Multivendor, on-premises campus network management
Learn More
Aruba AirWave is a versatile network management system (NMS) for enterprise campus wired, wireless, and remote connectivity. Supporting a wide range of features such as zero-touch provisioning, enhanced client visibility, traffic analysis, reporting and multivendor integration, AirWave is ideally suited to manage Aruba and third-party network devices.
Deployed as a purpose-built hardware or virtual machine image, each AirWave server supports up to 4,000 network devices (access points, switches, and controllers).
For organizations with the need for more flexible services, higher scale and performance, learn about the next generation management capabilities of Aruba Central, an AI-powered network operations, analytics and security solution that can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises.
STREAMLINED CONFIGURATION AND DEPLOYMENT
AirWave utilizes configuration groups, assigned templates, and step by step workflows to simplify device configuration. Entire config files can be imported, compared, assigned and archived. Modifying and using smaller segments of configuration files across groups of devices is also supported.
These capabilities allow IT to quickly add, modify and deploy devices across distributed locations, while saving time and minimizing mistakes. Aruba's Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) can be used to automatically push configuration files to devices to further simplify the deployment process. Integrated auditing is also provided for security and change management.
CONTACT TRACING AND LOCATION TRACING
Historical Wi-Fi location data from AirWave can be exported, analyzed, and displayed using Aruba Central or a third-party data analysis tool. This includes simple search queries can be run on a per-client basis to identify nearby clients and contact duration. This is intended to expediently provide data for appropriate enterprise and public health entities to manage and counteract potential COVID-19 outbreaks. -

HPE AP-387 IEEE 802.11ac/ad 3.37 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point - TAA Compliant - 5 GHz - MIMO Technology - 1 x Network (RJ-45) - Gigabit Ethernet - Pole-mountable, Wall Mountable, Ceiling Mountable
Weatherproof and temperature-hardened, the Aruba 387 Series Access Points deliver multi-gigabit per second aggregate throughput at distances up to 400 meters (or 0.25 miles).
With the ever-growing number of IoT devices, demand for reliable connectivity is rising - not just in traditional carpeted enterprises but also in outdoor use cases such as enabling connectivity across buildings on the same campus, adjacent structures (e.g. parking garage or annex), and remote or temporary event sites.
Point-to-point wireless solutions offer an attractive option for connecting two sites together where the right of way is difficult to obtain - or as a backup or recovery link for existing connections. But legacy point-to-point solutions can be expensive and vulnerable to inclement weather conditions. They can also require highly skilled workers for AP installation and alignment.
EXTREME WEATHER RESILIENCY AND RANGETo solve these challenges, the 387 Series AP is designed with the resiliency needed during inclement weather and to survive harsh conditions. The 387 Series AP can withstand up to 165 mph winds and tolerate water, dust, and salt sprays for extended periods of time, and also provide connectivity at up to 400 meters. Should weather cause the 387 Series to become misaligned, Aruba's 60GHz radios can automatically adjust and align the point-to-point connection.
The 5GHz radio is also bonded with the 802.11ad radio to provide: 1) a boost in throughput in good conditions, and 2) intelligent fallback if the 60GHz radio is impacted by heavy rainfall.SIMPLE, COST-EFFECTIVE DEPLOYMENT
From a deployment standpoint, the auto-adjustment feature can dramatically simplify labor requirements by eliminating the need for precision AP alignments during installation or weather impacts. APs can intelligently form links based on optimal parameters up to +/- 45 degrees azimuth* and +/- 17 degrees elevation. The 5GHz radio uses a fixed sector to cover the same range.
IOT-READY
Like all Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs, the 387 Series includes an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio to simplify the deployment and management of location services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT sensors. This allows organizations to leverage the 360 Series as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources.
ARUBA SECURE INFRASTRUCTURE
The Aruba 387 Series includes components of Aruba's 360 Secure Fabric 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.
WPA 2-MPSKMPSK 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. Requires ClearPass Policy Manager.
VPN Tunnels
In Remote AP (RAP) and IAP-VPN deployments, the Aruba 387 Series can be used to establish a secure SSL/IPSec VPN tunnel to a 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 and keys, and boot code.

Aruba AP-518 Dual Band 802.11ax 4.80 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point - Indoor - 2.40 GHz, 5 GHz - External - MIMO Technology - 2 x Network (RJ-45) - 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet - Bluetooth 5 - IP55
High performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for harsh weather-protected and indoor environments
Learn More
The hardened, Aruba 518 Series access point delivers high Wi-Fi 6 performance in harsh, weather-protected environments such as warehouses, industrial freezers or enclosures in extreme environments such as stadiums. It delivers 4x4:4SS MU-MIMO capability, Aruba's advanced ClientMatch and integrated Bluetooth to enable Aruba location services.
Purpose-built to survive in the harshest outdoor environments, 518 Series APs withstand exposure to extreme high and low temperatures, persistent (non-precipitant) moisture, and are sealed to keep out airborne contaminants. All electrical interfaces include industrial strength surge protection.
Aruba Wi-Fi 6 access points provide high-performance connectivity in dense mobile and IoT environments. With maximum aggregate on air data rate of 3 Gbps (HE80/HE40), the 518 Series APs deliver the speed and reliability needed for demanding environments.
INCREDIBLE EFFICIENCY
The 518 Series APs are designed to optimize user experience by maximizing Wi-Fi efficiency and dramatically reducing airtime contention between clients.
Features include Uplink and Downlink Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Downlink Multi-User MIMO (MU MIMO) and cellular co-location. With up to 4 spatial stream and 160 MHz channel capability, the 518 provides groundbreaking wireless capabilities for any application.
Advantages of OFDMA
This capability allows Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs to handle multiple Wi-Fi 6 enabled clients simultaneously on a single radio. Channel utilization is optimized per transaction by matching allocated bandwidth in a channel to the offered user load. These sub divisions of the channel are referred to as Resource Units (RU).
Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO)
The 518 Series APs support downlink MU-MIMO similar to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) APs. With the introduction OFDMA in Wi-Fi 6, the overhead for this capability is reduced and MU-MIMO effectiveness is substantially improved for large client counts.
Wi-Fi 6 and MU-MIMO aware client optimization
Aruba's patented AI powered ClientMatch technology ensures that all clients are attached to their best serving Access Point. Session metrics, network metrics, applications and client type are used to identify and maintain the best connection.
Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
The ACC feature uses built in filtering to automatically minimize the impact of interference of high power cellular base stations, in building distributed antenna systems as well as small cell and femtocell equipment. -
