Product image shows a rugged outdoor enclosure with integrated antenna dome, eliminating the need for external antennas. The device measures 27 x 23 x 24 cm and includes mounting hardware for pole or wall installation.

The HPE Aruba Networking AP-575 (RW) is a rugged outdoor Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave2) access point from the Aruba 570 Series, featuring integrated directional antennas for simplified deployment in outdoor environments. This design eliminates the complexity of external antenna selection and installation while delivering reliable performance for stadiums, public venues, industrial sites, and smart city deployments.
The AP-575 features integrated directional antennas with 90°H x 90°V beamwidth, providing focused coverage ideal for pathways, building perimeters, and targeted outdoor areas. Antenna gain is 6.4 dBi on 2.4 GHz and 6.3 dBi on 5 GHz, ensuring robust signal propagation. The dual-radio configuration with 4x4 MIMO on 5 GHz and 2x2 MIMO on 2.4 GHz delivers up to 2.69 Gbps aggregate throughput.
The IP67-rated 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-575 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.
