Overview

The HPE Aruba Networking 530 Series Campus Access Points provide Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for high-density deployments such as larger office spaces, training and meeting facilities, and hospitals. Providing up to 2.97 Gbps combined aggregate data rate, this series is built on Wi-Fi 6 standards (IEEE 802.11ax) and includes features such as OFDMA, bidirectional MU-MIMO, and target wait time (TWT) for better multi-user performance and improved efficiency. The 530 series can be deployed using zero touch provisioning (ZTP) without on‑site technical expertise, for ease of implementation in branch offices and for remote work. HPE Aruba Networking Central provides a single pane of glass for overseeing 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. The 530 series includes a limited lifetime warranty.

What’s new

• Wi-Fi 6 access points (APs) provide up to 2.97 Gbps combined aggregate data rate
• Dual radio AP supporting 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands (4×4 MIMO)
• Protects network security with stronger encryption and authentication, secure credentials/keys storage, and user and IoT access policy enforcement firewalls (PEFs)
• IoT-ready with support for Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee and two 5 Gbps ports for fast wired connectivity
• Deploy models with internal antennas or connectorized models that support external antennas to meet the range of environments

Features

Two 5 Gbps ports provide flexibility to support speeds of 1, 2.5, or 5 Gbps (or 100 Mbps).

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.

The HPE Aruba Networking 530 Series Campus Access Points support AI-powered dynamic power save mode which enables APs to automatically wake up at a schedule when connectivity demand arises, reducing power demands and lowering the energy footprint.

The intelligent power monitoring (IPM) provides the ability to enable or disable capabilities based on available PoE power.

Sustainability

HPE Aruba Networking Central Client Insights uses deep packet inspection to provide additional context and behavioral information that helps verify devices are receiving proper policy enforcement and continuously monitor for rogue devices.

For enhanced device assurance, the 530 series include an installed trusted platform module (TPM) for protected storage of credentials and keys, and boot code.

The AP supports an integrated Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio (for Zigbee support), as well as a USB port for increased flexibility, providing better security and reliable connectivity for IoT devices.

The HPE Aruba Networking 530 Series Campus Access Points can serve as IoT platforms that bolster network security and provide coverage for a range of IoT devices without the need for network overlays.

IoT Ready

The AP simplifies policy enforcement by using the PEF to encapsulate all traffic from the AP to the gateway (or mobility controller) for end-to-end encryption and inspection.

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

The HPE Aruba Networking 530 Series Campus Access Points offer enhanced security with dynamic segmentation to remove the time-consuming and error-prone task of managing complex and static VLANs, ACLs, and subnets by dynamically assigning policies and keeping traffic protected and separated.

Security By Design
Boost your Wi-Fi 6 Performance

The HPE Aruba Networking 530 Series Campus Access Points are designed to simultaneously serve multiple clients and traffic types providing up to 2.97 Gbps combined aggregate data rate.

Dual-radio (dual 4×4 MIMO) 802.11ax AP with up-and downlink OFDMA and Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO).

The AP includes features such as OFDMA, bidirectional MU-MIMO, and target wait time (TWT) for better multi-user performance and improved efficiency.

Enhanced wireless experience with HPE Aruba Networking ClientMatch technology removes sticky client issues by steering a client to the AP where it it receives one of the best radio signals.
