HPE Aruba R4W45A 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 is the maximum throughput of the HPE Aruba 560 Series AP?
The HPE Aruba 560 Series delivers 1.49 Gbps aggregate Wi-Fi 6 throughput, with 1.2 Gbps on the 5 GHz HE80 band and 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz HE40 band. This performance is optimized through OFDMA and MU-MIMO technologies, which enable efficient multi-user access and capacity allocation across multiple devices simultaneously.
Is the HPE Aruba 560 Series suitable for outdoor and harsh environments?
Yes, the 560 Series is specifically designed for outdoor deployment with an IP55-rated enclosure that resists dust and moisture. It operates reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from –40 °C to +65 °C and is engineered to withstand wind and weather, making it ideal for campuses, venues, and industrial sites.
What IoT connectivity options does this access point support?
The HPE Aruba 560 Series integrates Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios alongside its Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, enabling seamless IoT device connectivity and deployment. These integrated radios allow you to support a diverse range of IoT sensors and devices without requiring separate hardware.
How is the HPE Aruba 560 Series powered and what are its power requirements?
The 560 Series offers flexible power options with support for both 802.3af/at PoE (Power over Ethernet) and 12 V DC direct power. Maximum power consumption is 15.6 W, with an idle consumption of just 4.2 W, making it efficient for large-scale deployments across multiple access points.
What management and provisioning capabilities does this access point offer?
The HPE Aruba 560 Series features zero-touch provisioning and centralized cloud management, which significantly reduce operational complexity and deployment time. Built-in dynamic segmentation and policy enforcement firewalls keep guest and operational traffic secure while simplifying network administration across distributed locations.
What antenna options are available for the HPE Aruba 560 Series?
We offer the 560 Series in two model configurations: one with an internal omnidirectional antenna for 360-degree coverage, and another with an integrated directional antenna for focused coverage in specific areas. Both options connect via a single 1×1 GbE RJ-45 uplink port and are compact at 110 × 165 × 165 mm. Contact us today to determine which antenna configuration best suits your deployment requirements.
