Guest-Room Wi-Fi 6 That Hides Behind the Wall Plate
Picture a 180-room hotel where every guest expects fast, private Wi-Fi the moment they check in. The HPE Aruba 503H mounts flush to the wall like a data jack, feeds each room its own dual-band Wi-Fi 6 coverage, and runs on a single PoE cable so there is no adapter to hide in the nightstand. Browse the full HPE lineup or compare other Wi-Fi 6 access points.
Deployment Notes
- The wall-plate chassis drops into roughly the same footprint as an in-room data jack, or sits on a desktop where wiring is already exposed.
- A single PoE connection carries both data and power, so no outlet or power brick is needed at the access point itself.
- Dual-radio 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz coverage suits hotel rooms, dorms, and multi-dwelling units where each space needs its own reliable signal.
- A Gigabit Ethernet uplink keeps the wired backhaul ahead of what the radios push into the room.
Highlights
- Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax): up to 1.45 Gbit/s aggregate across dual bands with 2x2 MIMO.
- WPA3 security: the current wireless encryption standard, with WPA2 and WPA also supported.
- Gigabit PoE uplink: single-cable power and data for a clean, adapter-free install.
- Bluetooth 5 and a USB port open the door to IoT sensors and location services.
- Two internal antennas packed into a compact 5.9-inch wall-plate body.
Which version of the Aruba 503H is this?
This listing is the R3V38A, the US regulatory-domain model of the HPE Aruba 500H Series. HPE builds the same access point in other regional variants, such as the R3V36A, certified for different countries' wireless rules. They share the design and feature set but are tuned to local RF regulations, so the R3V38A is the right choice for deployments in the United States.
