ARUBA RAP-3 REMOTE
ACCESS POINT
High-performance wireless and wired
networking for branch oces and teleworkers
The multifunctional Aruba RAP-3 delivers secure
802.11n wireless and wired network access to
corporate resources from branch and home oces.
Centrally managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, the
RAP-3 extends corporate resources to remote locations by
establishing site-to-site VPN tunnels to the data center.
To eliminate client stickiness, the RAP-3 includes integrated
ClientMatch technology, which continuously gathers session
performance metrics and uses this data to every device to
the best AP and radio on the WLAN, even while users roam
and RF conditions change.
The RAP-3 also oers a variety of enterprise-class features,
including role-based network access, policy-based
forwarding, and Adaptive Radio Management (ARM), which
gives remote workers the same high-quality Wi-Fi experience
they get at corporate headquarters.
Delivering a wireless data rate of up to 300 Mbps, the RAP-3
has three 10/100BASE-T Ethernet ports and one USB port for
connecting to 3G and 4G networks. It is also available with an
802.3af power-over-Ethernet (PoE) port (RAP-3WNP model)
for IP phones or other devices.
At locations that require greater coverage, the RAP-3 can
join an Aruba Instant WL AN cluster. Simply install additional
RAP-3s or any Instant AP and the entire cluster is managed
as one. If one Instant AP fails, another AP automatically takes
over with no disruption.
For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba
Activate service signicantly reduces deployment time by
automating device provisioning, rmware upgrades, and
inventory management. With Aruba Activate, Instant APs are
factory-shipped to any site and congure themselves when
powered up.
ADVANCED FEATURES
• Zero-touch provisioning as well as automated rmware
upgrades and inventory management with the cloud-
based Aruba Activate service.
• ClientMatch technology eliminates sticky clients by
continuously gathering session performance metrics and
using this information to steer them to the best AP and radio.
• ARM technology delivers best-in-class RF management,
including automatic transmit power and channel control
with auto coverage-hole correction.
• Security:
- With an OpenDNS service subscription, Aruba Instant
RAPs delivers integrated web ltering, malware and botnet
protection to every device connected to the WLAN
- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure
storage of credentials and keys
- SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired
Ethernet trac
