Description

The Aruba AP-518 (RW) is a hardened Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) indoor access point built for harsh, weather-protected environments such as warehouses and industrial freezers. It delivers dual-radio 4x4:4 MU-MIMO on 5 GHz and 2x2:2 on 2.4 GHz, with six external RP-SMA connectors so you can match antennas to the coverage pattern you need. This RW (Rest of World) regulatory domain variant is supplied for deployments outside the Americas and Japan.

Two Ethernet ports, including a 2.5GBASE-T uplink, let the AP-518 carry multi-gigabit Wi-Fi 6 traffic back to the network, and it is powered over 802.3at PoE+. Integrated Bluetooth 5 and a USB interface extend its use to location services and IoT. It supports both ArubaOS and Instant OS management, and its -40 to 55 degrees C operating range suits cold-storage and industrial sites.
