ARUBA 270 SERIES
OUTDOOR ACCESS POINTS

Setting a higher standard for 802.11ac

Innovative and aesthetically-designed 270 series
outdoor wireless access points deliver gigabit Wi-Fi
performance to 802.11ac mobile devices under any
weather conditions. The 270 series is also the only
outdoor AP that enables 802.11n clients to operate
three-times faster at greater distances.

Purpose-built to survive in the harshest outdoor

environments, 270 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.

With a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps in the 5-GHz band

and 600 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band, 270 series outdoor APs

supports concurrent dual-radio operation at speeds that

greatly exceed Fast Ethernet.

WI-FI CLIENT OPTIMIZATION

To eliminate sticky client behavior and ensure consistently

high performance, every Aruba AP includes ClientMatch

technology, which gathers session performance metrics that

steer mobile devices to the best AP and radio on the WLAN

in real time.

UNIQUE BENEFITS

• Innovative industrial design

 - Eliminates installation complexity

 - Inconspicuous design that improves aesthetics

 - Delivers IP66- and IP67-rated protection from

the elements

• Best-in-class RF management

 - Integrated Adaptive Radio Management technology

manages the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands and

ensures that APs stay clear of RF interference

• Reliable and predictable Wi-Fi performance

 - Patented ClientMatch technology ensures that

roaming clients associate with the best AP to

maximize performance

 - AppRF technology identies and prioritizes applications

on the network

• Spectrum analysis

 - Capable of part-time or dedicated spectrum analysis,

which scans the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands to

identify sources of RF interference

• Limited lifetime warranty – an industry rst for outdoors

CHOOSE YOUR OPERATING MODE

The 270 series of outdoor APs oers a choice of operating

modes to meet your unique management and

deployment requirements.

• Controller-managed AP or Remote AP (RAP) running

ArubaOS. When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers,

the 270 series oers centralized conguration, data

encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as

well as distributed and centralized trac forwarding.

• Aruba Instant AP running InstantOS. In Aruba Instant

mode, one AP automatically distributes the network

conguration to other APs. Just power-up one Instant AP,

congure it over the air, and plug in the other APs – the

entire process takes about ve minutes.

• Secure enterprise mesh

DATA SHEET

ARUBA 270 SERIES OUTDOOR ACCESS POINTS

In addition to operation mode, the APs can be optionally

congured to perform the following functions:

• Spectrum analysis: Dedicated scan mode identies

sources of RF interference.

• Air monitoring: Dedicated scan mode provides wireless

intrusion protection.

• Hybrid AP: Serves Wi-Fi clients and simultaneously provides

wireless intrusion protection and spectrum analysis.

For large installations with multiple sites, the Aruba Activate

service reduces deployment time by automating provisioning,

rmware upgrades, and inventory management. With Aruba

Activate, Instant APs are factor y shipped to any site and

congure themselves when powered up.

If WLAN and network requirements change, a built-in

migration path allows 270 series Instant APs to become part

of a WLAN that is centrally managed by a Mobility Controller.
