Bringing 802.11ac to the masses Aruba Access Point

200 Series IAP-204

OverView

Multifunctional and affordable Aruba 200 series wireless APs maximize mobile device performance in medium density Wi-Fi environments.

These compact and cost-effective dual-radio APs deliver wireless data rates of up to 867 Mbps to 5-GHz devices with 802.11ac technology leveraging two spatial MIMO streams while simultaneously supporting 2.4-GHz 802.11n clients with data rates of up to 300 Mbps.

The AP-205 and IAP-205 models feature four integrated omni-directional downtilt antennas, while the AP-204 and IAP-204 support external detachable dual-band antennas using two RP-SMA antenna connectors.  

Unique benefits

• • WI-FI CLIENT OPTIMIZATION

    To eliminate sticky client behavior while users roam, 200 series APs feature patented ClientMatch™ technology, which continuously gathers session performance metrics from mobile devices.
    If a mobile device moves away from an AP or if RF interference impedes performance, ClientMatch automatically steers the device to a better AP.

  • ADVANCED CELLULAR COEXISTENCE (ACC)

    ACC lets WLANs perform at peak efficiency by minimizing interference from 3G/4G LTE networks, distributed antenna systems and commercial small cell/femtocell equipment.

  • QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR UNIFIED COMMUNICATION

    The 200 series APs support priority handling and policy enforcement for unified communication apps, including Microsoft Lync with encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop sharing.

Specifications

• AP-205 and IAP-205
  • ­2.4-GHz (300 Mbps max rate) and 5-GHz (867 Mbps max rate) radios, each with 2×2 MIMO and four integrated omni-directional downtilt antennas.
• AP-204 and IAP-204
• ­2.4-GHz (300 Mbps max rate) and 5-GHz (867 Mbps max rate) radios, each with 2×2 MIMO and two combined, diplexed external RP-SMA antenna connectors.

Power

• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption: 12.5 watts (PoE) or 11.7 watts (DC)
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode: 8.4 watts (PoE) or 7.7 watts (DC)
• Direct DC source: 12 Vdc nominal, +/- 5%
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): 48 Vdc (nominal) 802.3af-compliant source
• Power sources sold separately
• When both power sources are available, DC power takes priority

Atennas

• AP-204/IAP-204: Two RP-SMA connectors for external dual band antennas. Internal loss between radio interface and external antenna connectors (due to diplexing circuitry): 1.5 dB in 2.4 GHz and 3.0 dB in 5 GHz.
• AP-205/IAP-205: Four integrated down-tilt omni-directional antennas for 2×2 MIMO with maximum antenna gain of 4.0 dBi in 2.4 GHz and 6.0 dBi in 5 GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP.
