Introducing the new affordable and eco-friendly Aruba 503 Series Wi-Fi 6 APs

From product and supply chain innovation to services delivery and lifecycle management, sustainability is a key focus for Aruba. That’s why we’re pleased to announce our new eco-friendly packaging in the Aruba 503 Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) APs. They’re part of our sustainability initiative and our first Wi-Fi access points that can be purchased in a 10-pack with 80% recycled material to reduce packaging waste. Our 503 Series design further reduces impact on the environment by offering a longer lifecycle, low power consumption, and a small form factor that requires less use of plastic.

Ideal for medium to low-density environments like schools, retail, and branch offices, the Aruba 503 Series Indoor Access Points are compact, cost effective, and Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6. They also include operational efficiencies that can further reduce the environmental footprint of your network.
