Description
HPE Aruba AP503 R8M95A Access Points
Hardware variants
- AP-503: Campus AP platform, integrated antennas
Wi-Fi radio specifications
- AP type: Indoor, dual-radio, 2.4GHz and 5GHz (dual concurrent) 802.11ax 2×2 MIMO
- 2.4GHz radio: Two spatial stream Single User (SU) MIMO for up to 574Mbps wireless data rate with 2SS HE40 802.11ax client devices (287Mbps for HE20)
- 5GHz radio: Two spatial stream Single User (SU) MIMO for up to 1.2Gbps wireless data rate with 2SS HE80 802.11ax client devices
- Up to 256 associated client devices per radio, and up to 16 BSSIDs per radio
Wi-Fi antennas
- AP-503: Integrated downtilt omni-directional antennas for 2×2 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 1.7dBi in 2.4GHz and 4.8dBi in 5GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees.
- Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the combined, average pattern is 1.5dBi in 2.4GHz and 3.9dBi in 5GHz.
Other interfaces
- E0: Ethernet wired network port (RJ-45)
- Auto-sensing link speed (10/100/1000BASE-T) and MDI/MDX
- POE-PD: 48Vdc (nominal) 802.3af POE (class 3 or higher)
- 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
- USB 2.0 host interface (Type A connector) Capable of sourcing up to 100mA / 500mW to an attached device
Mounting details
- A generic mount bracket to attach the AP-503 to suspended ceiling rails ships with the AP. Alternate or spare brackets can be ordered separately; see the 503 Series Ordering Guide for details.
