HPE Aruba AP-585

The AP-585 is IP66/67 certified, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand powerful water jets and temporary submersion. Its ruggedized design is specifically engineered to operate reliably in harsh outdoor environments, including extreme temperature fluctuations and exposure to moisture.

Yes, it includes integrated Bluetooth and Zigbee radios. This allows you to connect and manage IoT sensors and devices directly through the access point without needing separate gateways for those protocols.

The AP-585 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and features dual redundant power inputs. This redundancy is critical for maintaining uptime in industrial settings, ensuring the device stays operational even if one power source fails.

Absolutely. With support for the 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) standard and aggregate data rates up to 2.97Gbps, it is built to handle heavy traffic loads. It also uses AI-powered signal steering to optimize client connections, ensuring consistent performance even when many devices are connected simultaneously.

The unit is designed for versatility and can be mounted on walls, poles, or ceilings. Given its weight of 11.55 lbs, ensure your mounting surface is secure and rated to support the hardware's dimensions and weight.

No, the AP-585 does not support mesh networking. It is designed to be a high-performance, hardwired access point, so you will need to ensure each unit has a direct Ethernet connection to your network infrastructure.
