Aruba 550 Series Campus Access Points
802.11ax wireless for extreme-density mobile and IoT deployments
With the increasing number of mobile and IoT devices reliant on wireless access, networks must be capable of accommodating
capacity needs and a diverse mixture of device types, applications and services.
The Aruba 550 Series campus access points with 802.11ax technology are designed to deliver very high performance and
throughput in environments where mobile and IoT density is a growing concern. The 550 Series uses 802.11ax features to
simultaneously serve multiple clients and prioritize different types of traffic to increase data rates for both individual applications
and devices, and the overall network.
The 550 Series includes support for all mandatory and several optional 802.11ax features, which include up
-
and downlink OFDMA
with up to 37 resource u
nits, up- and downlink multi-user MIMO (MU-
MIMO), 8x8 MIMO with up to eight spatial streams in the
5GHz band, and 4x4 MIMO with up to four spatial streams in 2.4GHz, channel bandwidths up to 160MHz (in 5GHz; 40MHz in
2.4GHz), and 1024
-QAM modulation.
The 550 Series supports maximum data rates of 4.8Gbps in the 5GHz band and 1,150Mbps in the 2.4GHz band (for an aggregate
peak data rate of 5.95Gbps). Each AP supports up to 1024 associated client devices per radio, making the high

ideal for extreme high-
density environments, such as large public venues, higher education, hotels and enterprise offices.
In addition to 802.11ax standards, the 550 Series supports unique features such as Aruba ClientMatch radio management and
additional radios for location services and IOT applications. With 4 times the capacity of 802.11ac APs and universal IoT connectivity,
the 550 Series delivers an unsurpassed user experience for today’s all-wireless digital environments.
