Arista O-435E Wi-Fi 7 Outdoor Access Point (External Antenna)

The Arista O-435E is the external-antenna variant of the O-435 outdoor Wi-Fi 7 access point, sharing the same -40°C to +65°C operating range, IP67 port ratings, 802.3bt PoE++ power input, and tri-band 2×2:2 radio configuration, but replacing the O-435's integrated PIFA antennas with N-type external antenna connectors. N-type connectors are the industry-standard RF interface for outdoor wireless systems, supporting directional sector antennas, high-gain yagi antennas, and dish-focus antennas that extend Wi-Fi 7 coverage beyond the several-hundred-metre range achievable with integrated omnidirectional antennas. This makes the O-435E the correct choice for point-to-multipoint campus links, stadium sector coverage, rural broadband distribution, and any outdoor deployment where the coverage cell geometry cannot be achieved with an omnidirectional radiation pattern.

The radio, memory, power, and management specifications are identical to the O-435: three concurrent 2×2:2 access radios, one dedicated multi-function radio for WIPS and client testing, 5.75 Gbps peak 6GHz data rate, 3 GB RAM, 512 MB flash, and 33W power draw. The LAN1 port provides the upstream PoE++ connection and the LAN2 port provides a downstream 802.3af PSE output, both carrying IP67 weatherproof ratings. Integrated GNSS operates alongside the external antenna configuration (the GNSS antenna is internal to the chassis regardless of whether external RF antennas are connected), providing position data to CloudVision CV-CUE for topology mapping and to location-aware applications running on connected IoT devices. Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) is supported on the 6GHz radio for regulatory compliance in outdoor standard-power deployments.
