Single User (SU) MIMO for up to 400Mbps wireless data rate to individual 2x2 VHT40 client
- The Aruba 207 Series APs can be configured to provide part-time or dedicated air monitoring for wireless
intrusion protection, VPN tunnels to extend remote locations to corporate resources, and wireless mesh
connections where Ethernet drops are not available.
• Intelligent app visibility and control
- AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection to classify and block, prioritize, or limit bandwidth for
thousands of applications in a range of categories.
• Security
- 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, URLs and IPs, providing
comprehensive protection against advanced online threats.
- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of credentials and keys

• Controller-managed mode - When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, Aruba 207 Series APs offer centralized
configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and centralized traffic
forwarding.
• Aruba Instant mode - 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
