High-Performance Wi-Fi for Modern Networks

The AP-503 is part of Aruba’s Wi-Fi 6 portfolio, offering higher throughput, reduced latency,

and improved power efficiency. It’s optimized for environments with moderate user density—supporting smooth operation for users streaming video, accessing cloud services, or using bandwidth-intensive apps.

With OFDMA and MU-MIMO, it efficiently handles multiple simultaneous connections, ensuring stable and responsive wireless access for students, employees, or guests.

Simple Installation and Management

Thanks to its PoE support, the AP-503 requires just a single Ethernet cable for both power and data,

reducing cabling complexity and installation time. The ceiling-mount design ensures even coverage

across indoor environments while maintaining a clean, professional look.

IT teams can manage the AP-503 through:

• Aruba Central – a cloud-native platform offering real-time monitoring, configuration, and troubleshooting.

• Aruba Mobility Controllers – for larger, centralized campus deployments.

Security at the Edge

With built-in security features, the AP-503 supports WPA3, role-based access control,

and dynamic segmentation, helping businesses enforce zero-trust network policies and protect sensitive data.

It also integrates seamlessly with Aruba Clear Pass for advanced policy enforcement and device visibility.
