Product Overview
Aruba 560EX Series Wi-Fi 6 HazLoc Access Point (802.11ax), Aruba 560EX Series APs deliver Wi-Fi 6 performance and security for the most extreme conditions requiring Class 1 Division 2 or ATEX Zone 2 certification. The 560EX Series Hazardous Location APs feature Class 1 Division 2 and ATEX Zone 2 certification to operate in hazardous locations like oil and gas and potentially explosive environments – with Wi-Fi 6 to support critical access and IoT functionality.
Ultimate efficiency
Supporting higher speed and higher user densities, the 560EX Series APs maximize performance and efficiency with support for OFDMA and MU-MIMO technologies, enabling the most efficient communication between the client and access point.
IoT and location-ready
Aruba Wi-Fi 6 supports 802.15.4/Zigbee, Bluetooth, and third-party overlays to simplify the deployment and management of IoT services, asset-tracking services, security solutions, and IoT sensors. Ideal for IoT infrequent communications.
Simple and secure access
Enforces built-in policy firewall (layer 7) for each new client on the network and utilizes Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager for centralized policy management. For enhanced security, the 560EX Series APs provide storage of credentials, keys, and booting.
Features
Groundbreaking Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, Supports wired and wireless connectivity, in a single device, for up to 1.5 Gbps wireless throughput and 256 associated clients per radio.
1.5 Gbps maximum speed (HE80/HE20)
Delivers higher speed and reliability for hazardous locations like oil and gas and potentially explosive environments.
Wi-Fi 6 for OFDMA and WPA3
Handles multiple clients regardless of device or traffic type, plus WPA3 and Advanced Open increases enterprise security.
IoT-ready Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4/Zigbee support
Simplifies deploying and managing IoT location services, asset-tracking services, security solutions, and IoT sensors.
Dynamic Segmentation and policy-enforcement firewalls
Enforces (automatically) consistent policies across all networks, keeping users and devices secure.
AI-powered, Wi-Fi radio frequency RF with AirMatch
Utilizes AI learning, Air Match provides automated RF optimization and looks at analytics across the entire network.
Air Slice for SLA-grade performance
Guarantees a predictable user experience, prioritizing traffic and arrival of time-sensitive data with Air Slice application.
