The AP-105 is a high-speed, affordable, and reliable 802.11n access point for indoor environments. Designed for both ceiling and wall mounting, the compact AP-105 delivers wire-like performance at data rates up to 300Mbps per radio. The AP-105 is built to deliver years of trouble-free operation and is backed by Aruba's limited lifetime warranty program.

Working in conjunction with Aruba’s line of centralized Mobility Controllers, the AP-105 delivers high-speed, secure network services that let users finally move to a "wireless where possible, wired where necessary" network access model. The network can then be rightsized, with unnecessary ports eliminated to lower operating costs. The key to rightsizing is Aruba's unique Adaptive Radio Management technology, which manages channel, power, and wireless client behavior to deliver wire-like performance and reliability. By rightsizing network infrastructure, organizations significantly enhance user mobility and efficiency while lowering total cost of ownership.

The multifunction AP-105 can be configured through the controller to provide wireless LAN access, air monitoring, remote networking, secure enterprise mesh, and wireless intrusion detection and prevention over the 2.4GHz and 5GHz RF spectrum. The AP-105 features a 100/1000Base-T Ethernet interface and operates from either standard 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) sources or a 12VDC power supply.
