HPE Aruba AP-555 — 8×8/4×4 Wi-Fi 6 Campus Access Point

The HPE Aruba AP-555 (JZ356A, RW variant) is a high-performance dual-radio 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) access point with internal antennas, engineered for dense enterprise, campus, hospitality, and high-capacity deployments across the UAE and GCC. With support for up to 5.37 Gbps combined throughput, optional tri-radio mode, multi-gig uplinks, and integrated IoT radios (Bluetooth 5 & Zigbee), it is ideal for demanding network environments in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and beyond.

Key Features & Benefits

Technical Specifications

• Radio configuration: Dual 802.11ax radios — 5 GHz with 8×8 MIMO, 2.4 GHz with 4×4 MIMO ([JZ356A datasheet])
• Aggregate throughput: Up to 5.37 Gbps combining both radios in dual mode
• Ethernet uplinks:
  • E0: SmartRate port up to 5 Gbps (PoE-PD)
  • E1: 1 Gbps port; supports link aggregation (LACP)
• Power: Supports PoE (802.3at/at/bt) and 48V DC; if both, DC is preferred. Devices may combine PoE from both ports if needed with Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) features
• Clients & BSSIDs: Up to 1,024 associated clients per radio; up to 16 BSSIDs per radio Modulation & bandwidth: Supports HE80/HE160, 1024-QAM, full OFDMA, MU-MIMO
• Tri-radio mode: Optional mode with two 5 GHz radios + one 2.4 GHz radio (all 4×4 MIMO) for ultra-high density deployment
• IoT radios: Built-in Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee 802.15.4 for IoT, asset tracking, and location services
• Security & segmentation: WPA3, Enhanced Open, TPM for credential protection, Dynamic Segmentation (policy enforcement)
• LED/System indicators, reset, console port, USB host port support (for accessories e.g. cellular dongles)
• Operating environment, temperature, certifications: Plenum rating (UL2043), regulatory certifications, etc.

Why Choose It in Dubai & GCC

• 8×8 / 4×4 radios support extreme device density — ideal for busy offices, auditoriums, large public venues in UAE
• Multi-gig uplinks prevent bottlenecks when many users connect to APs in backbone networks in Dubai projects
• Tri-radio support allows extra capacity in heavy-load areas like conference halls or lecture theaters
• Built-in IoT radios (BLE/Zigbee) reduce hardware overhead for smart building initiatives across GCC
• Aruba’s RF intelligence (ClientMatch, AirMatch, ACC) optimizes performance in interference-rich environments of urban UAE
• Flexible powering via PoE or DC ensures compatibility with varying site power constraints found in GCC renovation projects
• Full security stack and segmentation capabilities support enterprise compliance, regulatory, and isolation needs
