HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) provides a single view of the entire network. Support for IPv4/IPv6, and MPLS/VPLS features provide investment protection and an easy transition from IPv4 to IPv6 networks and ease of maintenance is assured with Graceful Insertion and Removal (GIR) and In Service Software Update (ISSU).

High performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for outdoor environments

Weatherproof and temperature hardened, Aruba 570 Series access points deliver the highest Wi-Fi 6 performance in outdoor and environmentally challenging locations. The high-performance and high power 570 Series APs deliver maximum capacity and range. It delivers 4x4:4SS MU-MIMO capability, Aruba's advanced ClientMatch and integrated Bluetooth to enable Aruba location services.

Purpose-built to survive in the harshest outdoor environments, 570 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.

Aruba Wi-Fi 6 access points provide high-performance connectivity in dense mobile and IoT environments. With maximum aggregate on air data rates of 3 Gbps (HE80/HE40), the 570 Series APs deliver the speed and reliability needed for demanding environments.

INCREDIBLE EFFICIENCY

The 570 Series APs are designed to optimize user experience by maximizing Wi-Fi efficiency and dramatically reducing airtime contention between clients.

Features include Uplink and Downlink Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Downlink Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) and cellular co-location. With up to 4 spatial stream and 160 MHz channel capability, the 570 Series provides groundbreaking wireless capabilities for any application. Read the Multi-User 802.11ax white paper for further information.

Advantages of OFDMA

This capability allows Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs to handle multiple Wi-Fi 6 enabled clients simultaneously on a single radio. Channel utilization is optimized per transaction by matching allocated bandwidth in a channel to the offered user load. These sub divisions of the channel are referred to as Resource Units (RU).

Aruba Air Slice for Extended OFDMA Assurance

Initially, APs in controller-less mode (Instant) can provide SLA- grade performance by allocating RUs to specific traffic types. By combining Aruba's Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) and Layer 7 deep packet inspection (DPI) to identify user roles and applications, the APs will dynamically allocate the bandwidth needed. Non-Wi-Fi 6 clients can also benefit.

Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO)

The 570 Series APs support downlink MU-MIMO similar to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) APs. With the introduction OFDMA in Wi-Fi 6, the overhead for this capability is reduced and MU-MIMO effectiveness is substantially improved for large client counts.

Wi-Fi 6 and MU-MIMO aware client optimization

Aruba's patented AI powered ClientMatch technology ensures that all clients are attached to their best serving Access Point. Session metrics, network metrics, applications and client type are used to identify and maintain the best connection.

Aruba Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)

The ACC feature uses built in filtering to automatically minimize the impact of interference of high power cellular base stations, in building distributed antenna systems as well as small cell and femtocell equipment.

Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM)

Aruba APs continuously monitor and report hardware energy consumption. APs can be configured to enable or disable capabilities based on the available PoE power - ideal when wired switches have exhausted their power budget.

IOT PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs include an integrated Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio (for Zigbee support) to simplify deploying and managing IoT-based location services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT sensors. This allow organizations to leverage the 570 Series as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources

Target Wake Time (TWT)

Ideal for IoT solutions that communicate infrequently, this Wi-Fi 6 capability allows IoT devices to use 802.11ax protocol. TWT coordinates with client devices to allow them to sleep for extended periods and use shorter wake times to communicate before returning to sleep. This substantially extends the useful operating life of Wi-Fi 6 based battery powered sensors.
