Purpose-built for the harshest outdoor environments

This reliable and predictable access point extends gigabit Wi-Fi to outdoor enterprise environments.

Bringing Wi-Fi 5 to outdoor and harsh environments

Purpose-built for the harshest outdoor environments, 270 Series APs can withstand extreme temperatures, persistent moisture, and precipitation, and are fully sealed to keep out airborne contaminants.

Wi-Fi client optimization

ClientMatch eliminates sticky client behavior and ensures consistency by gathering session performance metrics that steer mobile devices to the best access point and radio on the WLAN.

Read the ClientMatch Tech Brief

Simple to buy, simple to deploy

The 270 Series APs are as simple to install as an outdoor video camera and feature integrated antenna options for easy deployment.

See installation guide

Flexible management options

Available management solutions include Aruba Central (available in cloud-managed and on-premises options), as well as Aruba AirWave, which supports multi-vendor networks. Access points can be deployed with zero-touch provisioning to reduce deployment time, centralize configuration, and simplify inventory management.

Fast and reliable under any weather conditions

The 270 Series APs support ClientMatch, Aruba Beacon Solution, Advance Cellular Coexistence (ACC), and AppRF. Additionally, all electrical interfaces include industrial-strength surge protection.

Purpose-built for challenging outdoor environments

The 270 Series APs can withstand temperatures of -40°C to +65°C (-40°F to +149°F), humidity levels of 5% to 95% non-condensing, and an operating altitude of 3,000m.

Dual radio operations

With a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps in the 5GHZ band and 600 Mbps in the 2.4GHZ band, 270 Series outdoor access points support concurrent dual-radio operation.

Dynamic Segmentation

Automatically enforces real-time, device-level access policies on Aruba wired and wireless networks for improved network security and simplicity.

Spectrum analysis

The 270 Series APs are capable of part-time or dedicated spectrum analysis, which scans the 2.4GHZ and 5GHz radio bands to identify sources of RF interference.

Powered with beamforming

Able to extend the performance benefits of beamforming to outdoor environments, where maximizing the range of Wi-Fi is most critical.
