Aruba AP-505H (RW) Wifi 6 Remote Access Points Hospitality (R3V46A)

Premium Wi-Fi 6 Connectivity and Multi-Port Switching Purpose-Built for Hospitality, Remote Work, and Micro-Branches

Deliver enterprise-grade wireless speeds alongside hardwired local switching in one sleek, wall-mountable profile. The Aruba AP-505H RW Wi-Fi 6 Remote Access Point (R3V46A) is a multi-functional, unified hospitality access point engineered to meet modern, high-density device demands. Perfect for premium hotel rooms, clinic exam spaces, student dormitories, and home-based executive offices, this dual-radio 802.11ax access point maximizes spatial efficiency. It functions simultaneously as an advanced Wi-Fi router, an integrated 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch featuring PoE out, and an IoT gateway to manage smart room components effortlessly.

Key Features & Benefits

• Blazing-Fast Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Performance: Combines a maximum aggregate data rate of 1.5 Gbps (1.2 Gbps over 5GHz and 287 Mbps over 2.4GHz) with OFDMA and MU-MIMO architectures to eliminate lag in device-crowded rooms.
• Integrated 4-Port Local Switching Array: Built-in base switch features 4 downstream Gigabit RJ-45 ports to plug in hardwired local assets like smart IPTVs, VoIP desk phones, or printing hubs without adding a second desk switch.
• Convenient PoE Downstream Output: Port E1 is engineered with PoE out (Power over Ethernet) capability, letting you route power directly into downstream peripherals like IP phones, cutting out external wall-wart power adapters.
• Unified IoT-Ready Radio Framework: Native Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0) and Zigbee radios are built straight into the core chassis, simplifying the layout of proximity sensors, asset trackers, and automated hospitality smart-locks.
• Aruba ClientMatch Optimization: Continually groups roaming mobile clients onto the single best-performing radio band and nearby access point, preventing "sticky clients" from reducing overall channel performance.
• Versatile Deployment Flexibilities: Can be set up as a controllerless Instant AP cluster managed locally, a cloud-coordinated element via Aruba Central, or a secure remote workplace micro-branch endpoint.
