KEY FEATURES
Fast 802.11ax, 2X2:2
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6™ (Wi-Fi 6)
MU-MIMO performance
Smart Mesh Wi-Fi support
Built-in Wi-Fi router/gateway
functionality
Integrated Bluetooth
Easy-to-use web and mobile app for
setup and management
Allows access points (APs) to handle multiple Wi-Fi
6-capable clients on each channel simultaneously—
regardless of device or trac type. This improves
eciency by boosting overall capacity, while reducing
latency.
TARGET WAKE TIME (TWT)
Ideal for IoTs that communicate infrequently, TWT
establishes a schedule for when clients need to
communicate with an AP. This helps reduce power
consumption, extending the battery life of clients.
Allows the network to assign a “color” tag to a channel
and reduce the threshold for interference. Network
performance is improved because APs on the same
channel can be closer together and still transmit at
the same time—as long as they are dierent colors.
ARUBA ADVANCED CELLULAR COEXISTENCE
(ACC)
Uses built-in ltering to automatically minimize
the impact of interference from cellular networks,
distributed antenna systems (DAS), and commercial
small-cell or femtocell equipment.
LOW DENSITY PARITY CHECK (LDPC)
Delivers high-eciency error correction for increased
throughput.
1024-QUADRATURE AMPLITUDE MODULATION
(1024-QAM)
Enables a 25% data increase over 256 QAM,
improving throughput in your access points and
devices.
TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE (TPM)
All Aruba Instant On access points have an installed
TPM for secure storage of credentials, keys, and boot
codes.
TRANSMIT BEAMFORMING (TXBF)
Delivers increased signal reliability and range.
