Aruba 650 Series Access Point

Aruba 650 Series Campus Access Points Flagship offering with the performance to meet growing enterprise needs with WiFi 6E By leveraging the 6 GHz band, Aruba 650 Series Campus APs delivers peak performance and far greater capacity than previous generations of Wi-Fi. With up to 1200 MHz of new channels, capacity is nearly tripled – so you can meet growing demand due to bandwidth-hungry video, increasing numbers of client and IoT devices and growth in cloud. Unique to Aruba, the Aruba includes ultra tri-band filtering to minimize channel interference and dual configurable 5 Gbps 650 Series ethernet ports to eliminate coverage gaps, provide greater resiliency, and deliver fast, secure connectivity.

 Key Features 

Comprehensive tri-band coverage across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz to deliver up to 7.8Gbps combined peak datarate
• 4×4 MIMO radios to deliver peak performance and increased capacity using MU-MIMO and OFDMA
• Up to seven 160MHz channels in 6GHz support low-latency, bandwidth-hungry applications like high‑definition video and augmented reality/virtual reality applications
• Unique ultra tri-band filtering enables 5GHz and 6GHz to operate without restrictions or interference
• High availability with configurable 5 Gbps dual Ethernet ports for hitless failover of ethernet and power
• Built in GPS receivers and intelligent software enable APs to self-locate and act as reference points for accurate indoor location measurements.

BUSINESS CONTINUITY
The Series 650 APs provide high availability with two HPE Smart Rate ethernet ports for hitless failover for both data and power. Configurable to 1, 2.5, or 5 Gbps, these dual ports provide business continuity for mission critical applications.

GLOBAL READINESS
While the need for more Wi-Fi capacity is recognized across the globe, countries are approaching 6GHz differently. The 650 Series APs are set up to automatically update regulatory rules once 6E regulations have been approved and certified.

EXTEND THE BENEFITS OF WI-FI 6
The 650 Series APs are based on the 802.11ax standard, which means that all its efficiency and security enhancements are also available on the 6GHz band. Wi‑Fi 6 features such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), BSS coloring, Enhanced Open, and WPA3 are fully supported on the Aruba Wi-Fi 6E access points as well.

Application Assurance
With Air Slice, organizations can provide application assurance to their users that goes beyond the traditional capabilities of airtime fairness. After the SLAs are configured, Air Slice monitors network usage, automatically allocates radio resources, and dynamically adjusts radio resources as new users connect and applications sessions begin or end.

Aruba Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
Unique to Aruba, Advanced Cellular Coexistence 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)
For better insights into energy consumption, Aruba APs continuously monitor and report hardware energy usage. Unlike other vendor’s access points, Aruba APs can also be configured to enable or disable capabilities based on available PoE power – ideal when wired switches have exhausted their power budget. Enterprises can deploy Wi-Fi 6E APs and update switching and power at a later if needed based on their actual usage. Other power options include adding a power injector or using Smart PoE to combine power from two cables.

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
