Multiple uplink/downlink options

2.5 Gbps uplink/downlink Ethernet port, dedicated 1 Gbps uplink port, and three dedicated downlink ports to eliminate bottlenecks.

Cloud-native management

HPE Aruba Networking Central provides Zero Touch Provisioning and a single pane of glass for unified management across campus, branch, and remote work environments.

Cellular module

Can be extended with a CAT 12 module that includes antennas and a high-speed interface for LTE connectivity.

Desktop design

No mounts needed—plus bundles that combine a desk stand, power adapter, and power cord to eliminate excess packaging.

Remote work just got better

The new 600R Series APs leverage AOS 10 to provide fast, resilient, and secure Wi-Fi 6E connectivity for mission-critical work.

Faster performance with 6 GHz

Unlock the 6 GHz band to deliver up to 1200 MHz additional capacity and 3.6 Gbps maximum combined data rate to better support high-bandwidth, low-latency applications such as high-definition video.

Increase resiliency with cellular

For backup or primary cellular connectivity, the HPE Aruba Networking 600R Series Remote Access Points are offered with a CAT 12 module option that includes antennas and a high-speed interface for LTE connectivity.

Extend the WAN to remote workers

Using remote APs managed by HPE Aruba Networking Central, IT can remotely deploy and centrally manage secure network connectivity for hundreds or even thousands of remote workers or small office employees.

Ensure simple and secure access

Remote work increases the attack surface in an organization. These RAPs are better protected using new, sophisticated security models such as Zero Trust and SASE. Plus, Wi-Fi 6 enhancements like WPA3 and Enhanced Open provide data encryption and guest password security.
