HPE Aruba Networking AP-675 – High-performance tri-radio outdoor Wi-Fi 6E

We supply the HPE Aruba Networking AP-675 (RW) Tri Radio 2×2 Wi-Fi 6E Internal Omni-Directional Outdoor AP for robust wireless coverage in exposed UK locations. This unit suits campuses, logistics yards, and industrial sites needing resilient outdoor connectivity. Its strongest benefit is delivering up to 3.9 Gbps aggregate throughput using the 6 GHz band for low-latency applications. It also integrates high-power Bluetooth and Zigbee for dense IoT deployments.

Core numbers at a glance

Using the 6 GHz band for capacity and speed

The HPE Aruba Networking AP-675 (RW) Tri Radio 2×2 Wi-Fi 6E Internal Omni-Directional Outdoor AP supports 160 MHz channels in 6 GHz. This gives more than double the wireless capacity for bandwidth-hungry applications. In practice, it suits high-definition video streams and AR/VR use outdoors. Because it uses Wi-Fi 6E, you get cleaner spectrum and lower latency.

Rugged outdoor design for UK weather

With an IP66 and IP67 rating, the unit resists rain, dust, and temperature extremes. It operates between -40 °C and 70 °C, and humidity from 5% to 100%. We see this as ideal for exposed sites across the UK. Also, the internal omni-directional antennas simplify installation on walls or poles.

Flexible wired uplinks for fast backhaul

You get two Ethernet LAN ports supporting 2500 and 5000 Mbit/s, plus an SFP fibre port for longer runs. This provides fast, reliable wired connectivity to the network core. The AP also includes USB 2.0 host interfaces and a serial console port for management. So it integrates cleanly into existing infrastructure.

Integrated IoT and location services

High-power Bluetooth 4.2 + 5.0 and Zigbee radios support industrial IoT sensors and beacons. The embedded GPS receiver enables self-locating for large outdoor deployments. This helps with asset tracking and network planning. Multi User MIMO and beamforming improve efficiency for many concurrent clients.

Management and security options

We support on-premises, public cloud, and VPC management models. Security algorithms include WPA2 for client protection. The AP runs HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System and Instant OS variants. Confirm your preferred OS version supports 6 GHz operation before deployment.

Before you order

• Confirm your site has PoE infrastructure capable of delivering up to 45.5 W.
• Check that your management platform supports the required Aruba OS version.
• Verify the mounting location suits pole or wall placement with clear line of sight.
• Ensure the operating altitude up to 3000 m is within your site parameters.
