Aruba 550 Series

Overview

The Aruba 550 Series access points are designed for mission-critical, ultra-high-density enterprise environments such as stadiums, large campuses, auditoriums, warehouses, and smart buildings. It delivers exceptional performance for both mobile and IoT workloads.

Wi-Fi 6 Extreme Performance

The 550 Series supports IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) with a dual-radio architecture combining 8x8 MU-MIMO (5 GHz) and 4x4 MU-MIMO (2.4 GHz). It delivers significantly higher throughput and efficiency compared to previous Wi-Fi generations.

Ultra-High Throughput

The system provides up to 4.8 Gbps (5 GHz) and up to 1.15 Gbps (2.4 GHz), enabling multi-gigabit wireless performance suitable for dense client environments.

Optional Tri-Radio Mode

The AP supports tri-radio operation, allowing simultaneous optimization of multiple 5 GHz streams for improved capacity and reduced congestion in extreme-density deployments.

AI-Powered RF Optimization

Features Aruba AI-driven technologies such as ClientMatch, AirMatch, and Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) that automatically optimize client distribution, channel allocation, and RF performance.

Advanced IoT Integration

Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0) and Zigbee (802.15.4) radios support IoT applications including asset tracking, indoor navigation, smart sensors, and building automation systems.

Enterprise Security

Includes WPA3, secure boot, TPM-based hardware security, encrypted tunneling, and role-based access control for advanced enterprise protection.

High Client Density Support

Supports up to 1,024 associated clients per radio, making it ideal for extremely dense deployments with heavy concurrent usage.

Energy Efficiency

Includes AI-powered Green AP mode that can reduce power consumption significantly while maintaining performance.
