Overview

Aruba 205H Hospitality Series Access Points

High-performance dual-radio 802.11ac access points for hospitality and branch deployments

Product overview

The multifunctional and affordable AP-205H access point (AP) combines high-performance wireless mobility with wired Gigabit Ethernet access in a surprisingly compact device

This compact and cost system to provide secure wired and wireless network access in dormitories, classrooms, hotels, medical clinics and multitenan environments.

In addition, using a unique mount kit accessory, the AP benefits for branch offices and teleworkers.

Capable of delivering high WLAN deployment costs. The AP warranty.

The 205H delivers wireless data rates of up to 867 Mbps to 5 MIMO streams while simultaneously supporting 2.4

The integrated antennas of the 205H are optimized for the deployments with the AP mounted vertically on either a wall or desk.

-effective dual-radio AP easily mounts to a standard data wall-box and uses the existing structured cabling

-performance Wi-Fi services to multiple rooms, the 205H simplifies RF coverage planning and reduces

-205H is built to provide years of trouble-free operation and is backed by Aruba’s limited lifetime

-205H can easily be converted to a desk mounted AP to provide the same

-GHz devices with 802.11ac technology leveraging two spatial

-GHz 802.11n clients with data rates of up to 400 Mbps.

Aruba 205H Hospitality Series Access Points

Overview

The antenna patterns are slightly directional, focusing RF energy to and from the area facing the front of the AP.

Three local Gigabit Ethernet ports are available to securely attach wired devices to your network. One of these ports is also capable of supplying PoE power to the attached device.

The 205H itself receives power from eithe uplink Gigabit Ethernet port.

Features and Benefits

Unique Benefits

Two devices in one

The 205H ships with everything you need to deploy it as a wall single gang data wall mounted remote AP

Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)

Aruba’s Advanced Cellular Coexistence from 3G/4G LTE networks, distributed antenna systems and commercial small cell/femtocell equipment.

To eliminate sticky client behavior while us 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 th to a better AP.

Quality of service for unified communication apps

Aruba APs support priority handling and policy enforcement for unified communication apps, including Microsoft Lync with encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop sharing

Choose your operating mode

Aruba offers a choice of AP operating modes to meet your unique management and deployment requirements:

Simplify deployment with Aruba Activate

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