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).

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.

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.
ARUBA SECURE INFRASTRUCTURE
The Aruba 560 Series includes components of Aruba’s Zero Trust Security to help protect user authentication and wireless traffic. Select capabilities include:
WPA3 and Enhanced Open
Support for stronger encryption and authentication is provided via the latest version of WPA for enterprise protected networks. Enhanced Open offers seamless protection for users connecting to open networks where each session is automatically encrypted to protect user passwords and data on guest networks.

WPA2-MPSK
MPSK enables simpler passkey management for WPA2 devices – should the Wi-Fi password on one device or device type change, no additional changes are needed for other devices. Requires Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager.

VPN Tunnels
In Remote AP (RAP) and IAP-VPN deployments, the Aruba 560 Series can be used to establish a secure SSL/IPSec VPN tunnel to a Mobility Controller that is acting as a VPN concentrator.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
For enhanced device assurance, all Aruba APs have an installed TPM chip for secure storage of credentials and keys, and boot code.

SIMPLE AND SECURE ACCESS
To simplify policy enforcement, the Aruba 570 Series uses Aruba’s Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) to encapsulate all traffic from the AP to the Mobility Controller (gateway) for end-to-end encryption and inspection. Policies are applied based on context including user role, device type, application, and location. This reduces the manual configuration of SSIDs, VLANs, and ACLs. PEF also serves as the underlying technology for Aruba Dynamic Segmentation.
HIGH DENSITY CONNECTIVITY
Each 570 Series AP provide connectivity for a maximum of 512 associated clients per radio (1024 total).
Flexible Operation and Management
A unique feature of Aruba APs is the ability to operate in either controller-less or controller-based mode.
Controller-less (Instant) Mode
In controller-less mode, one AP serves as a virtual controller for the entire network. Learn more about Instant mode in this technology brief.
Mobility Controller Mode
For optimized network performance, roaming and security, APs tunnel all traffic to a mobility controller for central management of traffic forwarding, segmentation, encryption, and policy enforcement. Learn more in the ArubaOS datasheet.
Management Options
Available management choices include Aruba Central (cloudbased) or Aruba AirWave (multi-vendor, on prem) solutions.
For large installations across multiple sites, Aruba APs can be shipped and activated with Zero Touch Provisioning through Aruba Central or AirWave. This reduces deployment time, centralizes configuration, and provides inventory visibility
