The multifunction AP-104 and AP-105 are affordable indoor 802.11n access points (AP) designed for high-density deployments in offices, hospitals, schools and retail stores.
The AP-105 features two 2×2 MIMO dual-band 2.4-GHz/5-GHz radios with two internal omni-directional downtilt antennas, which make it ideal for warehouses and other high-ceiling facilities. The AP-104 features the same radios with external antenna connectors.
These compact, high-speed APs deliver wire-like performance at data rates up to 300 Mbps per radio. With ceiling- and wall-mount options, they 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-104 and AP-105 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, which reduces 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 RF signal 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 ensure maximum client performance while mitigating any RF interference.
The AP-104 and AP-105 can be configured through the Mobility Controller to provide WLAN access with part-time air monitoring, dedicated air monitoring for wireless intrusion protection and spectrum analysis, Remote AP (RAP) functionality or secure enterprise mesh.
The APs feature a 100/1000BASE-T Ethernet interface and can operate from standard 802.3af power-over-Ethernet (PoE) sources or a 12-volt DC power supply.
