Data Sheet

DATA SHEET
Rugged indoor Aruba 228 wireless APs deliver
gigabit Wi-Fi performance to 802.11ac mobile
devices in harsh indoor environments such as
warehouses and stadiums
With a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps in the 5-GHz band
and 600 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band, 220 series APs are
three-times faster than 802.11n APs and provide
performance similar to a wired connection.
The 228 APs include ClientMatch™ technology, which
eliminates sticky clients by continuously gathering session
performance metrics from mobile devices. This information
is then used to steer each mobile device to the best AP and
radio on the WLAN.
Proactive and deterministic, ClientMatch dynamically
optimizes Wi-Fi client performance as users roam and RF
conditions change. If a mobile device moves out of range of
an AP or RF interference impedes performance, ClientMatch
automatically steers it to a better AP.
With ClientMatch, 228 APs load web pages faster, deliver video
streams with improved quality and support high densities of
mobile devices. An 802.11ac network without ClientMatch
performs no different than an 802.11n WLAN.
The 228 APs additionally support priority handling and policy
enforcement for individual Microsoft Lync media on the
same device, including encrypted videoconferencing, voice,
chat and desktop sharing.
