Aruba Instant IAP-205 802.11n/ac Wireless Access Point

Features:

• Top performance in medium- density environments
• 2x2 MIMO, two spatial  streams, up to 867 Mbps
• 2.4- and 5-GHz radios
• Mounts on ceiling or wall
• Wi-Fi client optimisation
• Advanced cellular coexistence (ACC)
• Quality of Service for unified communication apps

• Wi-Fi client optimisation

  To eliminate sticky client behavior while users roam, APs feature 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/fem-to-cell equipment.

• Quality of Service for unified communication apps

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

Management the way you want it.

Aruba Instant Wi-Fi – fast, reliable, and affordable.

There’s no easier way to get enterprise-grade Wi-Fi up and running. Aruba Instant delivers the only controllerless Wi-Fi solution that is easy to set-up, and loaded with security and smarts needed to accelerate your business without breaking your budget.

Accelerate your business with the mobile-first digital workplace.

The nature of work is changing. Collaborative environments, a mobile workforce, and the possibility of smarter spaces. Harness new technology – ultra-fast Wi-Fi, the Internet of Things, and mobile UC — to move your business, and the people in it, faster than ever before.

Simple, yet powerful.

Aruba Instant comes with automatic RF management that ensures the strongest Wi-Fi connection for all mobile devices. And granular visibility into mobile apps prioritises business-critical data, and keeps out the malicious content. 

Create smarter, more efficient spaces with IoT.

 BYOD changed the playing field and allowed the workplace to go mobile. Now IoT is taking things up a notch by creating smarter, more efficient work spaces — intelligent meeting rooms, location services, and real time monitoring. Aruba was there to solve your BYOD challenges and are ready for IoT. Are you?

360° of protection from the edge to the core to the cloud.

 Mobility, cloud and IoT require a different design approach to connecting and securing the enterprise network – and Aruba’s 360 Secure Fabric delivers three key security innovations: a secure, trusted network infrastructure, continuous monitoring and advanced attack detection, and analytics-driven, closed-loop policy-based attack response. . 

Rethink your workspace design to embrace a mobile-first strategy.

As you move to the digital workplace, it’s critical to get your IT infrastructure ready. To meet the challenges, Aruba offers an integrated wired and wireless portfolio, with industry-leading advances in network management, security and analytics.
