HPE Aruba Networking 550 Series Campus Access Points
The HPE Aruba Networking 550 Series Campus Access Points provide high-performance Wi-Fi 6 connectivity to mobile and IoT devices in high density environments. Providing up to 5.37 Gbps combined aggregate data rate with dual radios and optional tri-radio mode, this series is built on Wi-Fi 6 standards (IEEE 802.11ax) and includes features such as OFDMA, bidirectional MU-MIMO, and target wait time (TWT) for better multi-user performance and improved efficiency. This series can be deployed using Zero Touch Provisioning, without on‑site technical expertise, for ease of implementation in branch offices and for remote work. HPE Aruba Networking Central provides a single pane of glass for overseeing wired and wireless LANs, WANs, and VPNs. AI‑powered analytics, end‑to‑end orchestration and automation, and advanced

Wi-Fi antenna
Integrated downtilt omni-directional antennas for 4x4 MIMO in 2.4 GHz with peak antenna gain of 4.3 dBi, and 8x8 MIMO in 5 GHz with peak antenna gain of 5.8 dBi in 5 GHz.<br /> In tri-radio mode, the peak gain of the antennas for each of the 4x4 5 GHz radios is 5.5 dBi (radio 0L, lower half of 5GHz) and 5.6 dBi (radio 0U, upper half of 5 GHz). <br /> Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees.
Power consumption
Maximum (worst-case) power consumption (dual-radio operation):<br /> DC powered: 32.6W<br /> PoE powered (802.3bt or dual 802.3at): 38.2W<br /> PoE powered (802.3at, IPM disabled): 25.1W<br /> All numbers above are without an external USB device connected. When sourcing the full 5W power budget to such a device, the incremental (worst-case) power consumption for the AP is up to 6.0W (PoE powered) or 5.4W (DC powered).<br /> Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode (dual-radio operation): 15.0W (PoE) or 15.1W (DC)<br /> Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in deep-sleep mode: 3.8W(PoE) or 3.6W (DC)
Radio coverage
AP type: Indoor, dual/tri-radio, 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz 802.11ax 4x4 MIMO<br /> 5 GHz radio (dual-radio operation): Eight spatial stream HE80 (or 4SS HE160) MIMO for up to 4.8 Gbps wireless data rate<br /> 5 GHz radio (tri-radio operation): Four spatial stream HE80 (or 2SS HE160) MIMO for up to 2.4 Gbps wireless data rate<br /> 2.4 GHz radio: Four spatial stream HE40 (HE20) MIMO for up to 1,147 Mbps (574Mbps)
