Product Overview
The 630 Series APs are designed to take advantage of the 6 GHz band, which translates into far greater speeds, wider channels for multi-gigabit traffic, and less interference. It delivers 3.9 Gbps maximum aggregate data rates Tri-radio, 2×2:2 MIMO in all three bands (3.9Gbps aggregate peak).
Less interference
630 Series APs include HPE Aruba Networking’s unique ultra tri-band filtering, which enables enterprises to take advantage of the high end of 5 GHz band with the lower end of 6 GHz without experiencing signal interference or performance degradation.
Ultimate efficiency
The 630 Series APs are based on the 802.11ax standard, which means that all its efficiency and security enhancements are also available on the 6 GHz band. Features include Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), Multi-User MIMO as well as other capabilities built into HPE Aruba Networking’s Wi-Fi 6 access points.
IoT and location ready
The 630 Series includes 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.
Features
Aruba 630 Series APs take advantage of the 6 GHz band and include ultra tri-band filtering and dual 2.5 Gbps ethernet ports to eliminate coverage gaps and deliver fast, secure connectivity.
Business continuity
Ensures high availability with two 2.5 Gbps HPE Smart Rate ethernet ports for hitless failover for both data and power.
Built-in security
Includes Wi-Fi 6E standards such as WPA3 and Enhanced Open and WPA2-MPSK for stronger encryption and authentication.
Role-based access
Improves security and ease of management by allowing IT to centrally configure and automatically enforce role-based policies across wired and wireless networks.
Client steering
Steers traffic from the noisy 2.4 GHz band to the preferred 5 GHz or 6 GHz band based on device capabilities and dynamically steers traffic to load balance APs.
