The HPE Aruba Networking 518 Series Hardened Access Points deliver high performance Wi-Fi 6 connectivity in harsh, weather-protected environments such as warehouses, industrial freezers or enclosures in extreme environments such as stadiums. With Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4/Zigbee radios, and maximum aggregate data rate of 3 Gbps, the 518 series delivers the speed and reliability needed to bring Wi-Fi 6 to challenging environments. These ruggedized Wi-Fi 6 access points (APs) are ready to survive high wind, extreme temperatures, and moisture and can be quickly deployed using zero touch provisioning (ZTP). HPE Aruba Networking Central provides a single pane of glass for overseeing wired and wireless LANs, WANs, and VPNs. AI‐powered analytics, end‐to‐end orchestration and automation, and advanced security features are built natively into the solution. The 518 series includes a limited lifetime warranty.
