The HPE Aruba Networking 650 Series Campus Access Points are our flagship Wi-Fi 6E access points (APs) that take advantage of the 6 GHz band for greater capacity, wider channels, and interference-free spectrum. Designed to meet the demands of bandwidth-hungry video, a growing numbers of client and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and the growth of cloud services, these high-performance Wi-Fi 6E APs provide comprehensive tri-band coverage across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz to deliver up to 7.8 Gbps combined aggregate data rate. The 650 series includes ultra tri-band (UTB) filtering to help minimize channel interference and dual configurable 5 Gbps Ethernet ports to mitigate coverage gaps, provide greater resiliency, and deliver fast, secure connectivity. Up to seven 160 MHz channels in 6 GHz support low-latency, bandwidth-hungry applications such as high-definition video and AR/VR applications. The 650 series includes a limited lifetime warranty.
What is new supporting point: Flagship Wi-Fi 6E APs provide tri-band coverage across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz to deliver up to 7.8 Gbps combined aggregate data rate 4×4 MIMO radios to deliver peak performance and increased capacity using multi-user (MU-MIMO) and orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) (uplink and downlink for both) Patented UTB filtering enhances the use of 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands Built-in GPS receivers and intelligent software enable APs to self-locate and act as reference points for more accurate indoor location measurements High availability with dual 5 Gbps wired ports for redundant Ethernet and power IoT-ready with support for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Zigbee
