Aruba AP515 Wi-Fi 6 access point
The Aruba 510 Series consist of the Aruba AP515 Wi-Fi 6 access point, and the AP514 access point. The difference is the AP515 has integrated antennas, while the AP514 has external ones. Check out the datasheet for more information on that. Most of what is said here will apply to both models. Built on Wi-Fi 6 standards, 510 Series APs include features such as OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and Target Wake Time. These give you better multi-user performance and improved efficiency. The Aruba AP515 providea fast gigabit speeds and superb, easy user experience for medium-to-high-density environments.
The 510 series is designed for mid-range density deployments like office spaces, training and meeting facilities, and hospitals.
As with other Aruba APs, you can run the Aruba AP515 either controller-based, or controllerless (Instant) mode.
When deployed with an Aruba Mobility Controller, the Aruba AP515 offers centralized configuration, data encryption, and policy enforcement. It will also give you network services and distributed and centralized traffic forwarding.
In controllerless (Instant) mode, the controller function is virtualized in a cluster of APs. As the network grows or requirements change, Instant deployments can easily migrate to controller-based mode.
Groundbreaking Wi-Fi 6 capabilities
The Aruba AP515 Wi-Fi 6 access point has some pretty impressive features foe an access point in its’ price range. It pushes a real-world frame rate of 2.69 Gbps. It also handles up to 512 associated clients per radio.
Wi-Fi 6 support for OFDMA, MU-MIMO, plus Client Match means the AP515 can handle multiple clients on each channel, regardless of device or traffic type. Client Match 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. It does this even as users roam.
Summary
The Aruba AP515 is excellent for education centers, campuses, lodging, and typical office spaces. It’s great for those who require a large number of access points with simple, intuitive management. And when it comes to Wi-Fi management, Aruba gives you the flexibility to choose. You can use an Instant access point or a controller to manage an entire cluster of access points
