Installation Guide | May 2019 1
Aruba 530 Series access points (AP-534 and AP-535) are high-performance, multi-radio wireless devices that can
be deployed in either controller-based (ArubaOS) or controllerless (InstantOS) network environments. These
access points deliver high-performance concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 802.11ax Wi-Fi functionality with 4x4
MIMO radios, while also supporting legacy 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless services.
Ethernet ports located on the back of this access point are used to connect the device to the wired networking
infrastructure and to provide power over Ethernet (PoE) to the device (802.3at class 4 or 802.3bt class 5).
In addition to both Wi-Fi radios, these APs also incorporate a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Zigbee radio,
supporting a variety of use-cases and services, such as locationing and IoT.
A variety of mounting scenarios is supported by a range of mount kits (sold separately). Make sure to purchase
the correct mount kit for the intended deployment of the AP.
