FAQ
What wireless standards does the Aruba AP-615 support?
The Aruba AP-615 supports the 802.11ax standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6, which provides improved efficiency, higher data rates, and better performance in dense client environments compared to previous Wi-Fi generations. It operates across tri-band frequencies (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) to accommodate a wide range of devices and applications.
Does this access point support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the AP-615 includes a PoE PD (Power over Ethernet Powered Device) port, allowing it to receive both electrical power and network data over a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate power outlet near the mounting location, which is especially useful for ceiling or wall deployments.
What is the maximum wireless throughput of the AP-615?
The AP-615 delivers an aggregate wireless transmission speed of up to 3.60 Gbit/s across its tri-band radios. This high throughput supports bandwidth-intensive tasks such as 4K video streaming, large file transfers, and real-time collaboration tools without network congestion.
How is the AP-615 typically mounted?
