ARUBA 560 SERIES
OUTDOOR ACCESS POINTS
Entry-level Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for outdoor and
warehouse environments
Weatherproof and temperature hardened, Aruba
560 series access points deliver cost-eective
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.
INCREDIBLE EFFICIENCY
The 560 Series access points (APs) are designed to optimize
user experience by maximizing Wi-Fi eciency and dramatically
reducing airtime contention between clients.
Features include Orthogonal frequency-division multiple
access (OFDMA), bi-directional multi-user MIMO and cellular
optimization. With up to 2 spatial streams, the 560 Series
provides reliable connectivity for most any application.
Read the Multi-User 802.11ax white paper for further
information.
Advantages of OFDMA
OFDMA capability allows Aruba APs to handle multiple Wi-Fi
6 capable clients on each channel simultaneously, regardless
of device or trac 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 SliceTM 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 specic trac 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 benet. For APs, Air Slice
uses Aruba Central for management. Controller-based APs will
be supported in a future sof tware 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 trac, 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 stick y 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 trac type – even as
users roam.
Aruba 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)
Aruba 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 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 (T WT)
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
trac. 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 oers seamless protection for users
connecting to open networks where each session is
automatically encrypted to protect user passwords and data
on guest networks.
SIMPLE AND SECURE ACCESS
To simplify policy enforcement, the Aruba 560 Series uses
Aruba’s Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) feature to
encapsulate all trac 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 conguration of SSIDs,
VLANs and ACLs. PEF also serves as the underlying technology
for Aruba Dynamic Segmentation .
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 (Instant) Mode
In controllerless mode, one AP serves as a virtual controller
for the entire network. Learn more about Instant mode in this
technology brief.
Mobility Controller Mode
For optimized network performance, roaming and security, APs
tunnel all trac to a mobility controller for centrally managed
trac forwarding and segmentation, data encr yption, and
policy enforcement. Learn more in the ArubaOS datasheet .
WPA 2-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.
Management Options
Available management solutions include Aruba Central (cloud-
managed) or Aruba AirWave – a multi-vendor on-premises
management solution. For large installations across multiple
sites, APs can be factory-shipped and can be activated with
Zero Touch Provisioning through Aruba Central or AirWave.
This reduces deployment time, centralizes conguration, and
helps manage inventory.
ADDITIONAL WI-FI FEATURES
Each AP also includes the following standards-based
technologies:
