Aruba's 630 Series enterprise-grade campus Wi-Fi APs represent the industry's first such 6E devices. Their ingenious design makes them fully compatible with the new 6GHz band, which the FCC recently made available for unlicensed use. The new 6E devices allow your organization to benefit from wider channels and increased capacity.

The 630 series of advanced Wi-Fi APs supports high-quality enterprise needs. Examples are HD video applications, IoT, VR, and AR. Following in the footsteps of the US, over 30 other countries also opened up their 6GHz band frequencies, with more expected to follow suit. This development points to increased future demand for Aruba's 630 series of next-generation APs.

Key Features of the 630 Series

These 6E APs have a reputation for high performance, efficiency, less interference, and IoT readiness. Their key characteristics include:

• Increased Speeds

The 6GHz band more than doubles the available capacity by providing up to 1200 MHz for higher throughput. The 2.4 GHz band provides up to 287 Mbps of throughput. Additionally, the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands offer up to 1.2 Gbps and 2.4 Gbps throughput, respectively. Therefore, the total aggregate data delivery on the three bands is 3.9 Gbps.

• Tri-band Coverage

The 630 Series enterprise APs have dual 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports and tri-band filtering. These features deliver fast and secure connectivity while eliminating{{cta('a7735678-0532-4d20-bbe5-d5af93357bdb','justifyright')}} coverage gaps. Wi-Fi 6E utilizes a maximum of seven 160 MHz channels to provide low latency. It also supports bandwidth-heavy applications such as AR/VR and HD video.

• In-built Security

The 630 series incorporates the highest Wi-Fi security standards, including WPA3, WPA2-MPSK, and Enhanced Open. These encryption options are suitable for enterprise networks due to their strong cipher suites and advanced security algorithms.

Aruba 630 Series Specifications

The indoor APs boast tri-radio, concurrent support for the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands. Each radio supports two spatial stream SU MIMO with maximum wireless data rates of 574 Mbps, 1.2 Gbps, and 2.4 Gbps, respectively, for 802.11ax client devices. Each radio can support up to 512 devices and as many as 16 BSSIDs.

The accessible bands and channels are dependent on country-specific regulatory requirements. Supported radio technologies include OFDM, OFDMA, and direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS). Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) reduces cellular network interference, while Advanced IoT Coexistence (AIC) enables the concurrent performance of several radios within the 2.4 GHz band.

The APs also have integrated omnidirectional antennas that are suitable for horizontal ceiling mounting. Other physical features include two wired RJ-45 ports, a DC power interface, and a USB 2.0 host with a Type A connector. They also support Bluetooth Low Energy technology, Zigbee radio, and automatic shutdown and recovery.

Although the 6E APs support DC and PoE power consumption, DC takes precedence whenever both are available. Each gadget also has a pre-installed mounting bracket on the back to attach it to the separately sold mount kits.

{{cta('d6ae9a6f-c0ec-4f04-aeed-3905bdb47bfa','justifyleft')}}Aruba’s 630 series complies with various federal and international certifications and regulatory requirements. They include FCC/ISED, CE marking, RED, and IEC/EN. They’re also certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, Bluetooth SIG, Ethernet Alliance, and Zigbee Alliance. The APs run on the proprietary ArubaOS and Aruba InstantOS. All 630 series access points enjoy generous warranty terms.

Benefits of the Aruba 60 Series Wi-Fi 6E APs

The tri-band nature of these APs means you can utilize both 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands without suffering interference. The advanced filtering option helps your network switch seamlessly between available channels in the two bands. The 630 series APs automatically update to conform with potential changes to 6E regulations and certifications.

Other benefits of these APS are:

1. Support for the Latest Wi-Fi Standards

Aruba's 630 series 6E APs conform with the 802.11ax standard, which improves throughput significantly in dense environments. It also reduces latency by up to 75% over alternatives such as 802.11ac. In addition, this standard increases security and efficiency across all three supported bands.

Other features such as OFDMA and multi-user MIMO also extend network efficiency. They enable your network to simultaneously handle several users on each channel regardless of the type of traffic or device.

2. IoT Integration

The 630 series makes it easy to deploy and manage IoT sensors, location services, security solutions, and asset tracking. The APs can also extend IoT connectivity to more appliances via USB port extensions. These features help you save time and costs by eliminating the need for separate IoT-capable resources.

3. Convenient and Secure Access

Aruba's Wi-Fi 6E APs simplify network management without compromising on security. They allow you to perform central configuration and automatically define access privileges for users. The network will accurately implement role-based policies for guests, contractors, employees, and other user groups regardless of whether they access WLANs or wired connections.

4. Seamless Cellular Connectivity

Aruba’s Air Pass provides a reliable cellular roaming service that guarantees a consistent experience for mobile users moving across campus. It saves costs by eliminating the need for distributed antenna systems (DAS). Aruba Central is a solution that utilizes pre-negotiated agreements with mobile network operators to provide a unified mobile and enterprise network experience.

5. Management and Operational Flexibility

Other than being standalone access points, the unified 6E APs can also operate with gateways. This flexibility enhances scalability, security, and management options. They don't require advanced technical know-how to implement in remote areas and office branches.

You can manage the 630 series APs through on-premise or cloud-based solutions. Aruba Central provides a unified point for overseeing all aspects of wired and wireless connections, including VPNs.

How the 630 Series APs Optimize Wi-Fi

Aruba has a patented technology known as ClientMatch, which connects clients to the AP with the most suitable radio signal. It directs traffic from the busier 2.4 GHz band to the more preferable 5 GHz and 6 GHz depending on device capabilities.

The company also utilizes Aruba AirMatch to improve stability and user experience. This technology uses machine learning to achieve network optimization. It also allows dynamic bandwidth accommodation to support various other features. They include fluctuating device density, real-time channel allocation, and enhanced roaming. 

Other innovations that ensure Aruba's 630 series APs provide high-quality Wi-Fi optimization are:

Air Slice

This feature allows your organization to offer network users application assurance that exceeds traditional expectations of airtime fairness. After configuring the relevant service-level agreements (SLAs), Air Slice oversees network usage in various ways. Examples are automatic allocation and adjustment of radio resources to manage new users and application sessions.

Advanced Cellular Coexistence

This technology is unique to Aruba APs. It automatically reduces various types of obstruction using inbuilt filtering. They include small cell, DAS, and cellular network interference.

Intelligent Power Monitoring 

Aruba 630 series APs constantly observe hardware energy consumption rates. You can also configure them to allow or decline particular functionalities depending on accessible PoE power. You can update these power requirements later on after understanding your actual needs.
