Aruba AP-735 Tri Band IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be 9.30 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point Indoor S1G40A

For enterprises looking for to deliver secure, high-performance Wi-Fi to users and IoT devices today and in the future, HPE Aruba Networking 730 Series Campus APs extend beyond the Wi-Fi 7 standard to maximize GHz capacity by up to 30%, connect 2X the IoT devices, strengthen security across wired and wireless, and enable highly accurate location-aware capabilities. Unique to HPE Aruba Networking, the 730 Series APs includes Ultra Tri-Band (UTB) filtering and dual 5 Gbps Ethernet ports to eliminate coverage gaps, provide greater resiliency, and deliver fast, secure connectivity. Intelligent automation, AI insights, and unified infrastructure management, provided by HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (AOS-10) and HPE Aruba Networking Central, help drive efficient IT operations.

More capacity and wider channels

The HPE Aruba Networking 730 Series Campus APs are designed to take advantage of the 6 GHz band via three dedicated radios, which translates into far greater speeds, wider channels for multi-gigabit traffic, and less interference. It delivers up to 9.3 Gbps maximum tri-band aggregate data rate, using three 2x2 MIMO radios (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz).

To further increase the wireless capacity, the 2.4 GHz radio can be reconfigured to deliver an optional dual-5 GHz or dual-6 GHz mode, which further increases the maximum aggregate data rate to 14.4 Gbps in dual 6 GHz mode.

Wi-Fi 7 standard

The new Wi-Fi 7 standard (802.11be) extends the capabilities of Wi-Fi 6E, including the use of the 6 GHz band. New capabilities include wide 320 MHz bandwidth channels, multi-link operation (MLO) for channel aggregation across different bands and failover, and 4096 QAM (4K QAM) for higher peak data rates.

Advantages of 6 GHz

Wi-Fi 7 takes advantage of up to 1200 MHz in the 6 GHz band for higher throughput and improved application performance. With up to three 320 MHz channels or seven 160 MHz channels, Wi-Fi 7 can better support low-latency, bandwidth hungry applications like high-definition video and artificial reality/virtual reality applications. Only Wi-Fi 6E or 7 capable devices can use the 6 GHz band so there is no interference or slowdowns due to legacy devices.

Device class support

HPE Aruba Networking AP-735 Campus APs with integrated antennas are part of the Low Power Indoor (LPI) device class. This fixed indoor-only class uses lower power levels and does not require an Automated Frequency Coordination service (AFC) to manage incumbent outdoor services which is required for standard class APs. The AP-734 connectorized models will typically operate as Standard Power access points but may also be allowed to operate as Low Power Indoor devices in some countries.

Less interference

HPE Aruba Networking 730 Series Campus APs include HPE Aruba Networking's patented Ultra Tri-band filtering, which enables enterprises to take advantage of the high end of 5 GHz with the lower end of 6 GHz without experiencing interference.Since there is only 50 MHz between 5 GHz and 6 GHz, without advanced filtering, enterprises would likely experience problems between the bands and would therefore be limited in the number of channels available. By applying advanced filtering capabilities, enterprises can fully utilize the available spectrum without creating coverage gaps or islands
