HPE Networking Instant On AP32 (RW) Wi-Fi 6E Access Point (S1T23A)

The HPE Networking Instant On AP32 introduces support for the 6 GHz band. This provides a dedicated, "clean" spectrum that is not crowded by older legacy devices, resulting in lower latency and higher speeds for modern smartphones and laptops that support Wi-Fi 6E.

The HPE Instant On AP32 supports a combined theoretical Wi-Fi data rate of up to 3.6 Gbps across its 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands. Actual speeds depend on the connected device, network conditions and interference.

The AP32 is designed for business environments such as offices, restaurants and multi-purpose facilities. Actual coverage depends on building layout, walls, interference and access point placement. Additional access points may be needed for larger spaces.

Yes. The AP32 supports modern wireless security options, including WPA3, helping protect business Wi-Fi networks. The selected security mode must be compatible with connected devices.

Yes. The AP32 supports the 6 GHz band for compatible Wi-Fi 6E devices while also supporting 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz connectivity for compatible older devices. Devices without 6 GHz support cannot connect through that band.

The AP32 comes with a two-year warranty and access to HPE Instant On support resources. Support availability and warranty conditions may depend on the product SKU and purchase region.

To achieve its full potential aggregate speed of 2.8 Gbps, the AP32 features a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GbE) port. While it will work with a standard 1GbE switch, using a Multi-Gigabit PoE switch ensures that your wired network does not become a bottleneck for your wireless traffic.

The AP32 is designed to handle 75+ active devices simultaneously. It uses MU-MIMO and OFDMA technology to manage multiple data streams efficiently, ensuring a stable experience even in busy office or retail environments.

No. Like all products in the Instant On family, the AP32 is managed via the HPE Networking Instant On mobile app or web portal with no subscription or licensing fees. All security updates and cloud management features are included for the life of the product.

Yes. All Aruba and HPE Instant On access points are compatible with one another. You can mix and match different models in the same network and manage them all through a single interface. The AP32 can also participate in a Smart Mesh setup to extend coverage wirelessly.

The AP32 is highly efficient, with a maximum power draw of approximately 12.9W. It can be powered by a standard PoE (802.3af Class 3) or PoE+ (802.3at Class 4) source, or via an optional 12V DC power adapter.
