HPE J9656A
MSM466 Dual‑Radio 802.11n Wireless Access Point (External Antenna Model) Refurbished
The HPE J9656A (MSM466) Dual‑Radio Wireless Access Point is a refurbished enterprise-grade 802.11n indoor/outdoor AP featuring external Antenna connectors for versatile deployments. Supporting up to 450 Mbps per radio (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), three-stream (3×3:3) MIMO, and PoE power, it’s ideal for environments requiring flexible Antenna placement and robust RF performance—like atriums, warehouses, or industrial zones. The external RP‑SMA connectors accommodate high-gain Antenna , making this model more adaptable than its internal-Antenna counterparts. Professionally tested and certified, this AP delivers reliable, controlled-mode or autonomous Wi‑Fi access for legacy Aruba/MSM infrastructures.
Features
Designed for deployments requiring customized coverage, the MSM466 supports six external RP‑SMA connectors—three per radio—for attaching directional or omni Antenna (indoor connectors) . Each radio delivers up to 450 Mbps using 3‑stream MIMO at 40 MHz channel width, with adaptive channel and power control features like beamforming, band steering, ARM, and ACC to optimize performance in dense RF environments Compatible with Aruba/MSM controllers, it offers enterprise-class security (IDS/IPS), captive portal, VLANs, and up to 16 SSIDs per unit. Powered via PoE, it supports both indoor and sheltered outdoor mounting when paired with compatible Antenna .
Advanced Options
Equipped for rugged or flexible deployments, this AP features external Antenna connectivity, allowing more precise RF coverage via external high-gain Antenna —especially useful indoors or in semi-outdoor spaces
