The HPE Aruba Networking AP-574 (RW) is a rugged outdoor Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave2) access point from the Aruba 570 Series, designed for organizations requiring reliable outdoor wireless connectivity at a cost-effective price point. Built to survive in harsh outdoor environments, this access point delivers proven performance for parking lots, public venues, industrial sites, and smart city deployments.

The AP-574 features dual-radio Wi-Fi 5 technology delivering up to 2.69 Gbps aggregate throughput. The specific radio configuration includes 4x4 MIMO on 5 GHz and 2x2 MIMO on 2.4 GHz, ensuring robust performance for outdoor applications. Six N-type external antenna connectors allow network operators to customize coverage patterns with antennas optimized for specific deployment scenarios.

The rugged enclosure protects against extreme temperatures (-40°C to +65°C), persistent moisture, precipitation, airborne contaminants, dust, and salt sprays. This ensures reliable operation in coastal areas, industrial facilities, and regions with extreme weather conditions. The device can withstand high wind speeds common in outdoor deployments.

Integrated Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios enable IoT applications such as asset tracking, environmental monitoring, and smart city services without requiring separate infrastructure. The AP-574 can be managed through HPE Aruba Central for cloud-based oversight with AI-powered analytics, or through on-premises controllers, with Zero Touch Provisioning enabling rapid deployment at scale.

The AP-574 delivers reliable, field-tested 802.11ac Wave2 performance at a cost-effective price point, making it ideal for organizations that need outdoor wireless without the premium cost of Wi-Fi 6 technology.

Built to survive in the harshest outdoor environments with protection against extreme temperatures (-40°C to +65°C), persistent moisture, precipitation, airborne contaminants, dust, and salt sprays. This ensures reliable operation in any climate or location.

Six N-type external antenna connectors enable customized coverage patterns for specific deployment scenarios. Network operators can select antennas optimized for omnidirectional coverage in open areas or directional coverage along pathways and building perimeters.

Integrated Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios enable IoT applications without additional infrastructure. The AP-574 can serve as a converged IoT gateway for asset tracking, environmental monitoring, and smart city services.

The Policy Enforcement Firewall automatically enforces consistent security policies across wired and wireless connections based on user identity and device type, eliminating complex VLAN and ACL management while ensuring traffic isolation and protection.

ZTP enables rapid deployment by automatically provisioning new access points without on-site technical expertise. Simply mount and power on the AP, and it connects to Aruba Central or an on-premises controller to download its configuration.

Ideal for providing wireless coverage in outdoor parking areas for security cameras, payment systems, and guest Wi-Fi. The rugged construction ensures reliable operation in all weather conditions.

Perfect for municipal Wi-Fi deployments in parks, plazas, and recreation areas where citizens expect free public internet access. Cost-effective pricing enables broad coverage across large areas.

Supports wireless connectivity in factories, warehouses, and refineries where outdoor areas require reliable coverage for mobile workers and IoT sensors. The rugged enclosure protects against industrial contaminants.

Provides wireless coverage in bus terminals, train stations, and airport outdoor areas where passengers need connectivity while waiting or transferring. The extended temperature range ensures reliable operation year-round.

Temporary wireless coverage for construction sites where rugged equipment is required and cost-effectiveness is important for temporary deployments.
