Indoor dual-radio 802.11ax unified campus access point with external antenna connectors and 2.5 Gbps Ethernet uplink.
The AP-514 provides a 5 GHz 4x4 MIMO 802.11ax radio and a 2.4 GHz 2x2 MIMO 802.11ax radio. It includes four female RP-SMA connectors for external dual-band antennas, an E0 HPE Smart Rate port supporting up to 2.5 Gbps, an E1 Gigabit Ethernet network port, USB 2.0, Bluetooth 5, and Zigbee. The access point supports DC power and PoE on E0, with maximum worst-case power consumption of 16.0 W on DC, 20.8 W on 802.3at/bt PoE, or 13.5 W on 802.3af PoE with IPM enabled.
