Usually ready in 24 hours
The ARUBA AP-505 (RW) Unified AP is an enterprise-grade wireless access point designed to deliver reliable, secure Wi‑Fi in dense environments. As part of Aruba’s Unified AP portfolio, the AP-505 combines modern wireless technology with centralized management to support scalable, cloud-ready networks for small and mid-size deployments.
Built for RoW (Rest of World) regions, this compact device provides robust performance for classrooms, office suites, retail floors, and hospitality spaces. It integrates seamlessly with Aruba Central for cloud-based management or can be deployed with traditional on‑premises mobility controllers, offering flexible control as your network grows.
Key benefits include improved network efficiency through Wi‑Fi 6 technology, consistent user experiences with fast roaming, and simplified installation via PoE power and versatile mounting options. The AP-505 is designed to minimize cabling and downtime while delivering secure, policy-driven access for employees, guests, and IoT devices.
