Delivers 1.9 Gbps aggregate throughput.
- EtherChannel link aggregation on two Gigabit Ethernet ports provides 1.9 Gbps throughput.
• 600 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band.
• Best-in-class RF management
• Spectrum analysis
• Wireless mesh
• Security
- Supports up to 600 Mbps for TurboQAM-enabled mobile devices operating in the 2.4-GHz band – an industry
first.
- Integrated Adaptive Radio Management technology manages the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands and ensures
that APs stay clear of RF interference.
- 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.
- Wireless mesh connections are convenient where Ethernet drops are not available.
- Integrated wireless intrusion protection offers threat 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
- Encrypted IPsec VPN tunnels securely connect remote users to corporate network resources.
- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of credentials and keys.
- SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired Ethernet traffic.
our unique management and deployment requirements.
• Controller-managed AP or Remote AP (RAP) running ArubaOS. When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, 220 series
APs offer centralized configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and
centralized traffic forwarding.
• 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 one Instant AP, configure it over the air, and plug in the
other APs – the entire process takes about five minutes.
• Spectrum analysis identifies sources of RF interference
• Air monitor provides wireless intrusion protection
• Hybrid AP serves Wi-Fi clients and provides wireless intrusion protection and spectrum analysis
• Secure enterprise mesh
With Aruba Activate, Instant APs are factory- shipped to any site and
