Aruba Networks IAP-134 Access Point
The Aruba Instant Access Point IAP-134 virtualizes Aruba Mobility Controller capabilities on 802.11n access points (APs), creating a feature-rich enterprise-grade wireless LAN (WLAN) that combines the affordability and configuration simplicity.
Offering impressive scalability, the Aruba IAP-134 can be installed at a single site or deployed across multiple geographically-dispersed locations. Multiple Aruba Instant APs can be managed by a single AP designated as a Virtual Controller, and multiple Virtual Controller networks can be centrally managed with the Aruba AirWave™ network management system.
Aruba Networks IAP-134 Access Point Key Features
- Requires no ongoing service fees, additional license fees or management appliances.
- Easily deployed in minutes with little or no IT assistance.
- Performs PCI-compliant rogue AP detection.
- Works with ClearPass Access Management System to provide secure, self-service network access for guests and employees who connect using their own mobile devices.
- For investment protection, Aruba Instant can be re-imaged as an 802.11n campus AP and migrate to a centralized Mobility Controller architecture.
Both the IAP-134 and IAP-135 maximize mobile device performance in extremely high-density Wi-Fi client environments and provide strong threat protection with integrated IEEE 802.1AE MACsec security.
VIRTUAL CONTROLLER TECHNOLOGY
The Virtual Controller technology in Aruba Instant delivers enterprise-grade capabilities such as automatic quality of service (QoS), 802.1X authentication, role- and device-based policy enforcement, rogue containment and Adaptive Radio Management™ (ARM™), which optimizes Wi-Fi client behavior by making sure that APs stay clear of RF interference.EASE OF DEPLOYMENTAruba Instant is up and running in minutes. From a laptop, simply connect wirelessly to an SSID to perform over-the-air provisioning in minutes. To expand wireless coverage, simply install more Aruba Instant APs – configurations are automatically distributed from the Virtual Controller.
MANAGEMENT AND VISIBILITY
Multiple Aruba Instant networks can be securely and centrally managed by AirWave, allowing Aruba Instant to operate in hundreds of distributed locations. With AirWave, IT has real-time visibility into users, mobile devices, and the wired and wireless infrastructure from a single management console.The multifunction Aruba Instant can be configured to provide WLAN access with part-time air monitoring, dedicated air monitoring for wireless IPS and spectrum analysis or secure enterprise mesh functionality.
INVESTMENT PROTECTION
As application and WLAN requirements change over time, Aruba Instant can migrate to a centralized Mobility Controller architecture that supports up to 2,048 APs.
