ADVANCED FEATURES Client Match technology eliminates sticky clients by continuously gathering session performance metrics & utilizing this data to steer mobile devices to the best AP & radio, even as users roam & RF conditions change. Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology automatically assigns channel & power settings, provides airtime fairness, auto-corrects Wi-Fi coverage holes, & ensures that APs stay clear of RF interference. Zero-touch provisioning as well as inventory management with the cloud-based Aruba Activate service. Security With an Open DNS service subscription, Aruba Instant delivers integrated web filtering, malware & botnet protection to every device connected to the WLAN Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of credentials & keys Secure Jack-capable for secure tunneling of wired Ethernet traffic VPN configuration functionality enables the Instant AP to create a single VPN tunnel to an Aruba Mobility Controller in the data center. The Mobility Controller acts solely as a VPN end-point & does not supply the Instant AP with any configuration. Secure Jack-capable for secure tunneling of wired Ethernet traffic. OPERATING MODES Wireless Aruba Instant AP Mobility Controller-managed WLAN AP or RAP Air monitor Hybrid WLAN AP & air monitor Secure enterprise mesh Wired 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet uplink port, four 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet local ports Two local Ethernet ports are Po E capable (product option) User authentication: 802.1X, captive portal, MAC authentication or open access Policy-based forwarding for local resource access WIRELESS RADIO SPECIFICATIONS AP type: Dual radio, dual-band 802.11n indoor Software-configurable dual radio supports 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz 2x 2 MIMO with two spatial streams & up to 300 Mbps wireless data rate in 2.4 GHz 3x 3 MIMO with three spatial streams & up to 450 Mbps wireless data rate in 5 GHz Supported frequency bands (country-specific restrictions apply): 2.4000 GHz to 2.4835 GHz 5.150 to 5.250 GHz 5.250 to 5.350 GHz 5.470 to 5.725 GHz 5.725 to 5.850 GHz Available channels: Dependent on configured regulatory domain Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) optimizes the use of available RF spectrum Supported radio technologies: 802.11b: Direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) 802.11a/g/n: Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) 802.11n (2.4 GHz): OFDM, 2x 2 MIMO with two spatial streams 802.11n (5 GHz): OFDM, 3x 3 MIMO with three spatial streams Supported modulation types: 802.11b: BPSK, QPSK, CCK 802.11a/g/n: BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM Transmit power: Configurable in increments of 0.5 d Bm Maximum (conducted) transmit power (per radio transmit chain): 2.4-GHz band: +18 d Bm 5-GHz band: +18 d Bm Transmit power will be limited as needed to comply with local regulatory requirements Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) minimizes interference from cellular networks Maximum ratio combining (MRC) for enhanced receiver performance Cyclic delay/shift diversity (CDD/CSD) for enhanced downlink RF performance Short guard interval for 20-MHz & 40-MHz channels Space-time block coding (STBC) for increased range & enhanced reception Low-density parity check (LDPC) for high-efficiency error correction & increased throughput Supported data rates (Mbps): 802.11b: 1, 2, 5.5, 11 802.11a/g: 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 802.11n (2.4 GHz): 6.5 to 300 (MCS0 to MCS15) 802.11n (5 GHz): 6.5 to 450 (MCS0 to MCS23) 802.11n high-throughput (HT) support: HT 20/40 802.11n packet aggregation: A-MPDU, A-MSDU
