Description
For the highestperformance Wi-Fi

environments, the 220
series accommodates
802.11n and 802.11ac
clients, supports the
highest densities of
devices and maximizes
Wi-Fi coverage.
High-performance
802.11n wireless
coverage for high
densities of devices
and MACSec security
to ensure strong threat
protection on the wired
Ethernet uplink.
High-performance
802.11n access points
that provide maximum
wireless LAN coverage
while minimizing RF
interference from LTE
cellular networks.
Low-cost 802.11n Wi-Fi

access points for devices
in the 2.4-GHz and
5-GHz bands.
Indoor single-radio
802.11n dual-band AP for
dormitories, classrooms,
hotels, medical clinics
and multitenant
environments.
Entry-level indoor
802.11n APs for lowdensity deployments in
offices, hospitals, schools
and retail stores.
Ideal for harsh outdoor

environments, 802.11ac
APs withstand
extreme high and
low temperatures,
persistent moisture and
precipitation, and are
fully sealed to keep out
airborne contaminants.
802.11n AP for outdoor

areas, storage yards,
warehouses, container
and transportation
facilities, industrial
production areas and
other harsh environments.
Secure 802.11n wireless

and wired networking
for SMBs and access
to corporate resources
from branch offices.
It is is ideal for ultrahigh-density Wi-Fi
environments that
require fast encrypted
throughput.
Secure 802.11n wireless

and wired networking
to SMBs and access to
corporate resources from
branch and home offices.
Secure wired and

802.11n wireless network
access for branch offices
and teleworker offices.

Wi-Fi client performance optimization
Aruba ClientMatch technology eliminates sticky clients by continuously gathering session performance metrics from mobile devices and using this information to intelligently steer each one to the best AP and radio on the WLAN. Proactive and deterministic, ClientMatch dynamically optimizes Wi-Fi client
performance, even while users roam and RF conditions change. If a mobile device moves out of range of an AP or RF interference impedes performance, ClientMatch automatically steers it to a better AP.
Best-in-class RF management
Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) provides dynamic, application-aware channel management to maximize network capacity and ensure fairness in bandwidth availability per user. Capabilities include adaptive power and channel assignments, coordinated access to a single channel, band steering, channel load
balancing, airtime fairness, airtime performance protection and coverage hole detection. In addition, spectrum analysis remotely scans the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands to identify sources of RF interference. This provides visibility into non-802.11 RF interference sources and their effect on 802.11
channel quality.
