Overview

The HPE Aruba Networking 510 Series Campus Access Points deliver Wi-Fi 6 coverage ideal for office spaces, training and meeting facilities, and hospitals. With 2.69 Gbps maximum combined data rate, multi-gigabit Ethernet for fast wired connectivity, and built-in Internet of Things (IoT) radio, the 510 series delivers reliable, high-performance Wi‑Fi CERTIFIED® for medium density campus environments. The 510 series can be deployed using zero touch provisioning (ZTP) for ease of implementation at remote locations. It is Wi-Fi and supports 802.11ax features: OFDMA for multi-user efficiency, target wake time (TWT) to extend the battery life of connected IoT devices, and WPA3 and Enhanced Open for greater password and guest security. The 510 series includes a limited lifetime warranty.

What’s new

• Dynamic segmentation and policy enforcement firewalls (PEF) automatically enforce consistent policies across wired and wireless networks, enhancing user and device security
• It is offered in optional eco-friendly 10-packs
• Wi-Fi 6 AP provides up to 2.69 Gbps maximum combined data rate
• The 510 series supports OFDMA for enhanced multi-user efficiency, and WPA3 and Enhanced Open for greater security
• IoT-ready with Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee support and fast wired connections with 2.5 Gbps Ethernet and 1 Gbps Ethernet ports
• It has client and RF optimization to match clients with the optimal AP and reduce coverage gaps

Features

For enhanced device assurance, the APs include an installed trusted platform module (TPM) for protected storage of credentials and keys, and boot code.

Enhanced wireless experience with HPE Aruba Networking ClientMatch technology removes sticky client issues by steering a client to the AP where it receives the strong radio signal.

It supports fast wired connections with 2.5 Gbps Ethernet and 1 Gbps Ethernet ports.

Wi-Fi 6 Performance Ideal for Campus Deployment

The HPE Aruba Networking 510 Series Campus Access Points deliver a maximum combined data rate of 2.69 Gbps with up to 4 spatial streams (4SS) and 160 MHz channel bandwidth (VHT160).

The 510 series supports Wi-Fi 6 features such as OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and target wait time (TWT) to drive improved efficiency. It handles multiple Wi-Fi 6 capable clients on each channel simultaneously, regardless of device or traffic type.

WPA3 and Enhanced Open (OWE) security increase enterprise-level security by providing stronger guest access protections without increasing complexity.

It offers stronger encryption and authentication with WPA3, protected credentials/keys storage for guest access with Enhanced Open (OWE), and user and IoT access policy enforcement firewalls.

HPE Aruba Networking 510 Series Campus Access Points offer enhanced security with dynamic segmentation to remove the time-consuming and error-prone task of managing complex and static VLANs, ACLs, and subnets by dynamically assigning policies and keeping traffic protected and separated.

Simple and Secure Access

HPE Aruba Networking Central client insights uses deep packet inspection to provide additional context and behavioral information that help verify devices are receiving proper policy enforcement and continuously monitor for rogue devices.

The target wake time (TWT) improves battery life of IoT devices.

The 510 series includes an integrated Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio (for Zigbee support) to simplify deploying and managing IoT-based location services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT sensors.

HPE Aruba Networking 510 Series Campus Access Points can be managed with HPE Aruba Networking Central, an AI-powered solution that simplifies IT operations, improves agility, and reduces costs by unifying management of campus, branch, remote, data center, and IoT networks from one dashboard.
