Introduction
HP 560 802.11ac Dual Radio Access Points deliver 1.3 GbE performance, faster application processing and increased range, connecting
wireless clients to the network and bringing intelligence to the network edge.
HP 560 802.11ac Dual Radio Access Point Series bring 1.3 GbE performance, faster application processing, and increased range to
802.11 clients. Ideal for dense client environments and high bandwidth applications, the access points can be powered by Power over
Ethernet (PoE) and offer full compatibility with legacy 802.11 clients and existing HP wireless controllers.
The access points can be used in managed as well as autonomous* mode without a controller. The access points provide Radio
Frequency spectrum analysis with detection and classification of non-IEEE 802.11 interference and has the ability to automatically
avoid interference. Wireless security is comprehensive when operating with a controller; with integrated wireless IDS/IPS, support for
internal and external authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) servers; built-in stateful firewall; per-user VLAN mapping;
and authentication. Note: Autonomous mode support will be added later in 2014.
Features and benefits
Management
Wi-Fi Clear Connect
provides a system-wide approach to improving WLAN reliability by proactively determining and adjusting to changing RF
