Sophos APX 530
With the APX 530 you get one of the first security heartbeat enabled access points from Sophos. Powered by 802.11ac Wave 2 technology, the APX 530 performs reliably even under heavy load. To manage this access point, you will need either Sophos Central Wireless 2.0 or an XG firewall (since v17.5.3).

Product Description
APX-Serie - Next Generation Access Points
Although Next Generation has become a bit of a buzzword for new Sophos products, the brand new APX series is indeed a step forward. Of course, the APX 530 is equipped with the latest technologies, such as the Wave 2 standard. In terms of performance, it even doubles the performance of its predecessor, the AP 100.
With the APX series, Sophos also introduces the first access points that are security heartbeat-enabled and can benefit from Synchronized Security.
Requirements
If you buy a Next Generation Access Point, you must be aware that it will only work with the latest technologies from Sophos! The Sophos APX 530 is compatible with Sophos Central Wireless 2.0, an SG Firewall (running UTM 9.700 or higher) or an XG Firewall (at least SFOS 17.5.5)! If you cannot meet these requirements, you can still use the old Sophos access points at the moment. These will not be removed from the line-up for the time being.
Area of use
Like all APs of the APX series, they are designed for indoor use. If you are looking for an outdoor access point, the current AP 100X model is still the best choice.
The APX 530 is ideal for offices with a few employees who need high capacity.
