3. Core Technologies
The Aruba 510 Series AP leverages cutting-edge wireless technologies including OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access), MU-MIMO, and Target Wake Time (TWT) for power-efficient IoT communication. It also supports advanced RF management features such as Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and Transmit Beamforming (TxBF).
4. Working Principle
The AP uses dual radios to simultaneously manage 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Through OFDMA, it divides channels into smaller resource units (RUs) to serve multiple clients efficiently. MU-MIMO allows concurrent data transmission to several devices. Integrated Bluetooth and Zigbee radios enable location services and IoT connectivity without additional hardware.
5. Applications
Ideal for enterprise campuses, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and large retail environments. Supports high-density deployments, IoT sensor networks, asset tracking, and seamless roaming with Aruba’s AI-driven optimization.
