Alcatel-Lucent
OmniAccess WLAN 560 series
outdoor access points
Entry-level Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for outdoor
and warehouse environments
Weatherproof and temperature hardened,
Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess WLAN 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.
OmniAccess 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.
Incredible efciency
The 560 Series access points (APs) are designed to optimize user experience by maximizing Wi-Fi
efciency and dramatically reducing airtime contention between clients.
Features include Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), bi-directional multiuser 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 OmniAccess WLAN APs to handle multiple Wi-Fi 6 capable clients on each
channel simultaneously, regardless of device or trafc 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.

Extended OFDMA assurance
Initially, APs in controller-less mode can provide SLA-grade performance by allocating radio resources,
such as time, frequency, and spatial streams, to specic trafc types. By combining 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 benet. 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 benet
is the ability to multiply the number of clients that can now send trafc, thus optimizing client-to-AP
spatial stream diversity.
Wi-Fi 6 and MU-MIMO aware client optimization
OmniAccess 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 trafc type – even as
users roam.
Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
The ACC feature uses built-in ltering 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)
OmniAccess APs continuously monitor and report hardware energy consumption. They can also be
congured to enable or disable capabilities based on available PoE power – ideal when wired switches
have exhausted their power budget.
IoT platform capabilities
Like all OmniAccess 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.
Secure infrastructure
The OmniAccess WLAN 560 Series includes components of Zero Trust Security to help protect user
authentication and wireless trafc. 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 ClearPass
Policy Manager.
VPN tunnels
In Remote AP (RAP) and IAP-VPN deployments, the OmniAccess WLAN 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 OmniAccess WLAN 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 OmniAccess WLAN 560 Series uses Policy Enforcement Firewall
(PEF) feature to encapsulate all trafc from the AP to the Mobility Controller (or Gateway) for end-toend encryption and inspection. Policies are applied based on user role, device type, applications, and
location. This reduces the manual conguration of SSIDs, VLANs and ACLs.
High-density connectivity
Each 560 Series AP provides connectivity for a maximum of 256 associated clients per radio
(512 in total). In real-world scenarios, the maximum recommended client density is dependent
on environmental conditions.
Flexible operation and management
Controller-less mode
In controllerless mode, one AP serves as a virtual controller for the entire network.
Mobility controller mode
For optimized network performance, roaming and security, APs tunnel all trafc to a mobility controller
for centrally managed trafc forwarding and segmentation, data encryption, and policy enforcement.
Management options
Available management solutions include Aruba Central (cloud- managed) or OV3600 – a multi-vendor
on-premises management solution. For large installations across multiple sites, APs can be factoryshipped and can be activated with Zero Touch Provisioning through Aruba Central or OV3600. This
reduces deployment time, centralizes conguration, and helps manage inventory.
Additional Wi-Fi features
Each AP also includes the following standards-based technologies:
Transmit Beamforming (TxBF) Increased signal reliability and range
Passpoint Release 2 Seamless cellular-to-Wi-Fi carryover for guests
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) Optimized use of available RF spectrum
Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) Improved receiver performance for multi-antenna access points
Cyclic Delay/Shift Diversity (CDD/CSD) Enable use of multiple transmit antennas
Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) Increased connection robustness
Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) High performance error detection and correction coding for
enhanced receiver performance.
