HPE AP-634 Tri-Band Indoor Wireless Access Point — Wi‑Fi 6E for Enterprise

Meet the HPE AP-634, a high-capacity tri-band indoor wireless access point designed to power dense, enterprise-grade networks. As part of Aruba’s 630 Series lineage, the AP-634 delivers three dedicated radios that harness the 6 GHz band to unlock unprecedented capacity, lower latency, and smarter coverage in classrooms, offices, campuses, and hospitality venues. Built to support modern wireless workloads—from HD video conferencing to cloud-based collaboration and IoT deployments—the AP-634 combines robust security, scalable management, and intelligent RF optimization to provide a reliable, future-ready wireless foundation.

• Tri-band design with dedicated 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz radios enables simultaneous wireless channels and reduces co-channel interference, delivering consistent user experiences in crowded spaces. This tri-radio approach frees up spectrum, supports more devices at once, and improves overall network performance in dense environments.
• IEEE 802.11ax (Wi‑Fi 6/6E) support with OFDMA, MU-MIMO, BSS Coloring, and Target Wake Time drives higher throughput, lower latency, and better spectrum efficiency for dense deployments like classrooms, campuses, and enterprise venues. The result is faster page loads, smoother video, and improved user experiences even as device counts grow.
• Aggregate data rate up to 3.90 Gbps provides strong performance for latency-sensitive applications such as video conferencing, real-time collaboration, streaming, and high-speed file transfers. Expect responsive networks that keep critical business apps running without delays.
• Indoor, enterprise-grade design with built-in security, optional cloud management via Aruba Central, and seamless integration with existing wired infrastructure for scalable network growth. Centralized provisioning, policy enforcement, and streamlined firmware updates simplify administration at scale.
• Automation-ready with advanced RF optimization, seamless roaming, load balancing, and analytics-powered insights that simplify deployment, troubleshooting, and ongoing network performance tuning. AI-driven recommendations help you continuously refine coverage and capacity where you need it most.

How to Install HPE AP-634

• Plan placement for optimal coverage: mount indoors in ceilings or walls at central locations to maximize line-of-sight and minimize obstructions. Consider high-traffic areas and potential interference sources when selecting mounting heights.
• Connect the AP to a PoE-enabled switch using the included Ethernet cable and ensure power delivery aligns with your PoE standard. A PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) or higher setup is typically recommended to support full operating power for all radios.
• Power up and adopt the AP into Aruba Central or your on-premises controller, following the vendor's setup wizard to apply the initial configuration. This includes basic network settings, security policies, and device provisioning.
• Configure SSIDs, security policies, guest access, and VLANs to align with your organization’s network segmentation and security requirements. Use WPA3, strong authentication, and appropriate firewall rules to safeguard user data and resources.
• Enable RF optimization features such as OFDMA, MU-MIMO, beamforming, and band steering for efficient use of spectrum in high-density areas. Fine-tune channel utilization and power levels to balance coverage with capacity across floors and zones.
• Test performance with active devices and adjust RF settings, power levels, and channel usage to minimize interference and maximize user throughput. Monitor key metrics like client count, data rate, latency, and airtime usage to maintain peak performance.
