HPE Q9H73-61001

Aruba (AP‑515 US) – 510 Series Wi‑Fi 6 Campus Wireless Access Point

The HPE Aruba AP‑515 (US variant Q9H73‑61001) is a high-capacity indoor access point engineered for Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) performance. Featuring a 4×4 MIMO radio at 5 GHz and a 2×2 MIMO radio at 2.4 GHz, it delivers up to 4.8 Gbps on 5 GHz and 575 Mbps on 2.4 GHz (aggregate ~5.4 Gbps). This model includes a 2.5 GbE “SmartRate” Ethernet data port and a standard 1 GbE port, plus USB and console interfaces. With integrated Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios, it supports IoT and location services. Aruba ClientMatch and Dynamic Segmentation technologies optimize performance and security across wired, wireless, and IoT devices—making it ideal for campus, retail, education, and branch environments

Features

The AP‑515 is part of the Aruba 510 Series indoor campus access points delivering high-efficiency Wi‑Fi 6 functionality in medium-density deployments. Leveraging OFDMA and MU‑MIMO, it efficiently serves many devices simultaneously with reduced latency. Its 4×4 spatial streams in the 5 GHz band support up to 4.8 Gbps aggregate throughput, while the 2×2 stream at 2.4 GHz delivers up to 575 Mbps Connectivity includes one 2.5 GbE SmartRate RJ‑45 port and one 1 GbE RJ‑45 port, both supporting PoE+ power delivery (Class 4). The AP is powered via PoE or optional DC input, with USB Type‑A and micro‑USB console ports for flexible deployment configurations The integrated Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radio systems support IoT use cases like asset tracking and location-based services. Aruba ClientMatch algorithm dynamically balances client associations, and ARM (Adaptive Radio Management) auto-optimizes RF channels and power. It supports Aruba features such as LiveUpgrade, Airmatch, and Controller Clustering for high resilience and ease of management

Advanced Options

Designed for robust campus deployment, the AP‑515 supports up to 256 clients per radio (recommended 150), and up to 16 SSIDs per radio, facilitating dense wireless environments such as enterprises, schools, and hotels Aruba Gen8 ASIC and AOS‑CX-based firmware offer features like AirMatch machine learning RF optimization, LiveUpgrade non-disruptive updates, and centralized management via Aruba Central, AirWave™, or on-premises controllers The built-in ARM and ClientMatch technologies steer clients intelligently to reduce interference and sticky-client issues, improving throughput and user experience. . PoE power management adapts to power source availability: under 802.3af with IPM enabled, it restricts features like USB and 5 GHz bandwidth to manage consumption; full PoE+ or DC input preserves full functionality
