Overview

Specifications

Resources

The Aruba 530 Series with 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), combined with Aruba intelligent software features are designed to deliver high performance connectivity in extreme density deployments of mobile and IoT devices.

The 530 Series is designed to simultaneously serve multiple clients and types of traffic, boosting overall network performance by up to 4X versus 802.11ac APs.

In addition to 802.11ax benefits, the 530 Series also provide Aruba differentiated capabilities that include AI-powered RF optimization, always-on connectivity and WPA3 certified security.

Additionally, Green AP mode for 802.11ax APs also leverages AI/ML capabilities for energy savings of up to 70%.

Enhanced performance

Smart power management

IoT and location ready

Aruba’s ClientMatch feature intelligently groups Wi-Fi 6 clients onto the best AP’s to leverage 802.11ax multi-user capabilities.

Aruba Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) allows APs to operate even if existing Ethernet switches lack adequate PoE power

Leverage your Wi-Fi infrastructure to support Zigbee and Bluetooth use cases, devices and applications

POWER SOURCES AND POWER CONSUMPTION
The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (POE; on port E0 and/or E1) When POE power is supplied to both Ethernet ports, the AP can be configured to combine or prioritize power sources When both DC and POE power sources are available, DC power takes priority over POE Power sources are sold separately; see the ordering Information section below for details When powered by DC, 802.3bt (class 5) POE or 2x 802.3at (class 4) POE, the AP will operate without restrictions. When powered by 1x 802.3at (class 4) POE and with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will disable the USB port and disable the other Ethernet port. In the same configuration but with IPM enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode, but may dynamically apply restrictions depending on the POE budget and actual power. The feature restrictions and order can be programmed. Operating the AP with an 802.3af (class 3 or lower) POE source is not supported. Maximum (worst-case) power consumption: DC powered: 23.3W POE powered (802.3bt or dual 802.3at): 26.4W POE powered (802.3at, IPM disabled): 23.3W All numbers above are without an external USB device connected. When sourcing the full 5W power budget to such a device, the incremental (worst-case) power consumption for the AP is up to 5.7W ( POE powered) or 5.5W ( DC powered). Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode: 13.3W ( POE) or 14.3W (DC) Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in deep-sleep mode: 3.8W (POE) or 3.6W (DC)
