Innovative and aesthetically-designed 270 series outdoor wireless access points deliver gigabit Wi-Fi performance to 802.11ac mobile devices under any weather conditions. The 270 series is also the only outdoor AP that enables 802.11n clients to operate three-times faster at greater distances.

Purpose-built to survive in the harshest outdoor environments, 270 series APs withstand exposure to extreme high and low temperatures, persistent moisture and precipitation, and are fully sealed to keep out airborne contaminants. All electrical interfaces include industrial- strength surge protection.

With a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps in the 5-GHz band and 600 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band, 270 series outdoor APs supports concurrent dual-radio operation at speeds that greatly exceed Fast Ethernet.

WI-FI CLIENT OPTIMIZATION

To eliminate sticky client behavior and ensure consistently high performance, every Aruba AP includes ClientMatch technology, which gathers session performance metrics that steer mobile devices to the best AP and radio on the WLAN in real time.

CHOOSE YOUR OPERATING MODE

The 270 series of outdoor APs offers a choice of operatingmodes to meet your unique management and deployment AP or Remote AP (RAP) running ArubaOS. When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers,the 270 series offers centralized configuration, dataencryption, policy enforcement and network services, aswell as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding.

•Aruba Instant AP running InstantOS. In Aruba Instant mode, one AP automatically distributes the networkconfiguration to other APs. Just power-up one Instant AP, configure it over the air, and plug in the other APs – the entire process takes about five minutes.

•Secure enterprise mesh

In addition to operation mode, the APs can be optionallyconfigured to perform the following functions:

• Spectrum analysis: Dedicated scan mode identifiessources of RF interference.

• Air monitoring: Dedicated scan mode provides wirelessintrusion protection.

• Hybrid AP: Serves Wi-Fi clients and simultaneously provideswireless intrusion protection and spectrum analysis.

For large installations with multiple sites, the Aruba Activate service reduces deployment time by automating provisioning,firmware upgrades, and inventory management. With ArubaActivate, Instant APs are factory shipped to any site andconfigure themselves when powered up.

If WLAN and network requirements change, a built-in migration path allows 270 series Instant APs to become part of a WLAN that is centrally managed by a Mobility Controller.
