About this product
The HPE Aruba Networking 560 Series Outdoor Access Points deliver cost-effective Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for outdoor and demanding environments. Equipped with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, and 802.15.4/Zigbee radios, these access points achieve a maximum aggregate data rate of 1.49 Gbps, ensuring fast and reliable wireless performance for medium-density outdoor deployments. Built to withstand harsh conditions, they are resistant to high winds, extreme temperatures, and moisture while supporting quick deployment via Zero Touch Provisioning.

Managed through HPE Aruba Networking Central, the solution offers unified visibility for wired and wireless LANs, WANs, and VPNs. It incorporates AI-driven analytics, end-to-end orchestration, automation, and advanced security features. Additionally, the 560 Series comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

Designed for challenging outdoor environments, these access points operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +65°C, even under full solar loading. They are weatherproof, resistant to dust, salt sprays, and wind speeds up to 165 mph. With support for OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and Target Wake Time (TWT), the series enhances efficiency and performance. HPE Aruba Networking ClientMatch technology further optimizes connectivity by directing clients to the best available access point.

The 560 Series also serves as an IoT-ready platform, eliminating the need for additional network overlays. Its integrated IoT radio supports Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee, while TWT extends battery life for connected devices. HPE Aruba Networking Central Client Insights provides deep packet inspection to monitor device behavior and enforce security policies effectively.

Security is strengthened through Dynamic Segmentation, which simplifies policy management by replacing traditional VLANs and ACLs with dynamic assignments. The access points support WPA3 encryption, Enhanced Open for secure guest access, and a policy enforcement firewall for end-to-end traffic protection. Additionally, a built-in Trusted Platform Module (TPM) safeguards credentials, keys, and boot code for enhanced device security.
