Aruba Instant™ 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, Aruba Instant can be installed at a single site or across multiple locations. Up to 16 Aruba Instant APs can be managed by a single AP designated as a Virtual Controller, and multiple Virtual Controllers can be centrally managed by the Aruba AirWave™ network management system.
The Aruba Instant product family consists of five APs – IAP-134, IAP-135, IAP-105, IAP-92 and the IAP-93.
The IAP-134 and IAP-135 maximize mobile device performance in extremely high-density Wi-Fi client environments and comes with IEEE 802.1AE MACsec security, while the IAP-105 brings affordability to high-density Wi-Fi areas. The single-radio IAP-92 and IAP-93 are designed to improved mobile device performance in low-density Wi-Fi client environments.
