HP JW176-61001 270 AP-274 5GHz 1300Mbit/s 1x PoE+ 1000BT Access Point

Product Description

The HP JW176-61001, corresponding to the Aruba AP-274 model, is a robust wireless access point engineered for high-performance Wi-Fi connectivity in demanding enterprise settings. This access point operates exclusively within the 5 GHz frequency band, leveraging the 802.11ac standard to deliver fast and reliable wireless services. It is designed to provide excellent throughput and capacity, supporting a maximum data rate of 1300 Mbit/s, which is ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications and a large number of concurrent users. The AP-274 is equipped with a single Gigabit Ethernet port (1000BT) for its wired backhaul connection, ensuring that the wireless performance is not bottlenecked by the network infrastructure. A key feature is its support for PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus), which allows the access point to receive both power and data through a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation, reduces cabling requirements, and offers flexibility in deployment, especially in locations where power outlets are not readily available. While the SKU and title primarily highlight the 5GHz operation and speed, the AP-274 series is often associated with outdoor or industrial deployments due to its ruggedized design and environmental resilience (though specific environmental ratings should be confirmed for this exact variant). This makes it suitable for use in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, or outdoor campus areas where standard indoor access points might not withstand the conditions. The combination of high-speed Wi-Fi, robust connectivity, and flexible power options makes the JW176-61001 a versatile solution for advanced wireless networking.
