Arista O-435 Wi-Fi 7 Outdoor Access Point

The Arista O-435 is a Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) outdoor access point rated for continuous operation across a temperature range of -40°C to +65°C, covering the thermal extremes encountered in parking structures, sports grounds, campus courtyards, transport hubs, and warehouse exteriors. Three concurrent 2×2:2 access radios on 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz deliver a combined peak physical rate of 5.75 Gbps, while a dedicated fourth radio handles WIPS monitoring and on-demand client connectivity testing without affecting access radio throughput. Both Ethernet ports (LAN1 providing a 5 GbE PoE++ (802.3bt) upstream connection and LAN2 providing 802.3af PoE output for a downstream device such as an outdoor camera or environmental sensor) carry IP67 weatherproof ratings, meaning the port interfaces themselves are sealed against water ingress without requiring additional weatherproof covers in exposed mounting positions.

Power input is via 802.3bt PoE++ at Class 6 (33W maximum draw), with the LAN2 PSE output active only when the AP is powered from a PoE++ supply; on 802.3at (PoE+) the AP operates but LAN2 PSE is disabled. Integrated GNSS provides accurate positioning data for the AP and any GPS-enabled downstream devices, useful in applications such as fleet tracking terminals, outdoor digital signage, and precision agriculture monitoring where the AP also serves as a location reference. MTBF measured at 263,780 hours at the AP's maximum rated temperature of 65°C (over 1 million hours at 25°C ambient) reflects the thermal engineering required to sustain reliability in sun-exposed outdoor installations where surface temperatures exceed ambient air temperature by significant margins.
