Optimize client performance in high-density
Wi-Fi environments
Multifunctional and aordable 110 series
wireless access points (APs) maximize mobile
device performance in high-density Wi-Fi
environments while minimizing interference from
LTE cellular networks.
These high-performance 802.11n APs deliver wireless data
rates up to 450 Mbps per radio and employ three spatial
streams to support 50% more throughput and mobile
devices than previous-generation APs.
The AP-115 and IAP-115 APs feature a 2.4-GHz and a 5-GHz
radio, each with 3x3:3 MIMO and three integrated omni-
directional downtilt antennas. The AP-114 and IAP-114
models feature the same radios with three combined and
diplexed external antenna connectors.
ADVANCED CELLULAR COEXISTENCE (ACC)
The 110 series Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) feature
enables Aruba WLANs to perform at peak eciency
by minimizing interference from 3G/4G LTE networks,
distributed antenna systems and commercial small-cell/
femtocell equipment.
WI-FI CLIENT OPTIMIZATION
To eliminate sticky client behavior while users roam, the
110 series features patented ClientMatch technology, which
continuously gathers session performance metrics from
mobile devices.
If a mobile device moves out of range of an AP or if
RF interference impedes performance, ClientMatch
automatically steers the device to a better AP.
BEST-IN-CLASS RF MANAGEMENT
All Aruba APs include Adaptive Radio Management
technology, which is essential to creating the most reliable,
high-performance WLANs. ARM manages the 2.4-GHz and
5-GHz radio bands to optimize Wi-Fi client performance and
ensures that Aps stay clear of RF interference.
The 110 series can be congured to provide part-time or
dedicated air monitoring for spectrum analysis and wireless
intrusion protection, VPN tunnels to extend remote locations
to corporate resources, and wireless mesh connections
where Ethernet drops are not available.
CHOOSE YOUR OPERATING MODE
The 110 series of APs oers a choice of operating modes to
meet your unique management and deployment requirements.
• Controller-managed mode. When managed by Aruba
Mobility Controllers, 110 series APs oer centralized
conguration, data encryption, policy enforcement and
network services, as well as distributed and centralized
trac forwarding. Please refer to the Aruba Mobility
Controller data sheets for more details.
• Aruba Instant mode. In Aruba Instant mode, a single
AP automatically distributes the network conguration
to other Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply power-up one
Instant AP, congure it over the air, and plug in the other
APs – the entire process takes about ve minutes.

ARUBA 110 SERIES ACCESS POINTS
For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba
Activate service signicantly reduces deployment time by
automating device provisioning, rmware upgrades, and
inventory management. With Aruba Activate, Instant APs are
factory-shipped to any site and congure themselves when
powered up.
If WLAN and network requirements change, a built-in
migration path allows 110 series Instant APs to become part
of a WLAN that is centrally managed by a Mobility Controller.
