DATA SHEET

For enterprises who need more wireless capacity and/or

wider channels, Aruba 610 Series Campus APs are designed

to take advantage of the newly available 6 GHz spectrum

using a unique dual-radio/tri-band architecture. Adding

support for the 6 GHz band to the traditional 2.4 GHz and 5

GHz bands more than doubles the available wireless capacity

in a wireless network – so you can meet growing demand due

to bandwidth-hungry video, increasing numbers of client and

with software that will intelligently and exibly congure the

radios of each of these dual-radio APs.

More capacity and wider channels

The Aruba 610 Series APs are designed to take advantage

of Wi-Fi 6E and the 6 GHz band, which translates into far

greater speeds, wider channels for multi-gigabit trac,

and less interference. Its two 2x2 MIMO radios deliver a

combined peak data rate of up to 3.6 Gbps when congured

for concurrent 5 GHz and 6 GHz operation.

ARUBA 610 SERIES WI-FI 6E

• Comprehensive dual radio/tri-band coverage across

2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz to deliver up to 3.6 Gbps

combined peak data rate

• Compact and low power consumption – virtually

unrestricted operation from an 802.3af (class 3) PoE

source

2

• Up to seven 160 MHz channels in 6 GHz to support

low-latency, bandwidth-hungry applications like high-

themselves and serve as reference points for

accurate indoor location measurements

By default (with IPM disabled) the AP-615 will disable the USB port and limit the speed of the Ethernet port to 1Gbps when on class 3 POE.

The Intelligent Power Monitoring feature can be used to avoid these restrictions

Advantages of 6 GHz

Wi-Fi 6E provides up to 1200 MHz of additional unlicensed

spectrum in the 6 GHz band for higher throughput and

improved application performance. With up to seven 160

MHz channels, Wi-Fi 6E can better support low-latency,

bandwidth hungry applications like high-denition video

and augmented reality/virtual reality applications. Only Wi-Fi

6E capable devices can use the 6 GHz band so there is no

interference or slowdowns due to legacy devices.

The Aruba 610 Series APs are part of the low power indoor

(LPI) device class. This xed indoor-only class uses lower

power levels and does not require an Automated Frequency

Coordination service (AFC) to manage incumbent outdoor

services, which is required for standard class APs.

the globe, countries are approaching the 6 GHz band

dierently. The 610 Series APs are set up to automatically

update regulatory rules once Wi-Fi 6E regulations have been

approved and certied.

6 features such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple

Access (OFDMA), BSS coloring etc. are fully supported on the

Aruba Wi-Fi 6E access points as well.

Advantages of OFDMA

The Aruba 610 Series is equipped with OFDMA to handle

multiple 802.11ax capable clients on each channel

simultaneously, regardless of device or trac type. Channel

utilization is optimized by handling each transaction via

smaller sub-carriers or resource units (RUs), which means

that clients are sharing a channel and not competing for

noisy 2.4 GHz band to the preferred 5 GHz or 6 GHz

band depending on client capabilities and AP setttings.

ClientMatch also dynamically steers trac to load balance

APs to improve the user experience.

Automated Wi-Fi radio frequency management

To optimize the user experience and provide greater stability,

Aruba AirMatch allows organizations to automate network

optimization using machine learning. AirMatch provides

dynamic bandwidth adjustments to support changing device

density, enhanced roaming using an even distribution of

With Aruba Air Slice, organizations can provide application

assurance to their users that goes beyond the traditional

capabilities of airtime fairness. After the SLAs are congured,

Air Slice monitors network usage, automatically allocates

radio resources, and dynamically adjusts radio resources as

new users connect and applications sessions begin or end.

and commercial small cell or femtocell equipment.

exhausted their power budget. Enterprises can deploy Wi-Fi

6E APs and update switching and power at a later if needed

based on their actual usage.

Self-Locating APs

Indoor location shouldn’t require guesswork or costly overlay

technologies. Aruba’s Wi-Fi 6 and 6E APs help organizations

leverage their wireless investment to deliver indoor location

– everywhere.

Aruba 610 Series Campus APs include built-in GPS receivers

and intelligent software to allow them to automatically locate

themselves accurately within the universal framework of

latitude and longitude. As part of Aruba’s indoor location

services solution, they serve as reference points for client

devices using ne time measurements (802.11mc) and other

location technologies.

In addition, Aruba’s Wi-Fi 6 and 6E APs support Open Locate,

an emerging standard that allows APs to share their location

over the air and through cloud-based APIs, enabling mobile

devices to locate themselves and applications to support

The Aruba 610 Series includes 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 allows organizations

to leverage Aruba APs as an IoT transport platform, which

In addition, Target Wake Time (TWT), part of the 802.11ax

standard, establishes a schedule for when clients need to

communicate with an AP. This helps improve client power

savings and reduces airtime contention with other clients,

protected networks. Enhanced Open oers seamless new

protection for users connecting to open networks where

each session is automatically encrypted to protect user

passwords and data on guest networks.

• WPA2-MPSK

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. This capability requires Aruba ClearPass

Policy Manager.

• Simple and secure access

based policies that dene proper access privileges for

employees, guests, contractors, and other user groups

– no matter where users connect on wired and WLANs.

Dynamic Segmentation eliminates the time consuming

and error-prone task of managing complex and static

VLANs, ACLs, and subnets by dynamically assigning

policies and keeping trac secure and separated.
