The Wi-Fi 6 access points provide high-performance connectivity for mobile, cloud, and IoT-demanding organizations. They have wireless data rates up to 1.5 Gbps and gigabit wired ports, so they're perfect for hotels, residence halls, and remote offices.

KEY POINTS:

• Compact form factor combines wireless and wired access
•  Ideal for work-from-home and teleworker initiatives
•  Maximum wireless throughput up to 1.5 Gbps 
•  1 Smart Rate uplink port and 2 wired network ports
•  Security with WPA3 and Enhanced Open 
•  Resolves sticky client issues on Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5  
•  Enhanced multi-user efficiency through OFDMA
•  Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee support for IoT
•  Optical fiber backhaul add-on for Aruba Fiber Media Converter

SPECIFICATION:

DEVICE EFFICIENCY:

These include orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) and cellular optimization. It provides groundbreaking wireless capabilities for budget-conscious deployments with up to two spatial streams and 80MHz channel bandwidth.

OFDMA:

• Manage multiple Wi-Fi 6 clients simultaneously on each channel, regardless of traffic type.
• Sub-carrier or resource unit (RU) used to maximize channel utilization, so that clients share bandwidth and airtime.

Client Optimization:

•  AI-powered ClientMatch identifies the best-available AP for Wi-Fi 6 capable devices, eliminating sticky client issues. 
• Even as users roam- session metrics steer mobile devices to the best AP based on available bandwidth, application types, and traffic types.

Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC):

Built-in filtering system automatically minimize the interference from cellular networks, DASs, and small cells or femtocell equipment.

IoT CAPABILITIES:

• Provides GPS, asset tracking, security and IoT sensor syncing via Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 (for Zigbee support). Organizations can use this series as an IoT platform without adding extra IT resources or overlay infrastructure.
• Target Wake Time (TWT): Optimizes client power consumption and reduces airtime contention for IoTs that communicate infrequently with APs.
•  Advanced IoT Coexistence (AIC): Allows Wi-Fi, BLE, and Zigbee radios to operate at maximum capacity without interference

SECURITY:

WPA3 and Enhanced Open: New version of WPA provides stronger encryption and authentication for enterprise networks. With Enhanced Open, users connecting to open networks are automatically protected against unauthorized access by encrypting their sessions and passwords.

WPA2-MPSK: Simpler passkey management - a change in one device's Wi-Fi password will not require changes in other devices. 

NOTE:  To enable this feature ClearPass Policy Manager required. 

VPN Tunnels: RAPs and IAP-VPNs establish SSL/IPSec VPN tunnels to a Gateway or Mobility Controller acting as a VPN concentrator.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM): Secure storage of credentials, keys, and boot code.

CONNECTIVITY: Capable of providing connectivity for up to 256 associated clients per radio (a total of 512 clients in total). Depending on environmental conditions, the maximum recommended client density varies.

HYBRID WORK:

•  EdgeConnect Microbranch ensures a consistent employee experience regardless of location in hybrid environments.

• Through cloud-based Aruba Central and  Aruba AP, this SD-WAN solution optimizes performance, security, and manageability.

• Integrate SASE with cloud security services like Zscaler to extend existing remote access point (RAP) capabilities.

OTHER INTERFACES: 

Wifi Antenna:

• Two integrated semi-directional antennas for 2x2 MIMO with 2.5dBi gain at 2.4GHz and 5.6dBi at 5GHz. 
• Antennas built in are optimized for wall mounting or desk mounting.
• Combining each antenna pattern result in a peak gain of 1.7dBi in the 2.4GHz band and 5dBi in the 5GHz band.
