Simple and Secure Access

To simplify policy enforcement, the 570 series uses HPE Aruba Networking’s Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) to encapsulate all traffic from the access point 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 HPE Aruba Networking Dynamic Segmentation.

Flexible Operation and Management

Our unified access points can operate as standalone access points or with a gateway for greater scalability, security, and manageability. Access points can be deployed using Zero Touch Provisioning—without on-site technical expertise—for ease of implementation in branch offices and for remote work.

HPE Aruba Networking access points can be managed using cloud-based or on-premises solutions for any campus, branch, or remote work environment.

HPE Aruba Networking Central provides a single pane of glass for overseeing every aspect of wired and wireless LANs, WANs, and VPNs. AI-powered analytics, end‑to‑end orchestration and automation, and advanced security features are built natively into the solution.
