Wireless Access Points/Bridges

Weatherproof, temperature hardened, and ready for hazardous environments, the HPE Aruba Networking 670 Series Outdoor APs bring high performance Wi-Fi 6E to outdoor and environmentally challenging locations.

The 670 Series delivers more wireless capacity and wider channels taking advantage of Wi-Fi 6E and the 6 GHz band to more than double capacity to meet the speed and reliability needed by enterprise and industrial IoT environments.

With integrated high-power Bluetooth and Zigbee radios, fast wired connectivity, and a limited lifetime warranty, the 670 Series provides high-performance outdoor connectivity you can depend on, delivering up to 3.9Gbps maximum aggregate data rates with a Tri-radio 2x2:2 MIMO AP.

For the most extreme conditions, the 670 Series includes 670EX models that are Hazardous Location (HazLoc) compliant, making them ideal for environments such as oil rigs, industrial manufacturing, and transportation sites.

Ruggedized and outdoor ready

Purpose-built to survive harsh outdoor environments and deliver maximum wireless capacity and range, the 670 Series APs withstand exposure to extreme high and low temperatures, persistent moisture, and precipitation. They are fully sealed to keep out airborne contaminants and all electrical interfaces include industrial-strength surge protection. Available with choice of internal antenna (omni, directional, or point-to-point) to optimize wireless coverage, the 670 Series also includes EX models for additional protection for hazardous locations and harsh outdoor environments, and TAA models.

The Aruba 503 Series Access Points (APs) provide costeffective, high-performance connectivity for any organization experiencing device growth due to increased mobility, the shift to cloud, or IoT. With a maximum real-world aggregate data rate of 1.49 Gbps (HE80/HE20), the 503 Series deliver the speed and reliability needed for medium-density venues and workplaces such as schools, midsize offices, and retailers. Each 503 Series AP provides connectivity for a maximum of 256 associated clients per radio (512 in total).

OPTIMIZED USER EXPERIENCE

The 503 Series 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) and cellular optimization. With up to 2 spatial streams (2SS) and 80MHz channel bandwidth (HE80), the 503 Series provides the next generation of wireless capabilities for cost-conscious deployments.

Advantages of OFDMA

This capability allows Aruba's 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 multiple clients are sharing a channel and not competing for airtime and bandwidth.

Aruba Air Slice™ for application assurance

Aruba Air Slice delivers application assurance in order to optimize the user experience. By allocating radio resources such as time, frequency, and spatial stream to specific traffic types, Aruba APs can provide SLA-grade performance to client devices whether they support Wi-Fi 6 or prior standards.

Aruba Air Slice relies on Aruba's Policy Enforcement Firewall and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to identify user roles and applications so that bandwidth can be dynamically allocated to ensure performance. Air Slice is available for APs running controller-less mode (Instant) and with Aruba Central; controller-based APs will be supported in a future software release.

Wi-Fi 6 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.

Resource management with AirMatch

To better support growth in client device density and in data volumes, AirMatch uses machine learning techniques that provide automated radio frequency optimization.

To better support growth in client device density and in data volumes, AirMatch uses machine learning techniques that provide automated radio frequency optimization.

By analyzing the entire wireless network, AirMatch determines the optimum radio configuration and enables the network to automatically adapt in real time to changing RF conditions such as high noise and radar. It also adjusts for higher density, co-channel interference, and coverage gaps.

Aruba Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)

Using built-in filtering, Aruba Advanced Cellular Coexistence automatically minimizes the impact of interference from cellular networks, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and commercial small cell or femtocell equipment.

HPE Aruba Networking 600H Series Hospitality Access Points (APs) deliver seamless, secure, high-performance wireless connectivity to mission critical hospitality, small branch, and remote work environments. The 600H Series delivers more wireless capacity and wider channels by taking advantage of Wi-Fi 6E and the 6 GHz band to more than double capacity to meet increasing demands of bandwidthhungry video, growing numbers of client and IoT devices, and growth of cloud services.

The flexible compact form factor includes multi-gigabit and gigabit ports, PoE support, and integrated BLE and Zigbee, providing a range of connectivity options ideal for venues such as hotels, residence halls, and remote offices. The 600H Series includes a limited lifetime warranty for investment protection.

Use cases | Hospitality

Delivering exceptional hotel guest or student residence hall experiences requires seamless Wi-Fi connectivity that is always on. The 600H Series can support hundreds of guest and student devices simultaneously without impacting Wi-Fi quality and optimizes the connection to the best available AP regardless of where the device is carried so users can roam without impact to performance. Critical applications can be prioritized so they can perform at their peak, without impacting the guest or staff experience. Desktop or wall mount configurations provide deployment flexibility with wired ports and integrated BLE5.0 and 802.15.4 (Zigbee) supporting a range of IoT devices.

Small branch and remote work

With the 600H Series managed by HPE Aruba Networking Central, IT can remotely deploy and centrally manage secure network connectivity for hundreds or even thousands of remote workers or small office employees to deliver an in-office experience-without need for a gateway. Remote workers can connect wireless clients (laptops, smartphones, tablets) as well as wired clients, such as VoIP phones, and access mission-critical applications reliably and securely via a 2.5 Gbps uplink/downlink Ethernet port, dedicated 1 Gbps uplink port, and three dedicated downlink ports.

WI-FI 6E for faster speeds, more capacity

600H Series APs are designed to take advantage of Wi-Fi 6E and the 6GHz band, which translates into far greater speeds, wider channels for multi-gigabit traffic, and less interference. Its two 2x2 MIMO radios deliver a maximum combined data rate of up to 3.6 Gbps.

Advantages of 6 GHz

Wi-Fi 6E provides up to 1200 MHz in the 6 GHz band for higher throughput and improved application performance. With up to seven 160 MHz channels, Wi-Fi 6E can better support low-latency, bandwidth hungry applications like high-definition video and augmented reality and virtual reality applications. Only Wi-Fi 6E capable devices can use the 6 GHz band so there is no interference or slowdowns because legacy devices use the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz bands. The 600H Series provides flexible coverage across any two bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) to ensure that 6E and legacy devices are supported.

Device class support

HPE Aruba Networking 600H Series APs are part of the Low Power Indoor (LPI) device class. This fixed indoor-only class uses lower power levels and does not require an Automated Frequency Coordination service (AFC), which is required for all outdoor and select indoor APs that transmit/operate at Standard Power

6 GHz global readiness

While the need for more Wi-Fi capacity is recognized across the globe, countries are approaching the 6 GHz band differently. HPE Aruba Networking 600H Series APs are set up to automatically update regulatory rules after Wi-Fi 6E regulations have been approved and certified.
