
Aruba APs can be managed using cloud-based or onpremises
solutions for any campus, branch, or remote work
environment.
As the management and orchestration console for Aruba ESP
(Edge Services Platform), Aruba Central provides a single pane
of glass for overseeing every aspect of wired and wireless
LANs, WANs, and VPNs. AI-powered analytics, end-to-end
orchestration and automation, and advanced security features
are built natively into the solution.
SMALL OFFICE/HOME OFFICE FOR HYBRID WORK
For hybrid environments, EdgeConnect Microbranch
extends the WAN to the small office/home office to deliver
a consistent employee experience no matter where users
are located. EdgeConnect Microbranch offers a suite of
SD-WAN capabilities to optimize performance, security, and
manageability via cloud-based Aruba Central and the Aruba
AP itself. With EdgeConnect Microbranch, organizations
can extend existing remote access point (RAP) capabilities
to benefit from policy-based routing, tunnel and route
orchestration, and SASE integration to cloud security services
such as Zscaler.
For large installations across multiple sites, APs can be
factory-shipped and can be activated with Zero Touch
Provisioning through Aruba Central or AirWave. This reduces
deployment time, centralizes configuration, and helps
manage inventory.
500H Remote AP bundles
To simplify the ordering and distribution of 500H access
points, we offer a number of AP bundles that combine an AP
variant a desk stand, power adapter, and North American
or European power cord. This makes it easier to get remote
workers and small branches up and running quickly.
Wi-Fi radio and platform specifications
5GHz radio Two spatial stream (SU) MIMO for up to 1.2Gbps wireless data rate (HE80)
2.4GHz radio Two spatial stream (SU) MIMO for up to 287Mbps wireless data rate (HE20)
Note: HE40 operation is supported in 2.4GHz, but uncommon and not recommended for enterprise
deployments
Maximum number of associated client devices

Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM)
AP-505H
• Two integrated semi-directional antennas for 2x2 MIMO with peak single antenna gain of 5.2dBi in 2.4GHz and 5.4dBi in 5GHz. Built-in
antennas are optimized for vertical wall or desk mounted orientation of the AP.
