Wireless Access Points/Bridges

The Aruba 503 Series Access Points (APs) provide cost effective, high-performance connectivity for any organization experiencing device growth due to increased mobility, the shift to cloud, or IoT. With a maximum real-world aggregate data rate of 1.49 Gbps (HE80/HE20), the 503 Series deliver the speed and reliability needed for medium-density venues and workplaces such as schools, midsize offices, and retailers. Each 503 Series AP provides connectivity for a maximum of 256 associated clients per radio (512 in total).

OPTIMIZED USER EXPERIENCE

The 503 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 (HE80), the 503 Series provides the next generation of wireless capabilities for cost-conscious deployments.

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 multiple clients are sharing a channel and not competing for airtime and bandwidth.

Aruba Air Slice™ for application assurance

Aruba Air Slice delivers application assurance in order to optimize the user experience. By allocating radio resources such as time, frequency, and spatial stream to specific traffic types, Aruba APs can provide SLA-grade performance to client devices whether they support Wi-Fi 6 or prior standards.

Aruba Air Slice relies on Aruba's Policy Enforcement Firewall and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to identify user roles and applications so that bandwidth can be dynamically allocated to ensure performance. Air Slice is available for APs running controller-less mode (Instant) and with Aruba Central; controller-based APs will be supported in a future software release.

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.

Resource management with AirMatch

To better support growth in client device density and in data volumes, AirMatch uses machine learning techniques that provide automated radio frequency optimization.

By analyzing the entire wireless network, AirMatch determines the optimum radio configuration and enables the network to automatically adapt in real time to changing RF conditions such as high noise and radar. It also adjusts for higher density, co-channel interference, and coverage gaps.

Aruba Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)

Using built-in filtering, Aruba Advanced Cellular Coexistence automatically minimizes the impact of interference from cellular networks, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and commercial small cell or femtocell equipment.

HPE Aruba Networking 500R Series Remote Access Points enable IT teams to deliver cost-effective Wi-Fi 6 coverage in a compact desktop form factor to hundreds or even thousands of remote workers. With 1.49 Gbps maximum combined speed, these APs are well-suited for small branches and remote work. Two wired ports provide additional device support for work from home and an add-on LTE USB module delivers cellular backhaul capabilities.

Home office/small office use

IT teams are tasked with ensuring a secure and reliable experience for a highly distributed workforce that is accessing data center and cloud-based applications over consumer broadband and cellular connections that are outside IT's control and visibility. With HPE Aruba Networking 500R Series Remote Access Points, managed by HPE Aruba Networking Central, IT can remotely deploy and centrally manage secure network connectivity for hundreds or even thousands of remote workers or small office employees to deliver an in-office experience - without need for a gateway.

Remote workers can connect wireless clients (laptops, smartphones, tablets) as well as wired clients, such as VoIP phones, and access mission-critical applications reliably and securely. As backup, the AP can be used with an LTE dongle inserted into the USB port for uplink redundancy and business continuity.

With HPE Aruba Networking 500R Series Remote Access Points, IT benefits from a unified approach that enables staff to configure, troubleshoot, and optimize network performance across campus, branch, and remote work environments

Built in SD-WAN intelligent route and tunnel orchestration and policy-based routing drive operational efficiencies and optimize network performance. Comprehensive WAN health dashboards assist in troubleshooting problems quickly and boosting user satisfaction.

Ease of deployment and maintenance

With HPE Aruba Networking Central, onboarding, configuring, and provisioning are simpler and require no manual CLI configuration or maintenance windows. Once the AP is plugged in, the device connects and receives its running configuration from the cloud using zero touch provisioning, which allows remote workers and small offices to onboard and configure wireless connectivity without any on-site IT support. To avoid downtime or loss of service caused by upgrades, HPE Aruba Networking Central offers Live Upgrade functionality to reduce maintenance windows and ensure continuous wireless operations. In addition, HPE Aruba Networking 500R Series Remote Access Points ship with a 12V adapter and localized plug and can be powered via DC or a standard USB-C source (15+ watts).

Simplified, flexible consumption

HPE Aruba Networking Central is required to manage HPE Aruba Networking 500R Series Remote Access Points and can be purchased on a per-device subscription. Licenses are available in 1-, 3-, 5-, 7-, and 10-year increments, making it easy for customers to align requirements for AIOps, security, and other desired management features. Foundation licenses provide all primary enterprise features and functionality; while advanced licenses include all foundational features plus enhanced AIOps, WAN Health dashboards, security, and other premium features to deliver an end-to-end solution for managing and optimizing enterprise networks. It is also integrated with HPE GreenLake, providing a consistent operating model and single platform for IT executives to view and manage their compute, storage, and networking infrastructure for unmatched efficiency and improved cost controls.
