The S1T36A is the HPE Networking Instant On AP27, a Wi-Fi Certified 6 outdoor access point built for businesses that need fast, stable wireless coverage beyond their four walls. Parking lots, hotel courtyards, outdoor dining areas, warehouses, school campuses — wherever your team or customers need connectivity, the S1T36A delivers it without flinching.

KEY FEATURES

The S1T36A runs on 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) dual-band radios, producing 1.2 Gbps on the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band for a combined 1.7 Gbps of total throughput. That is four times the capacity of legacy 802.11ac access points. MU-MIMO and OFDMA technology allow the AP27 to serve multiple clients at the same time without the bottlenecks common to older Wi-Fi generations — critical when 50 or more devices are active simultaneously.

The IP67-rated enclosure is one of the defining strengths of the S1T36A. IP67 means the unit is fully dust-tight and can survive immersion in water up to one meter for 30 minutes. Combined with an operating range of -40°F to 149°F (-40°C to 65°C), this access point handles the harshest conditions across every season. Wall and pole mounting brackets are integrated into the design, so installation on exterior surfaces is straightforward with no proprietary hardware needed.

Smart Mesh support lets you extend your wireless network by linking multiple Instant On access points without running new Ethernet runs to every location. The S1T36A connects wirelessly to its nearest peer and joins the same managed network, cutting installation costs significantly on large outdoor deployments.

USE CASES

Retail and Hospitality Outdoor Zones: Restaurants, cafes, and hotels use the S1T36A to serve guest Wi-Fi on patios and poolside areas. The built-in captive portal lets staff display terms-of-service agreements and collect guest details without any extra hardware.

Warehouses and Loading Docks: Industrial outdoor environments are where the IP67 rating and extended temperature range prove their worth. Forklift operators, inventory scanners, and mobile devices stay connected reliably even in cold storage areas or dusty loading yards.

School and University Campuses: Outdoor study areas, sports facilities, and walkways benefit from the S1T36A’s Smart Mesh capability. IT teams can expand coverage gradually without rewiring entire buildings.

Curbside and Drive-Through Operations: Retailers operating curbside delivery or click-and-collect services rely on the S1T36A to keep staff devices online at the kerbside, eliminating missed orders caused by poor signal at the door.
