Ease of Deployment and Maintenance

With HPE Aruba Networking Central, onboarding, configuring, and provisioning are simpler and require no manual CLI configuration or maintenance windows. Once the access point is plugged in, the device connects and receives its running configuration from the cloud using zero touch provisioning, which allows remote workers and small offices to onboard and configure wireless connectivity without any on‑site IT support. To avoid downtime or loss of service caused by upgrades, HPE Aruba Networking Central offers Live Upgrade functionality to reduce maintenance windows and ensure continuous wireless operations. In addition, HPE Aruba Networking 600R Series Remote access points are offered in a number of bundles that combine an access point variant, a desk stand, power adapter, and North American or European power cord. This eliminates packaging and transport waste and helps organizations meet sustainability goals.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi 6 CERTIFIED™ for 6 GHz

HPE Aruba Networking 600R Series Remote Access Points are fully Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ to meet all the requirements for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for greater efficiency including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and Target Wake Time to extend battery life of devices.

RF optimization

ML-based radio frequency optimization known as AirMatch dynamically adjusts resources such as power to optimize coverage and eliminate coverage gaps.

Advanced Cellular Coexistence

Built-in filtering automatically minimizes the impact of interference from cellular networks, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and commercial small cell or femtocell equipment.

Indoor Location Aware

HPE Aruba Networking 600R Series Remote Access Points include embedded GPS receivers and fine time measurement to accurately auto-locate themselves. They also support Open Locate, an emerging standard that allows access points to share their location over the air and through cloud-based APIs.

IoT ready

HPE Aruba Networking 600R Series Remote Access Points 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. There is also a USB-port extension to provide IoT connectivity to a wider range of devices. These IoT capabilities allow organizations to leverage our access points as an IoT transport, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources and can accelerate IoT initiatives.

In addition, Target Wake Time (TWT) establishes a schedule for when clients need to communicate with an access point. This helps improve client power savings and reduces airtime contention with other clients, which is ideal for IoT.

Security

Remote work increases the attack surface in an organization. With HPE Aruba Networking Central, HPE Aruba Networking 600R Series Remote Access Points are better protected using new, sophisticated security models such as Zero Trust and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). A fundamental concept of both Zero Trust and SASE security frameworks is identity- based access control that grants least-privilege access for a device or user, restricting them from accessing resources not required to complete their tasks.

AI Client Insights

ML-based classification of all clients via Client Insights uses deep packet inspection to provide additional context and behavioral information that help ensure devices are receiving proper policy enforcement and continuously monitor for rogue devices.

User and Device Authentication

Cloud-native Network Access Control (NAC) provided by HPE Aruba Networking Central further simplifies how IT controls network access while providing a frictionless experience for end users. Global policy automation and orchestration enables IT to define and maintain global policies at scale with ease, using UI-driven, intuitive workflows that automatically translate security intent into policy design and map user roles for employees, contractors, guests, and devices to their proper access privileges.

Intrusion Detection

HPE Aruba Networking Central utilizes the Rogue AP Intrusion Detection Service (RAPIDS) to identify and resolve issues caused by rogue access points and clients. Wired and wireless data is automatically correlated to identify potential threats, thereby strengthening network security and improving incident response processes by reducing false positives.

Web Content Filtering

Web Content Classification (WebCC) classifies websites by content category and rates them by reputation and risk score, enabling IT to block malicious sites to help prevent phishing, DDoS, botnets, and other common attacks.

WPA3 and Enhanced Open

As part of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), WPA3 ensures stronger encryption and authentication while Enhanced Open offers protection for users connecting to open networks by automatically encrypting each session to protect user passwords and data on guest networks. In addition, 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.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

For enhanced device assurance, all HPE Aruba Networking APs include an installed TPM for secure storage of credentials and keys, and boot code.

Standards Based Technologies

HPE Aruba Networking 600R Series Remote Access Points also include the following standards-based technologies:

• – Transmit Beamforming to increase signal reliability and range
• – Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) to optimize use of available RF spectrum
• – Maximum Rate Combining (MRC) for improved receiver performance
• – Cyclic Delay/Shift Diversity (CDD/CSD) to deliver greater downlink RF performance
• – Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) to increase range and improve reception
• – Low‑Density Parity Check (LDPC) to provide high‑efficiency error correction and improve throughput

Summary

HPE Aruba Networking 600R Series Remote Access Points are designed to make remote work better and provide seamless connectivity for small branches by taking advantage of the 6 GHz band. With Wi-Fi 6E coverage, IT can better support work-from-home employees using high-bandwidth, low-latency applications such as video conferencing, telehealth, high-definition video, and AR/VR. For greater reliability, a cellular module can be added for high-speed backup connectivity.
