About the Aruba AP-22 Wi-Fi 6 Indoor Access Point (R4W02A)
Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) with up to 1.774 Gbps combined aggregate throughput, the Aruba AP-22 (R4W02A) delivers enterprise-grade wireless performance for medium to large indoor deployments. This dual-band indoor access point combines speed, security, and intelligent management in a compact form factor designed for organizations modernizing their wireless infrastructure.
Built by Aruba, an HPE Networking brand, the AP-22 features 2x2:2 MU-MIMO on each radio band, supporting simultaneous multi-user connectivity with OFDMA and MU-MIMO in both downlink and uplink directions. Advanced Wi-Fi 6 capabilities including BSS Coloring and Target Wake Time (TWT) reduce interference and extend device battery life in IoT-heavy environments. An integrated Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 (Zigbee) combo radio enables seamless connectivity for Internet of Things devices. Network engineers will appreciate WPA3 Personal and Enterprise security, along with 802.1X authentication and Management Frame Protection. The access point connects via a single 100/1000BASE-T Ethernet uplink and operates on standard 802.3af (Class 3) or 802.3at (Class 4) Power over Ethernet, drawing approximately 12.75 W at maximum consumption. Management is available through Aruba Central cloud platform or on-premises Aruba Mobility Controllers running ArubaOS, complemented by intelligent features such as Adaptive Radio Management (ARM), ClientMatch, AppRF, and Air Monitor support. The tool-less ceiling and wall-mount bracket simplifies deployment, while operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C suits most indoor environments. Full Wi-Fi Alliance Wi-Fi 6 certification and global regulatory approvals (FCC, CE, UL) ensure standards compliance.
