FAQ
What Wi-Fi standard does the Aruba AP-565 support?
The Aruba AP-565 supports the 802.11ax wireless standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6. This latest generation of Wi-Fi technology delivers improved network efficiency, higher client density support, reduced latency, and better performance in crowded RF environments compared to previous standards like 802.11ac. The 802.11ax implementation in the AP-565 includes features like OFDMA and Target Wake Time that optimize performance for business applications.
Can this access point be used outdoors?
Yes, the Aruba AP-565 is specifically designed for outdoor deployment. Its ruggedized construction and weather-resistant design allow it to operate reliably in varied environmental conditions including temperature fluctuations, moisture, and dust. The outdoor rating makes it suitable for installation on building exteriors, poles, under eaves, or in other outdoor locations where traditional indoor access points would not be appropriate.
Does the AP-565 support Power over Ethernet?
Yes, the Aruba AP-565 supports both PoE+ (802.3at) and PoE PD (Power over Ethernet Powered Device). This means the access point can receive both power and data connectivity through a single Ethernet cable from a compatible PoE+ switch or injector. PoE+ support simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate power cabling and nearby electrical outlets, which is particularly valuable for outdoor deployments where power access may be limited.
What type of antennas does this access point have?
The Aruba AP-565 features two internal antennas with an integrated design. The internal antenna configuration eliminates the need for external antenna attachments, providing a cleaner aesthetic and simplified installation. Despite being internal, these antennas support MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) and beamforming technologies to optimize signal strength, improve coverage, and support more concurrent clients with stable connections.
What security features are included with this access point?
The Aruba AP-565 includes comprehensive security features with support for multiple encryption standards including WPA3, WPA2, WPA, and WPA2-MPSK. WPA3 represents the latest Wi-Fi security protocol with stronger encryption and protection against brute-force attacks. The access point also supports data encryption and can be integrated with enterprise authentication systems for secure network access control in business environments.
What is the wireless throughput capability of the AP-565?
The Aruba AP-565 delivers a maximum wireless transmission speed of 1.73 Gbit/s across its dual radio bands. This throughput represents the combined capacity available on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. The actual throughput experienced by clients will depend on factors like distance, interference, client capabilities, and network configuration, but the 1.73 Gbit/s maximum provides ample capacity for demanding business applications and high-density client environments.
