Industrial environments require wireless connectivity that can operate safely and reliably in hazardous locations while supporting modern applications and connected devices.
The HPE Aruba AP-679EX Wi-Fi 6E Hazardous Outdoor Access Point is designed to deliver secure wireless connectivity in hazardous industrial environments. Built on Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) with support for the 6 GHz spectrum, it enables high-performance wireless networking for critical industrial applications. Certified hazardous-area design allows wireless networking to be deployed in regulated industrial sites where safety compliance is as important as connectivity performance.
The AP-679EX features an ATEX/IECEx-certified enclosure and IP66/67-rated protection, ensuring safe operation in hazardous environments such as oil and gas facilities, manufacturing plants, and chemical processing sites. That makes it easier to extend operational data access into critical environments without introducing separate wireless management models. Organisations that require hazardous-location support with Wi-Fi 7 performance may also consider the HPE Aruba AP-765EX Wi-Fi 7 Hazardous Outdoor Access Point, for updating connectivity in regulated outdoor industrial environments.
Centralised management through Aruba Central allows IT teams to monitor and optimise industrial wireless networks while maintaining secure connectivity across operational technology and enterprise systems.

The HPE Aruba AP-679EX Wi-Fi 6E Hazardous Outdoor Access Point is designed for organisations that need outdoor wireless in hazardous and heavily exposed environments. It is well suited to industrial sites where hazardous area certification, rugged design, and tri-band Wi-Fi 6E are required.
The Aruba AP-679EX suits outdoor energy and process-industry locations where wireless infrastructure operates near flammable gases, vapours, or dust. It supports wireless access in sites where standard outdoor access points are not suitable.
Industrial plants often need wireless for staff devices, operations systems, and connected equipment across harsh working environments. The Aruba AP-679EX provides hazardous-location outdoor Wi-Fi for these demanding sites.
Mining and extraction sites need rugged wireless infrastructure that can operate reliably in exposed and industrial conditions. The Aruba AP-679EX is well suited to these environments where safety classification and outdoor resilience matter.
Transport depots, utility sites, and industrial yards often need wireless access for mobile teams and connected field systems. The Aruba AP-679EX supports these deployments with hardened outdoor connectivity and IoT support.
The Aruba AP-679EX also fits hazardous outdoor environments that use connected sensors and monitoring devices. BLE and Zigbee support help extend IoT services into locations where wireless design must also meet hazardous area requirements.
Our team can help design and deploy Aruba AP-679EX wireless infrastructure for hazardous industrial, energy, utility, and exposed outdoor environments.
