ARUBA AP-124 AND AP-125 ACCESS POINTS

The multifunction AP-124 and AP-125 are ultra-high-performance indoor

802.11n access points (APs) designed for maximum deployment exibility

in high-density environments that require above-ceiling or enclosure-based

installations. These high-speed APs deliver wire-like performance at data

rates up to 300 Mbps per radio.

The AP-124 features two 3x3 MIMO dual-band 2.4-GHz/5-GHz radios with

detachable antenna interfaces while the AP-125 features the same radios

with integrated antenna elements. Both are built to provide years of trouble-

free operation and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Working with Aruba’s line of centralized Mobility Controllers, the AP-124 and AP-125 deliver secure, high-speed network services

that move users to a “wireless where possible, wired where necessary” network access model. The network can then be rightsized

by eliminating unused Ethernet switch ports and thereby reducing operating costs.

802.11n enables the use of wireless as a primary connection with speed and reliability comparable to a wired LAN. It also increases

performance by utilizing techniques such as channel bonding, block acknowledgement and MIMO radios. Advanced antenna

technology also increases range and reliability.

The key to ensuring wire-like performance and reliability is Aruba’s unique Adaptive Radio Management and spectrum analysis*

capabilities, which manage the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands to deliver maximum client performance while mitigating any RF

interference.

The multifunction AP-124 and AP-125 can be congured through the Mobility Controller to provide WLAN access with part-time

air monitoring, dedicated air monitoring for wireless IPS and spectrum analysis, Remote AP (RAP) functionality or secure enterprise

mesh. The AP-124 and AP-125 feature dual 100/1000BASE-T Ethernet interfaces and operate from standard 802.3af power-over-

Ethernet (PoE) sources.

APPLICATION
