HPE Aruba AP-365 Outdoor Wireless Access Point 802.11ac Wave 2 PoE | Wty

HPE Aruba AP-365

Key Benefits

• IP67 full weatherproofing — dust-tight and rated for submersion to 1 m — handles rain, hose-down cleaning, and coastal humidity without failure
• Dual-band concurrent operation — 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios run simultaneously, steering capable clients to the less congested 5 GHz band automatically
• MU-MIMO technology — serves multiple clients in parallel on the 5 GHz radio — critical for outdoor areas with dense device populations
• Wide temperature tolerance — -40°C to 60°C ensures reliable operation in the harshest Australian conditions from alpine to outback environments
• PoE powered — a single Ethernet cable delivers both data and power — no separate power cabling needed at the mount point
• Dual deployment modes — Aruba Instant lets you run controller-less for simple sites; ArubaOS controller mode scales to enterprise campus deployments with centralised policy

Performance in Use

The Aruba AP-365 brings enterprise-grade 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless to outdoor environments where consumer and budget APs fail quickly. Its IP67-rated housing withstands driving rain, hosing down, and submersion, while the -40°C to 60°C temperature range covers conditions from cold-climate warehouses to rooftop installations in tropical Queensland.

Deployment is straightforward for Aruba-familiar network teams. In Aruba Instant mode, the AP self-configures without a controller — ideal for branch sites or smaller outdoor areas. For enterprise campuses already running ArubaOS, the AP-365 joins existing policy and RF management frameworks seamlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a controller required?

Not for Aruba Instant deployments — the AP-365 can operate in controller-less Instant mode for smaller sites. For ArubaOS controller-managed deployments, a compatible Aruba controller or Aruba Central subscription is needed.

What PoE standard is required?

The AP-365 requires 802.3af or 802.3at PoE from the switch or a PoE injector. Most current enterprise switches support this natively.

Does the AP-365 support 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6)?

No — the AP-365 is an 802.11ac Wave 2 (Wi-Fi 5) access point. For Wi-Fi 6 outdoor coverage, consider the Aruba AP-567 or AP-577 series.

Can this be mounted on a pole?

Yes — the AP-365 ships with mounting hardware for wall, pole, and ceiling installation. Aruba also offers optional external antenna models for extended range.

What is the warranty period?

This unit includes a 12-month Reboot IT warranty from the date of purchase.
