Key Features:
More capacity
The HPE Aruba Networking 760 Series Outdoor Access Points are designed to take advantage of every bit of available spectrum using three dedicated radios, which translates into high speeds, wider channels for multigigabit traffic, and less interference. Supports up to 160 MHz wide channels, the series delivers up to 4.3 Gbps maximum 5 GHz + 6 GHz aggregate data rate, using dual 2x2 MIMO radios (5 GHz and 6 GHz 2x2), or up to 5.76 Gbps (in 6 GHz only 4x4).
Ruggedized and outdoor ready
The versatile HPE Aruba Networking 760 Series Outdoor Access Points are purpose‑built to deliver high performance Wi‑Fi 7 across a range of environmental conditions: indoors, outdoors, and hazardous environments. Models are ready to withstand exposure to extremely high and low temperatures, with SP models have protection from persistent moisture and precipitation. The HPE Aruba Networking 760 Series Outdoor Access Points are fully IP 66/ IP 67 rated to keep out airborne Table 1. Channel bandwidth and peak data rate Band contaminants. All electrical interfaces include industrial‑strength surge protection as well. Ideal environments include:
- Industrial and outdoor environments
- Large public venues
- Hazardous environments
Wi-Fi 7 for faster speeds, more capacity
The Wi‑Fi 7 standard (802.11be) extends the capabilities of Wi‑Fi 6E, including the use of the 6 GHz band. New capabilities include multi‑link operation (MLO) for channel aggregation across different bands and failover, 4096 QAM (4K QAM) modulation for higher peak data rates, and spectrum puncturing to avoid interference or incumbent users of the 6 GHz band.
Flexible operation and simplified deployment
HPE Aruba Networking's unified access points can operate as stand‑alone access points or with a gateway for greater scalability, security, and manageability. HPE Aruba Networking access points can be managed by AIpowered HPE Aruba Networking Central that provides a single pane of glass for overseeing every aspect of wired and wireless LANs, WANs, and SD‑WAN. AI‑powered analytics, end‑to‑end orchestration and automation, and advanced security features are built natively into the solution.
HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System
Cloud‑native HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System (OS‑10) is the distributed network operating system working with HPE Aruba Networking Central that acts as the control layer for HPE Aruba Networking access points and gateways. With its flexible architecture, IT can deliver reliable and secure wireless connectivity for small offices, midsized branches, large campus environments, and remote workers.
Access points as flexible and secure IoT platform
By combining the IoT radio with a zero trust network framework, the HPE Aruba Networking 760 Series Outdoor Access Points can serve as flexible IoT platforms that bolster network security, provide coverage for a broad range of IoT devices, and reduce the need for network overlays just for IoT devices.
The HPE Aruba Networking 760 Series Outdoor Access Points includes an integrated Bluetooth 5.4 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 host port to provide IoT connectivity to a wider range of devices.
These IoT capabilities allow organizations to leverage the access point as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources and can accelerate IoT initiatives.
In addition, Target Wake Time (TWT) establishes a schedule for when clients need to communicate with an access point. This helps improve client power savings and reduces airtime contention with other clients, which is ideal for IoT.
Simple and secure access
To improve security and ease of management, IT can centrally configure and automatically enforce role‑based policies that define 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 traffic secure and separated.
Seamless handoffs to cellular
Built on the technical foundations of Passpoint and Wi‑Fi Calling, HPE Aruba Networking Air Pass creates a roaming network across the HPE Aruba Networking enterprise customer footprint, extending cellular coverage and enhancing the visitor and subscriber experience to deliver a great experience for your guests while reducing costs and management overhead for DAS.
Standards-based technologies
The HPE Aruba Networking 760 Series Outdoor Access Points also include the following standards‑based technologies:
- Transmit beamforming (TxBF) to increase signal reliability and range
- Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) to optimize use of available RF spectrum
- Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) for improved receiver performance
- Cyclic delay/shift diversity (CDD/CSD) to deliver greater downlink RF performance
- Space‑time block coding (STBC) to increase range and improve reception
