Meet HPE Aruba Networking’s compact, cost-effective Wi-Fi 6E access point

More capacity to meet growing demands. The new 610 Series provides fast, resilient, and secure Wi-Fi 6E connectivity in a compact and affordable platform.

Greater capacity with 6 GHz

The HPE Aruba Networking 610 Series extends all the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 to the 6 GHz band: speed, more 80/160 MHz channels, and less interference to support high-definition video and more clients.

Cost-effective and compact

For enterprises who needed more wireless capacity and/or wider channels, the HPE Aruba Networking 610 Series features two radios that can be tuned to any two of the three available spectrum bands for cost-effective connectivity in a compact form factor. The 610 Series provides tri-band coverage when deployed in a multi-AP environment.

Highly efficient and secure

Wi-Fi 6E extends support to the 6 GHz band based on the 802.11ax standard. 802.11ax provides greater efficiency and higher levels of guest and password security with orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), Enhanced Open, and WPA3. The 610 Series APs also offer client optimization, automated radio frequency management, and intelligent power monitoring.

Greater IoT support

HPE Aruba Networking 610 Series APs act as an IoT transport platform without the need to deploy or manage overlay gateways. The APs include integrated Bluetooth Low Energy 5 (BLE) and 802.15.4/Zigbee radios plus dynamic segmentation for added security making it easier to deploy and manage.

Power sources and power consumption
The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (POE) on port E0

When both DC and POE power sources are available, DC power takes priority over POE

Power sources are sold separately; see the 610 Series Ordering Guide for details

When powered by DC or 802.3at (class 4) POE, the AP will operate without restrictions

When powered by 802.3af (class 3) POE with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will disable the USB port

With IPM enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode but may dynamically apply restrictions depending on the available power budget and actual consumption. The feature restrictions and order in which these get applied are configurable.

Maximum (worst-case) power consumption (without / with a USB device attached):

    • DC powered: 12.5W/18.2W
    • POE powered: 14.7W/20.9W
    • This assumes that up to 5W is supplied to the attached USB device

Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode: 5.6W/11.0W (DC) or 6.9W/12.9W (POE)

Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in deep-sleep mode: 1.0W (DC) or 1.8W (POE)
