This access point has two Ethernet ports for connection and built-in Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios for location and IoT use.

ClientMatch technology automatically detects and classifies mobile devices with common characteristics, groups these devices, and matches them with APs and radios to optimize the performance of the network
OFDMA increases user data rates and reduces latency, especially for large numbers of devices with short frames or low data rate requirements
Multi-User, Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) improves network capacity by allowing multiple devices to transmit simultaneously
GreenAP allows access point to draw less power when it's not being used, such as evenings when the buildings are empty
Runs on ArubaOS 8 which delivers always-on networking via features like LiveUpgrade, Controller Clustering, and seamless fail-over
ArubaOS 8 also includes AirMatch, which provides machine learning technology to automatically optimize the performance of a wireless network by tuning the radio frequencies of the access points
Power saving options with Target Wake Time (TWT) to save battery life
Integrated Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radio, as well as USB ports for maximum flexibility, providing secure and reliable connectivity for IoT devices and for implementing location services
Unified AP supports flexibility to deploy in either controller-based (ArubaOS) or controller-less (InstantOS) networks
Antenna polarization diversity for optimized RF performance
HPE SmartRate uplink Ethernet port
Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) minimizes interference from 3G/4G cellular networks, distributed antenna systems, and commercial small cell/femtocell equipment
Supports priority handling and policy enforcement or unified communication apps, including Skype for business with encrypted video conferencing, voice, chat, and desktop sharing
Aruba AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection to classify and block, prioritize, or limit bandwidth for thousands of applications in a range of categories
Adaptive Radio management (ARM) technology provides airtime fairness and ensures that APs stay clear of all sources of RF interference to deliver reliable, high-performance WLANs
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of credentials and keys as well as secure boot
Integrated wireless intrusion protection offers threat protection and mitigation, and eliminates the need for separate RF sensors and security appliances
IP reputation and security services identify, classify, and block malicious files, URLs, and IPs providing comprehensive protection against online threats
Securejack-capable for secure tunneling of wired Ethernet traffic
Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) when the unit is powered by a PoE source
Deployment options include controller-based mode, controller-less mode, remote AP mode, air monitor, spectrum analyzer, and secure enterprise mesh portal or point
