Ideal for multi-user branch offices and home-teleworker power users, the single-radio 802.11n RAP-5WN Remote Access Point offers wired and wireless network access.

In addition to identity-based access control and policy-based forwarding, the RAP-5WN provides air monitoring and wireless intrusion protection across the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands.

It also features one 10/100/1000BASE-T port, four 10/100BASE-T ports that can each be configured with a unique set of policies, and a USB port for backup WAN connectivity across 3G networks.

The RAP-5WN works in conjunction with Aruba Mobility Controllers to deliver high-speed, secure network services to remote locations. Operating over any available WAN or LAN transport connection, it can be deployed, monitored, and controlled without IT assistance.
