• 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.
• Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
• Quality of service for unified communication apps
- If a mobile device moves away from an AP or if RF interference impedes performance, ClientMatch automatically
steers the device to a better AP.
- ACC lets WLANs to perform at peak efficiency by minimizing interference from 3G/4G LTE networks, distributed
antenna systems and commercial small cell/femtocell equipment.
- The 210 series supports priority handling and policy enforcement for unified communication apps, including
Microsoft Lync with encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop sharing.

Operating Modes
•
• Controller-managed AP or Remote AP (RAP) running ArubaOS.
When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, 210 series APs offer centralized configuration, data encryption, policy
enforcement and network services as well as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding. Please refer to the
Mobility Controller data sheets for more details.
• Aruba Instant AP running InstantOS.
In Aruba Instant mode, a single AP automatically distributes the network configuration to other Instant APs in the WLAN.
Simply power-up on Instant AP, configure it over the air, and plug in the other APs – the entire process takes about five
minutes.

210 Series Specifications
• AP-215 and IAP-215
- 2.4-GHz (450 Mbps max rate) and 5-GHz (1.3 Gbps max rate) radios, each with 3x3 MIMO and three integrated
omni-directional downtilt antennas..
• AP-214 and IAP-214
- 2.4-GHz (450 Mbps max rate) and 5-GHz (1.3 Gbps max rate) radios, each with 3x3 MIMO and three combined,
diplexed (dual-band) external RP-SMA antenna connectors.
• 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, highperformance WLANs.
- 210 series APs can be configured 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 offers 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 files, 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 traffic
• Aruba Instant AP
• Mobility Controller-managed AP
• Remote AP (RAP) for branch deployments
• Air monitor (AM) for wireless IDS, rogue detection and containment
