DATA SHEET

The multifunctional Aruba 203R Remote AP

delivers secure and fast 802.11ac wireless and

wired network access to corporate resources for

branch and home oces.

Unique in the industry, the compact Aruba 203R remote AP

is software congurable to operate in either 1x1 dual radio

mode, or 2x2 single radio mode. It supports up to 867Mbps

in the 5GHz band or up to 400Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band

when operating in single radio 2x2 mode. In dual radio 1x1

mode, the maximum data rates for the 203R AP are 433Mbps

in the 5GHz band and 200Mbps in the 2.4GHz band.

The 203R AP oers a variety of enterprise-class features,

including role-based network access, policy-based

forwarding, and Adaptive Radio Management (ARM), which

gives remote workers the same high-quality Wi-Fi experience

they get at corporate headquarters. When additional capacity

is desired, this low-cost 203R AP can be quickly added to an

existing Aruba WLAN to improve network performance.

Managed by the Aruba Mobility Controller, the 203R AP

supports centralized conguration, data encryption, policy

enforcement and network services. It extends corporate

resources to remote locations by establishing site-to-site VPN

tunnels to the data center.

With an integrated Aruba Beacon, the 203R AP simplies the

remote management of a large scale network of battery-

powered BLE Aruba Beacons and provides advanced

location and indoor waynding, and proximity-based push

notication capabilities.

For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba

Activate service signicantly reduces deployment time by

automating device provisioning, rmware upgrades, and

inventory management. With Aruba Activate, APs

can congure themselves when powered up, slashing the

cost and time to deploy wireless in remote branches and

home oces.

UNIQUE BENEFITS

Deploy with or without controller

• The 203R can be deployed in either controller-based

(ArubaOS) or controllerless (InstantOS) deployment mode.

New 802.11ac exible radio architecture

• The 203R AP is software congurable to operate in either

1x1 dual radio mode, or 2x2 single radio mode.

• Supports up to 867Mbps in the 5GHz band (with

2SS/VHT80 clients) or up to 400Mbps in the 2.4 GHz

band (with 2SS/VHT40 clients). In 1x1 dual radio mode,

these max speeds are up to 433Mbps (5GHz) and

200Mbps (2.4GHz).

Built-in Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) radio

• Delivers location-based services for BLE-enabled

mobile devices.

• Enables management of your deployment of battery-

powered Aruba Beacons.

Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)

• Minimizes the impact from out-of-band interference from

sources such as 3G/4G cellular networks.
