HPE R4W49A – Aruba AP-567 Outdoor WiFi 6 Dual 2×2:2 Access Point
Overview
The HPE R4W49A (Aruba AP-567) is an outdoor-rated wireless access point built for environments where standard indoor gear won’t suffice — think rooftops, open-campus walkways, exterior-mount corridors, industrial yards or retail patios. It supports WiFi 6 (802.11ax) in a dual-radio 2×2:2 MIMO configuration across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The unit is designed for harsh conditions: sealed for outdoor use, protected against moisture, dust, and charged environment (surge) events. It is part of the Aruba 560 Series that emphasises cost-effective outdoor WiFi6 deployment. In practical deployment, this AP suits outdoor coverage zones where you need enterprise-class wireless (with features like OFDMA, MU-MIMO, Bluetooth/802.15.4 IoT radios) but the client density and throughput demands are moderate compared to ultra-high capacity APs.
Key Features
