Highlights
• Link up to 15 Ethernet devices or an RS232 serial device to a wireless network at Gigabit speeds
Product overview
The Aruba 501 Wireless Client Bridge enables you to easily integrate devices with no native wireless support into a wireless LAN
(WLAN). It provides strong enterprise
from intrusions.
The 501 Wireless Client Bridge can bridge up to 15 Ethernet client devices
extending wireless network access to a wide range of protocols. An integrated serial to TCP/IP converter enables a RS
asynchronous terminal device to communicate with a compatible station on the netwo
provides higher performance when using WPA2/AES security.
This bridge provides the benefits of wireless mobility for devices like electronic cash registers, scales, servers, printers,
equipment and other devices.
saving the time and expense of
installing Ethernet cables for wired network access.
The 501 Wireless Client Bridge integrates into the Aruba Mobile First solution architecture and is in
802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless network infrastructure in a multi-vendor environment.
