HPE Aruba Networking 679EX Outdoor Access Points
High performance Wi‑Fi 6E for outdoor with 670EX for hazardous locations

Overview:

The HPE Aruba Networking 670 Series Outdoor Access Points bring high performance Wi-Fi 6E to outdoor and environmentally challenging locations. The 670 series deliver more wireless capacity and wider channels taking advantage of Wi-Fi 6E and the 6 GHz band to more than double capacity to meet the speed and reliability needed by enterprise and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) environments.

The 670 Series access points are weatherproof, temperature hardened, and ready for hazardous environments. With integrated high-power Bluetooth and Zigbee radios, fast wired connectivity, and a limited lifetime warranty, the access points (APs) provide high-performance outdoor connectivity you can depend on, delivering up to 3.9 Gbps maximum aggregate data rate with a tri-radio 2x2:2 MIMO access point (AP). This series includes the 670EX models that are designed for the most extreme, hazardous locations.

High Performance Outdoor Wi-Fi 6E

HPE Aruba Networking 670 Series Outdoor Access Points operate as standard power (SP) devices and deliver greater efficiency with OFDMA, MUMIMO, and target wake time (TWT) to extend the battery life of devices.

Fast performance with 6 GHz band that delivers up to 1200 MHz additional capacity and 3.6 Gbps maximum combined data rate to better support highbandwidth, low-latency applications such as high-definition video.

Fast performance with 6 GHz band that delivers up to 1200 MHz additional capacity and 3.6 Gbps maximum combined data rate to better support highbandwidth, low-latency applications such as high-definition video.

Fast performance with 6 GHz band that delivers up to 1200 MHz additional capacity and 3.6 Gbps maximum combined data rate to better support highbandwidth, low-latency applications such as high-definition video.

It offers convenient wired connectivity with fast 2.5 GbE uplink port and 1 GbE port.

Simplified Access with Enhanced Security

The HPE Aruba Networking 670 Series Outdoor Access Points offer enhanced security with Dynamic Segmentation to eliminate the time consuming and errorprone task of managing complex and static VLANs, ACLs, and subnets by dynamically assigning policies and keeping traffic secure and separated.

It offers network protection with stronger encryption and authentication with WPA3, secure credentials/keys storage for guest access with Enhanced Open, and user and IoT access policy enforcement firewalls (PEF).

Simplified policy enforcement with the Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) that encapsulates all traffic from the AP to the gateway (or mobility controller) for end-to-end encryption and inspection.

For enhanced device assurance, our access points include an installed TPM for secure storage of credentials and keys, and boot code.

Ruggedized and Ready for IoT

The HPE Aruba Networking 670 Series Outdoor Access Points include integrated high-power Bluetooth and Zigbee radios to simplify deploying and managing IoT-based location services, asset tracking services, security solutions, and IoT sensors.

Ruggedized outdoor access points support extended temperatures to address the requirements of a broad range of surface, subsurface, and offshore applications. This series includes 670EX outdoor models that are designed for the most extreme, hazardous locations.

The target wake time (TWT) establishes a schedule for when clients need to communicate with an AP to help improve client power savings and reduce airtime contention with other clients.

Advanced IoT Coexistence (AIC) feature uses built-in filtering to allow Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee radios to operate at higher capacity without the impact of interference.

The intelligent power monitoring (IPM) provides insights into energy consumption, our access points continuously monitor and report hardware energy usage. Unlike the other vendors access points, our access points can also be configured to enable or disable capabilities based on available PoE power.
