HPE Aruba Instant On AP505 Access Point (Model R2H25A)
The Aruba Instant On AP505 (Model R2H25A) is a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) indoor access point with 2×2 dual-band radios, 1 GbE PoE support, integrated Bluetooth 5, and AI-powered RF management — ideal for small to medium-business wireless networks.
Overview
The HPE Aruba Networking AP-505 (R2H25A) is a dual-radio, 2×2:2 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) Unified Campus Access Point built for cost-effective, medium-density indoor wireless coverage. It belongs to HPE Aruba Networking’s centrally-managed 500 Series Campus Access Point line — a controller/Aruba Central-managed platform, distinct from the separate “Instant On” simplified small-business product line. The AP-505 delivers a maximum real-world aggregate data rate of 1.49 Gbps and is well suited to schools, midsize offices, and retail environments experiencing growth in mobile, IoT, and wireless demand.
