HPE Aruba 730 Series Wi-Fi 7 Access Points - Refurbished and Used
The HPE Aruba Networking 730 series is a line of indoor Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) campus access points with three concurrent radios on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz. This collection carries the AP-734, the external antenna model, in its US version (S1G33A), as refurbished and used units. Refurbished and used units are tested before they ship.
HPE Aruba AP-734 at a glance
Each of the three radios is 2x2 MIMO, and the AP supports 802.11be channel widths up to 320 MHz. HPE lists peak data rates of up to 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, 2.9 Gbps on 5 GHz and 5.8 Gbps on 6 GHz, for a tri-band aggregate of 9.3 Gbps. For the wired side, the AP-734 has two RJ45 Ethernet ports that auto-sense 100/1000/2500/5000BASE-T. It also has two USB 2.0 Type A host ports, Bluetooth Low Energy plus a second BLE or Zigbee radio, and a GNSS receiver.
Why choose the external antenna model?
The AP-734 has RP-SMA (female) connectors, arranged in two sets of two, for external antennas instead of built-in ones. That lets you pick antennas for spaces where an internal omnidirectional antenna is not the right pattern. Check the listing for whether antennas are included.
What PoE does the AP-734 need?
Plan on 802.3bt. HPE lists unrestricted operation on a Class 5 (802.3bt) source. On a Class 4 (802.3at) source the USB ports are disabled unless Intelligent Power Monitoring is enabled to manage power dynamically. Running the AP on an 802.3af (Class 3 or lower) source is not supported except for staging.
How does it compare with Wi-Fi 6E models?
Like the Aruba 610 and 650 series, the AP-734 serves 6 GHz clients. Wi-Fi 7 adds the wider 320 MHz channels, and the AP-734 runs all three bands at the same time with 5 Gbps capable Ethernet ports.
