HPE Aruba Networking 500R Series Remote Access Points enable IT teams to deliver cost-effective Wi-Fi 6 coverage in a compact desktop form factor to hundreds or even thousands of remote workers. With 1.49 Gbps maximum combined speed, these APs are well-suited for small branches and remote work. Two wired ports provide additional device support for work from home and an add-on LTE USB module delivers cellular backhaul capabilities.

HOME OFFICE/SMALL OFFICE USE

IT teams are tasked with ensuring a secure and reliable experience for a highly distributed workforce that is accessing data center and cloud-based applications over consumer broadband and cellular connections that are outside IT's control and visibility. With HPE Aruba Networking 500R Series Remote Access Points, managed by HPE Aruba Networking Central, IT can remotely deploy and centrally manage secure network connectivity for hundreds or even thousands of remote workers or small office employees to deliver an in-office experience - without need for a gateway.

Remote workers can connect wireless clients (laptops, smartphones, tablets) as well as wired clients, such as VoIP phones, and access mission-critical applications reliably and securely. As backup, the AP can be used with an LTE dongle inserted into the USB port for uplink redundancy and business continuity.

With HPE Aruba Networking 500R Series Remote Access Points, IT benefits from a unified approach that enables staff to configure, troubleshoot, and optimize network performance across campus, branch, and remote work environments. Built in SD-WAN intelligent route and tunnel orchestration and policy-based routing drive operational efficiencies and optimize network performance. Comprehensive WAN health dashboards assist in troubleshooting problems quickly and boosting user satisfaction.

EASE OF DEPLOYMENT AND MAINTENTANCE

With HPE Aruba Networking Central, onboarding, configuring, and provisioning are simpler and require no manual CLI configuration or maintenance windows. Once the AP is plugged in, the device connects and receives its running configuration from the cloud using zero touch provisioning, which allows remote workers and small offices to onboard and configure wireless connectivity without any on-site IT support. To avoid downtime or loss of service caused by upgrades, HPE Aruba Networking Central offers Live Upgrade functionality to reduce maintenance windows and ensure continuous wireless operations. In addition, HPE Aruba Networking 500R Series Remote Access Points ship with a 12V adapter and localized plug and can be powered via DC or a standard USB-C source (15+ watts).
