The Aruba advanced ClientMatch technology and an integrated Bluetooth beacon can help enable Aruba location services.
What Wi-Fi 6 performance does the HPE Aruba 560 Series AP deliver?
The HPE Aruba 560 Series AP delivers up to 1.49 Gbps aggregate throughput with dual 2×2:2 radios, providing 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 in high-density environments like campuses and venues. We offer this model with internal omni or integrated directional antenna options to suit your deployment needs.
Is the HPE Aruba 560 Series suitable for outdoor and harsh environments?
Yes, the HPE Aruba 560 Series AP is specifically designed 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 is engineered to withstand wind and weather conditions typical of industrial sites and outdoor venues. This rugged form factor makes it ideal for warehouse perimeters, outdoor manufacturing facilities, and campus grounds.
What IoT connectivity options does this access point support?
The HPE Aruba 560 Series includes integrated Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios for seamless IoT device integration alongside your primary Wi-Fi 6 network. These built-in radios enable you to connect and manage IoT sensors, beacons, and devices without requiring separate hardware. Contact us today to discuss how to integrate IoT deployments with your wireless infrastructure.
What power options are available for the HPE Aruba 560 Series AP?
We offer flexible power delivery options including standard 802.3af/at PoE (Power over Ethernet) or direct 12 V DC power supply. The access point consumes a maximum of 15.6 W during operation and only 4.2 W in idle mode, making it energy-efficient for large-scale deployments. This low power consumption reduces operational costs while maintaining enterprise-class performance.
How does zero-touch provisioning simplify deployment of these access points?
The HPE Aruba 560 Series supports automated zero-touch provisioning and centralized cloud management, which dramatically reduces the time and complexity of deploying multiple access points across your network. Rather than manually configuring each device, your team can automatically provision and manage APs at scale through HPE Aruba's management platform. This streamlined approach is especially valuable for large warehouse operations and multi-site deployments.
What security features protect guest and operational traffic on this access point?
The HPE Aruba 560 Series includes dynamic segmentation and a built-in firewall to enforce policies that keep guest and operational traffic secure and separate. These features prevent unauthorized access and ensure compliance with your security requirements across different user classes and applications.
