ARUBA 210 SERIES
ACCESS POINTS
Aordable, high-performance 802.11ac
Multifunctional and aordable Aruba 210 series
wireless access points (APs) maximize mobile
device performance in medium-density, highperformance Wi-Fi environments.
These compact and cost-eective dual-radio APs deliver
wireless data rates of up to 1.3 Gbps to 5-GHz devices with
802.11ac technology. They also support 3x3 MIMO with three
spatial streams as well as 2.4-GHz 802.11n clients at data
rates up to 450 Mbps.
The AP-215 and IAP-215 models have three integrated omni-
directional downtilt antennas per radio, while the AP-214 and
IAP-214 support external, detachable dual-band antennas
using three RP-SMA connectors.
UNIQUE BENEFITS
• Wi-Fi client optimization
- The 210 series features patented ClientMatch
technology to eliminate sticky client behavior while
users roam. ClientMatch continuously gathers session
performance metrics from mobile devices.
- If a mobile device moves away from an AP or if RF
interference impedes performance, ClientMatch
automatically steers the device to a better AP.
• Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
- ACC lets WLANs to perform at peak eciency by
minimizing interference from 3G/4G LTE networks,
distributed antenna systems and commercial small
cell/femtocell equipment.
• Quality of service for unied communication apps
- The 210 series supports priority handling and policy
enforcement for unied communication apps, including
Microsoft Lync with encrypted videoconferencing, voice,
chat and desktop sharing.
CHOOSE YOUR OPERATING MODE
The 210 series supports your choice of operating modes to
meet unique management and deployment requirements.
• Controller-managed AP or Remote AP (RAP) running
ArubaOS. When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers,
210 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 AP running InstantOS. In Aruba Instant
mode, a single AP automatically distributes the network
conguration to other Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply
power-up on Instant AP, congure it over the air, and plug in
the other APs – the entire process takes about ve minutes.
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.

ADVANCED FEATURES
• RF management
- Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology
automatically assigns channel and power settings,
provides airtime fairness and ensures that APs stay
clear of all sources of RF interference to deliver reliable,
high-performance WLANs.
- 210 series APs can be congured to provide part-time or
dedicated air monitoring for spectrum analysis and wireless
intrusion protection, VPN tunnels to extend corporate
resources to remote locations, and wireless mesh
connections where Ethernet drops are not available.
• Spectrum analysis
- Capable of part-time or dedicated air monitoring, the
spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4-GHz and
5-GHz radio bands to identify sources of RF interference
• Security
- Integrated wireless intrusion protection oers thread
protection and mitigation, and eliminates the need for
separate RF sensors and security appliances.
- IP reputation and security services identify, classify, and
block malicious les, URL and IPs, providing comprehensive
protection against advanced online threats.
- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure
storage of credentials and keys.
- SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired
Ethernet trac.
