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.

Multi-user Efficiency with Wi-Fi 6

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.
