Description
Overview:
Weatherproof and temperature hardened, Aruba 560 series access points deliver cost-effective Wi-Fi 6 wireless connectivity in outdoor and environmentally challenging locations.
Purpose-built to survive in the harshest outdoor environments, 560 series can withstand exposure to extreme high and low temperatures, persistent moisture and precipitation, and are fully sealed to keep out airborne contaminants. All electrical interfaces include industrial strength surge protection.
Aruba Wi-Fi 6 access points provide high-performance connectivity for any organization experiencing growing numbers of IoT and mobility requirements. With maximum aggregate on air data rate of 1.49 Gbps (HE80/HE20), they deliver the speed and reliability needed for most environments.
Aruba’s advanced ClientMatch technology and an integrated Bluetooth beacon can help enable Aruba location services.
Features and Benefits:
INCREDIBLE EFFICIENCY
The 560 Series access points (APs) are designed to optimize user experience by maximizing Wi-Fi efficiency and dramatically reducing airtime contention between clients.
Features include Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), multi-user MIMO and cellular optimization. With up to 2 spatial streams, the 560 Series provides reliable connectivity for most any application.
Advantages of OFDMA
OFDMA capability allows Aruba APs to handle multiple Wi-Fi 6 capable clients on each channel simultaneously, regardless of device or traffic type. Channel utilization is optimized by handling each transaction via smaller sub-carriers or resource units (RUs), which means that clients are sharing a channel yet not competing for airtime and bandwidth.
Aruba Air Slice™ for Extended OFDMA Assurance
Initially, APs in controller-less mode (Instant) can provide SLA-grade performance by allocating radio resources, such as time, frequency, and spatial streams, to specific traffic types. By combining Aruba’s Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) and Layer 7 deep packet inspection (DPI) to identify user roles and applications, the APs will dynamically allocate the bandwidth needed. Non-Wi-Fi 6 clients can also benefit. For APs, Air Slice uses Aruba Central for management. Controller-based APs will be supported in a future software release.
Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO)
560 Series APs support downlink MU-MIMO just like Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) APs. The added benefit is the ability to multiply the number of clients that can now send traffic, thus optimizing client-to-AP spatial stream diversity.
Wi-Fi 6 and MU-MIMO aware client optimization
Aruba’s patented AI-powered ClientMatch technology eliminates sticky client issues by placing Wi-Fi 6 capable devices on the best available AP. Session metrics are used to steer mobile devices to the best AP based on available bandwidth, types of applications being used and traffic type – even as users roam.
Aruba Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
The ACC feature uses built-in filtering to automatically minimize the impact of interference from cellular networks, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and commercial small cell or femtocell equipment.
Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM)
Aruba APs continuously monitor and report hardware energy consumption. They can also be configured to enable or disable capabilities based on available PoE power – ideal when wired switches have exhausted their power budget.
IOT PLATFORM CAPABILITIES
Like all Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs, the 560 Series includes an integrated Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio (for Zigbee support) to simplify deploying and managing IoT-based location services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT sensors. This allows organizations to leverage the 560 Series as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources.
Target Wake Time (TWT)
Ideal for IoTs that communicate infrequently, TWT establishes a schedule for when clients need to communicate with an AP. This helps improve client power savings and reduces airtime contention with other clients.
ARUBA SECURE INFRASTRUCTURE
The Aruba 560 Series includes components of Aruba’s Zero Trust Security to help protect user authentication and wireless traffic. Select capabilities include:
WPA3 and Enhanced Open
Support for stronger encryption and authentication is provided via the latest version of WPA for enterprise protected networks.
Enhanced Open offers seamless protection for users connecting to open networks where each session is automatically encrypted to protect user passwords and data on guest networks.
WPA2-MPSK
MPSK enables simpler passkey management for WPA2 devices – should the Wi-Fi password on one device or device type change, no additional changes are needed for other devices. Requires Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager.
VPN Tunnels
In Remote AP (RAP) and IAP-VPN deployments, the Aruba 560 Series can be used to establish a secure SSL/IPSec VPN tunnel to a Mobility Controller that is acting as a VPN concentrator.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
For enhanced device assurance, all Aruba APs have an installed TPM chip for secure storage of credentials and keys, and boot code.
SIMPLE AND SECURE ACCESS
To simplify policy enforcement, the Aruba 560 Series uses Aruba’s Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) feature to encapsulate all traffic from the AP to the Mobility Controller (or Gateway) for end-to-end encryption and inspection. Policies are applied based on user role, device type, applications, and location. This reduces the manual configuration of SSIDs, VLANs and ACLs. PEF also serves as the underlying technology for Aruba Dynamic Segmentation.

Security
- Integrated wireless intrusion protection offers threat protection and mitigation, and eliminates the need for separate RF sensors and security appliances
- IP reputation and security services identify, classify, and block malicious files, URLs and IPs, providing comprehensive protection against advanced online threats
- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of credentials and keys
Networking on a budget
With the integrated BLE and supporting 802.3af power, the Series APs enable enterprises to improve their work efficiency and productivity with the lowest TCO. When Ethernet drops are not available, VPN tunnels extend remote locations to corporate resources and wireless mesh connections.
Highly secure and reliable performance
The Series APs offer improved network simplicity and security in several ways. Dynamic Segmentation automatically enforces real-time, device-level access policies on Aruba wired and wireless networks. Additionally, Aruba AppRF technology leverages deep- packet inspection to classify and block, prioritize, or limit bandwidth for over 2,500 enterprise apps or groups of apps.
Flexible management options
Available management solutions include Aruba Central (available in cloud-managed and on-premises options), as well as Aruba AirWave, which supports multi-vendor networks. APs can be deployed with zero-touch provisioning to reduce deployment time, centralize configuration, and simplify inventory management.
