HPE Aruba R4W41A Wireless Access Points Overview
Entry-level Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for outdoor and warehouse environments
Weatherproof and temperature hardened, Aruba 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.
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.
The Aruba advanced ClientMatch technology and an integrated Bluetooth beacon can help enable Aruba location services.
What Wi-Fi 6 performance can I expect from the HPE Aruba 560 Series AP?
The HPE Aruba 560 Series delivers up to 1.49 Gbps aggregate throughput with dual 2×2:2 radios—1.2 Gbps on the 5 GHz HE80 band and 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz HE40 band. OFDMA and MU-MIMO technologies optimize capacity for efficient multi-user access, making it ideal for high-density deployments in campuses, venues, and industrial sites.
Is the HPE Aruba 560 Series suitable for outdoor and harsh environments?
Yes, the 560 Series is purpose-built for outdoor deployment with an IP55-rated enclosure that resists dust and moisture. It operates reliably across extreme temperatures from –40 °C to +65 °C and features wind-resistant construction, making it an excellent choice for rugged industrial and campus environments.
Does this access point support IoT devices and sensors?
Absolutely. The HPE Aruba 560 Series integrates Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios natively, enabling seamless IoT deployments without additional hardware. This makes it simple to connect and manage IoT sensors and devices alongside your primary Wi-Fi 6 network.
What power options are available for the HPE Aruba 560 Series AP?
We offer two power options for maximum deployment flexibility: 802.3af/at PoE (Power over Ethernet) or 12 V DC. The access point is highly efficient, consuming just 15.6 W at maximum load and only 4.2 W in idle mode, reducing operational costs.
How does zero-touch provisioning simplify deployment?
The HPE Aruba 560 Series features automated zero-touch provisioning and cloud-based centralized management, which dramatically reduces operational complexity during large-scale rollouts. Simply power on the access point, and it automatically configures and joins your network—no manual configuration required.
What security features are built into the 560 Series for guest and operational traffic?
The access point includes dynamic segmentation and a built-in policy enforcement firewall that isolates and protects guest traffic from operational networks. This ensures your critical business traffic remains secure while providing controlled guest access—all managed centrally from the cloud management platform.
