Tri-Radio Architecture

The tri-radio design of the Aruba AP-675 distinguishes it from conventional dual-band or dual-radio access points. With dedicated radios for the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, this category of access points enables simultaneous multi-band operations, maximizing spectral efficiency and minimizing congestion in outdoor wireless environments.

Dedicated 2.4 GHz Radio

The 2.4 GHz radio ensures backward compatibility with legacy Wi-Fi devices and supports a wide range of IoT sensors, scanners, and handheld terminals that rely on this band. In outdoor or industrial environments, many operational devices continue to use 2.4 GHz due to its extended range and penetration capabilities. The AP-675 category supports these devices while maintaining modern security protocols and performance optimization.

5 GHz Radio

The 5 GHz band remains the primary spectrum for enterprise wireless networking due to its balance of performance and coverage. Access points in this category provide robust 5 GHz connectivity for laptops, tablets, mobile devices, and wireless backhaul connections. The Aruba AP-675 supports advanced features such as dynamic frequency selection, channel bonding, and beamforming to deliver consistent throughput even in RF-dense outdoor environments.

6 GHz Radio

The introduction of the 6 GHz band marks a significant advancement in wireless networking. This category of access points leverages the extended spectrum to offer wider channels, reduced interference, and lower latency. The Aruba AP-675 enables organizations to future-proof their outdoor wireless infrastructure by supporting next-generation client devices and applications that demand ultra-high throughput and real-time responsiveness.

2x2 MIMO Design

The AP-675 features a 2x2 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configuration across each radio, balancing performance and power efficiency. This design is optimized for outdoor deployments where reliability, coverage consistency, and thermal efficiency are paramount.

Spatial Streams

The 2x2 MIMO architecture enables simultaneous transmission and reception across two spatial streams, enhancing data rates and improving signal robustness. In outdoor environments where signal reflections, obstructions, and interference are common, this configuration ensures stable connections and consistent throughput for a wide range of devices.

Energy Efficiency

Outdoor access points must operate across extreme temperature ranges while maintaining stable performance. The 2x2 MIMO design contributes to lower power consumption and reduced heat generation, supporting passive cooling and extending the lifespan of the hardware. This makes the AP-675 category particularly well-suited for deployments in hot, cold, humid, or dusty conditions.

Omni-Directional Antennas

The Aruba AP-675 category is defined by its use of internal omni-directional antennas, which simplify deployment and enhance aesthetic integration while delivering uniform coverage patterns across wide outdoor areas.

Uniform Signal Distribution

Omni-directional antennas radiate signals evenly in all horizontal directions, making them ideal for covering open spaces such as courtyards, parking lots, outdoor seating areas, industrial yards, and pedestrian walkways. This ensures consistent connectivity regardless of user movement or device orientation.

Ruggedized Outdoor Design

Access points in this category, including the Aruba AP-675, are engineered with industrial-grade enclosures that withstand harsh weather conditions and environmental stressors. These devices are rated for outdoor use, offering resistance to water, dust, temperature extremes, and physical impact.

Environmental Protection

The AP-675 features a sealed, corrosion-resistant enclosure that protects internal components from rain, snow, humidity, salt spray, and airborne contaminants. This design ensures uninterrupted operation in coastal regions, industrial zones, and outdoor public spaces.

Wide Operating

This category supports extended operating temperatures, enabling reliable performance in environments ranging from freezing winter conditions to extreme summer heat. This capability is essential for deployments in outdoor campuses, remote industrial sites, and transportation infrastructure.

Wi-Fi 6E Technology

The Aruba AP-675 category leverages the full capabilities of Wi-Fi 6E, extending the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 into the newly available 6 GHz spectrum. This provides organizations with unprecedented wireless performance, scalability, and reliability.

Orthogonal Frequency

Wi-Fi 6E introduces OFDMA to enable more efficient use of spectrum by allowing multiple devices to transmit simultaneously within a single channel. This significantly reduces latency and improves performance in high-density outdoor environments where many devices compete for airtime.

Multi-User MIMO

Enhanced MU-MIMO capabilities allow the AP-675 to communicate with multiple devices concurrently, increasing network capacity and improving user experiences. This is particularly valuable in outdoor venues such as stadiums, event spaces, and transit hubs where large numbers of users require simultaneous connectivity.
