Aruba AP-387 IEEE 802.11ad 3.37 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point
- 5 GHz, 60 GHz
- MIMO Technology
- 1 x Network (RJ-45) Weatherproof & temperature hardened, the Aruba 387 APs deliver greater than one Gigabit per second aggregate throughput. It supports distances up to 400 meters (1/4 miles) & provides resilient operation in inclement weather. &, ease of deployment dramatically simplifies the skills needed to deploy point to point connections. The 60 G Hz radios include the ability to auto-adjust the radios between two APs that are only crudely aligned. These new APs are fully integrated into the Aruba portfolio & supported with on premise & cloud-based management. In today's mobile era users are expecting to be connected everywhere & at any time. With the ever-growing number of Io T devices, there will be even more demand to provide reliable connectivity between two buildings or structures. Legacy point-to-point solutions can be expensive, & are vulnerable to weather conditions. They can also require highly skilled workers for installation & more importantly to ensure proper alignment of the APs. Use cases range from connecting remote buildings to providing high bandwidth to a temporary event site. Point-to-point solutions offer an attractive option for linking two sites where a right of way is difficult to obtain, to provide a backup for existing fiber connections, or as a recovery link in the event of a line cut or crushed or flooded conduit. The AP-387 is a dual radio solution that
Includes:: separate 5 & 60 G Hz radios for high performance point to point requirements, even in extreme outdoor weather use cases. A maximum concurrent data rate of 2.5 Gbps in the 60 G Hz band & 867 Mbps in the 5 G Hz band (for an aggregate peak on air data rate of 3.37 Gbps) is supported. Cost effective & simple to deploy The AP-387 dramatically simplifies deployment compared to other point-to-point solutions. 802.11ad has provisions to autonomously form links. The APs only require a coarse alignment of the radios & then the link is intelligently adjusted for optimal performance by both ends. This also means that even if heavy winds were to move the APs, the link would intelligently self-adjust without the need to send skilled resources to realign the APs. The full scan range of the 60 G Hz radio is +/- 45 degrees in Azimuth & +/- 17 degrees in elevation. The 5 G Hz radio uses a fixed sector to cover the same range. High reliability with intelligent fallback One of the unique offerings of the AP-387 is it provides a 5 G Hz 802.11ac radio along with a high performance 60 G Hz 802.11ad radio. The 5 G Hz radio is bonded with the 802.11ad radio to provide: 1. A throughput boost in good conditions 2. & an intelligent fallback for the 60 G Hz if impacted by heavy rainfall. Purpose built for outdoor deployments Purpose-built to survive in the harshest outdoor environments, the AP-387 can withstand exposure to extreme temperatures changes & persistent moisture & precipitation. They are fully sealed to keep out airborne contaminants. All electrical interfaces include industrial strength surge protection. The AP-387 also
Includes:: an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface for location services. in addition, the BLE interface can now be used for console access to manage the Wi-Fi device itself. UNIQUE BENEFITS Location Services Built-in Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) radio Enables location-based services for mobile engagement & asset tracking in outdoor environments. Bluetooth console can be used for wireless management of the AP without the need of a console cable.
