Low-Cost 802.11n Wi-Fi Access100 Series Aruba IAP-115

OverView

High-performance 802.11n access points provide maximum wireless LAN coverage while minimizing RF interference from LTE cellular networks.

These high-performance 802.11n APs deliver wireless data rates up to 450 Mbps per radio and employ three spatial streams to support 50% more throughput and mobile devices than previous-generation APs.

The AP-115 and IAP-115 APs feature a 2.4-GHz and a 5-GHz radio, each with 3×3:3 MIMO and three integrated omni-directional downtilt antennas. The AP-114 and IAP-114 models feature the same radios with three combined and diplexed external antenna connectors.

Benifits

Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)

The 110 series Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) feature enables Aruba WLANs to perform at peak efficiency by minimizing interference from 3G/4G LTE networks, distributed antenna systems and commercial small-cell/femtocell equipment.

Wi-Fi client optimization

To eliminate sticky client behavior while users roam, the 110 series features patented ClientMatch™ technology, which continuously gathers session performance metrics from mobile devices.

If a mobile device moves out of range of an AP or if RF interference impedes performance, ClientMatch automatically steers the device to a better AP.

Quality of service for Lync

The 110 series APs additionally support priority handling and policy enforcement for individual Microsoft Lync media on the same device, including encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop sharing.

Best-in-class RF management

The 110 series can be configured to provide part-time or dedicated air monitoring for spectrum analysis and wireless intrusion protection, VPN tunnels to extend remote locations to corporate resources, and wireless mesh connections where Ethernet drops are not available.
