SPECIFICATION:        

 

KEY FEATURES:

•  Compact design that combines wireless and wired access.
•  Suitable for home-based and teleworking initiatives.
•  Up to 1.5 Gbps maximum wireless throughput can be achieved. 
•  4 wired network ports and 1 Smart Rate uplink port.
•  Secure network with WPA3 and enhanced open.
•  Resolves sticky client issues on both Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5.  
•  Multi-user efficiency enhanced through OFDMA.
•  IoT support for Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee.
•  Fiber backhaul add-on for Aruba Fiber Media Converter.

DEVICE COMPATIBILITY:

OFDMA:

•  Ability to handle multiple Wi-Fi 6 clients simultaneously regardless of the type of traffic on each channel.
• A subcarrier or resource unit (RU)  optimizes channel utilization so clients share bandwidth and airtime.

Client Optimization:

• Identifying the best Wi-Fi 6 compatible AP based on AI, ClientMatch eliminates sticky clients.
• In roaming, session metrics guide mobile devices to the best AP based on bandwidth, traffic types, and application types.

Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC):

An integrated filtering system automatically minimizes interference from cellular networks, DASs, and small cells.

Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM):

Power consumption is continuously monitored and reported. Also configurable based on PoE power - ideal when wired switches have exhausted their power budget.

IoT PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

1. Supports GPS, asset tracking, security, and IoT sensor syncing via Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 (for Zigbee support). It can be used as an IoT platform without requiring additional IT resources.
2. Target Wake Time (TWT): Reduces airtime contention for IoTs that communicate infrequently with APs and optimizes client power consumption.
3. Advanced IoT Coexistence (AIC): Enhances Ability to operate Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee radios at maximum capacity without interfering with each other.

SECURITY:

WPA3: Latest version of WPA offers better encryption and authentication for enterprise networks. 

Enhanced Open: Automatically encrypts passwords and sessions in order to secure them against unauthorized access.

WPA2-MPSK: Passkey management is simpler - changing the Wi-Fi password on one device does not require changing it on others. 

  NOTE: ClearPass Policy Manager is required to use this feature. 

VPN Tunnels: RAPs and IAP-VPNs establish SSL/IPSec VPN tunnels with Gateways and Mobility Controllers serving as VPN concentrators.

TPM (Trusted Platform Module): Application that provides secure storage for credentials, keys, and boot codes.

CONNECTIVITY: Supports up to 256 associated clients per radio (a total of 512 clients). Depending on the environment, maximum client density varies.

HYBRID WORK:

• EdgeConnect Microbranch provides a consistent employee experience regardless of location.

• SD-WAN optimization, security, and manageability are enhanced through Aruba Central and  Aruba AP itself.

• Extend remote access point capabilities by integrating SASE with cloud security services such as Zscaler.

OTHER INTERFACES:

Wifi Antenna:

• 2x2 MIMO integrated semi-directional antennas with 5.2dBi peak single antenna gain at 2.4GHz and 5.4dBi at 5GHz.
• Built-in antennas are designed to be mounted on a wall or desk. 
• A combined, average pattern of the antenna patterns in MIMO radios has a peak gain of 3.3dBi in 2.4GHz and 2.9dBi in 5GHz.

Antenna patterns averaged for all antennas along the vertical plane 0 (looking at the side of the AP, facing right)

POWER SOURCE

• Supports both POE and direct DC power.
• When both are available, POE power gets priority.
• Work without restrictions when powered by DC or 802.3bt (class 6) POE
•  USB port disabled (only) when powered by 802.3at (class 4) POE and with IPM disabled, and support (802.3af) POE-PSE power on E1 only (no PSE on E2).
• USB port and POE-PSE capabilities are disabled when powered by 802.3af (class 3) POE with IPM disabled.
• With IPM enabled, it starts without restrictions but dynamically applies additional restrictions based on POE budget and actual power consumption.
