Reasons To Buy

Better Performance with Wi-Fi 6

HPE Aruba Networking 503 Series Campus Access Points deliver a maximum speed of 1.49 Gbps with up to 2 spatial streams and 80 MHz channels (HE80).
Wi‐Fi CERTIFIED with support for Wi-Fi 6 features such as OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and target wait time (TWT) to drive improved efficiency. Handles multiple Wi-Fi 6 clients on each channel simultaneously, regardless of device or traffic type.
Enhanced wireless experience with HPE Aruba Networking ClientMatch technology removes sticky client issues by steering a client to the AP where it receives a good radio signal.

Flexible Management and Simplified Access

HPE Aruba Networking 503 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.
Quick and easy deployment at branch offices or remote work sites without on-site technical expertise using zero touch provisioning (ZTP).
It provides seamless support for Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee wireless protocols using an optional IoT expansion radio (purchase separately).

Secure Access

HPE Aruba Networking 503 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.
The target wake time (TWT), part of Wi-Fi 6, establishes a schedule for client communications to save power and reduce airtime contention.
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 (PEFs).
The PEF automatically applies policies based on user role, device type, applications and location and dynamically segments traffic.
For enhanced device assurance, the APs include an installed trusted platform module (TPM) for protected storage of credentials and keys, and boot code.

Description
