ARUBA 570 SERIES
WIRELESS ACCESS POINTS
High performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for
outdoor environments
Weatherproof and temperature hardened, Aruba 570 Series
access points deliver the highest Wi-Fi 6 performance in
outdoor and environmentally challenging locations. The
high-performance and high power 570 Series APs deliver
maximum capacity and range. It delivers 4x4:4SS MU-MIMO
capability, Aruba’s advanced ClientMatch and integrated
Bluetooth to enable Aruba location services.
Purpose-built to survive in the harshest outdoor
environments, 570 Series APs 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 in dense mobile and IoT environments. With
maximum aggregate on air data rates of 3 Gbps (HE80/HE40),
the 570 Series APs deliver the speed and reliability needed
for demanding environments.
Advantages of OFDMA
This capability allows Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs to handle multiple
Wi-Fi 6 enabled clients simultaneously on a single radio.
Channel utilization is optimized per transaction by matching
allocated bandwidth in a channel to the oered user load.
These sub divisions of the channel are referred to as
Resource Units (RU).
Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO)
The 570 Series APs support downlink MU-MIMO similar to
Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) APs. With the introduction OFDMA
in Wi-Fi 6, the overhead for this capability is reduced and
MU-MIMO eectiveness is substantially improved for large
client counts.
INCREDIBLE EFFICIENCY
The 570 Series APs are designed to optimize user experience
by maximizing Wi-Fi eciency and dramatically reducing
airtime contention between clients.
Features include Uplink and Downlink Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Downlink Multi-User MIMO
(MU-MIMO) and cellular co-location. With up to 4spatial
stream and 160 MHz channel capability, the 570Series
provides groundbreaking wireless capabilities for any
application.
Read the Multi-User 802.11ax white paper for further
information.
Wi-Fi 6 and MU-MIMO aware client optimization
Aruba’s patented AI powered ClientMatch technology ensures
that all clients are attached to their best serving Access Point.
Session metrics, network metrics, applications and client type
are used to identify and maintain the best connection.
Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
The ACC feature uses built in ltering to automatically
minimize the impact of interference of high power cellular
base stations, in building distributed antenna systems as well
as small cell and femtocell equipment.
Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM)
Aruba APs continuously monitor and report hardware energy
consumption. APs can be congured to enable or disable
capabilities based on the available PoE power – ideal when
wired switches have exhausted their power budget.

IOT PLATFORM CAPABILITIES
Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs include 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 allow organizations to
leverage the 570 Series as an IoT platform, which eliminates
the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT
resources.
Target Wake Time (T WT)
Ideal for IoT solutions that communicate infrequently,
this Wi-Fi 6 capability allows IoT devices to use 802.11ax
protocol. TWT coordinates with client devices to allow them
to sleep for extended periods and use shorter wake times
to communicate before returning to sleep. This substantially
extends the useful operating life of Wi-Fi 6 based battery
powered sensors.
ARUBA SECURE INFRASTRUCTURE
The Aruba 570 Series is an integral part of Aruba’s zero trust
security approach to help protect user authentication and
wireless trac. Select capabilities include:
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
For enhanced device assurance, all Aruba APs have an
installed TPM for secure storage of credentials, keys and boot
code.
SIMPLE AND SECURE ACCESS
To simplify policy enforcement, the Aruba 570 Series uses
Aruba’s Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) to encapsulate all
trac from the AP to the Mobility Controller (gateway) for
end-to-end encryption and inspection. Policies are applied
based on context including user role, device type, application,
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 570 Series AP provide connectivity for a maximum of 512
associated clients per radio (1024 total).
Flexible Operation and Management
A unique feature of Aruba APs is the ability to operate in either
controller-less or controller-based mode.
WPA3 and Enhanced Open
With the introduction of WPA3 and Enhanced Open, a Wi-Fi 6
certied client will never send unencrypted trac over the air.
Even with an open authenticated network, Enhanced Open
still provides strong encryption over the air.
In all Wi-Fi 6 user sessions, each user is uniquely encrypted
and if they disconnect and reconnect, the encryption changes
from session to session.
WPA 2-MPSK
MPSK enables simpler passkey management for WPA2
devices – should the Wi-Fi password on one device change, no
additional changes are needed for other devices. This feature
is enabled when networks are deployed with ClearPass Policy
Manager.
VPN Tunnels
In Remote AP (RAP) and IAP-VPN deployments, the Aruba 570
Series can be used to establish a secure SSL/IPSec VPN tunnel
to a Gateway or Mobility Controller that is congured as a VPN
concentrator.
Controller-less (Instant) Mode
In controller-less 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 central
management of trac forwarding, segmentation, encryption,
and policy enforcement. Learn more in the ArubaOS
datasheet.
Management Options
Available management choices include Aruba Central (cloud-
based) or Aruba AirWave (multi-vendor, on prem) solutions.
For large installations across multiple sites, Aruba APs can be
shipped and activated with Zero Touch Provisioning through
Aruba Central or AirWave. This reduces deployment time,
centralizes conguration, and provides inventory visibility.
