The Aruba AP-124 and AP-125 Access Points — and AP-124ABG and AP-125ABG Access Points that are upgradeable to 802.11n (Draft2.0) via software download - are 3x3 Multiple-In Multiple-Out (MIMO), dual-radio (concurrent 802.11a/n + b/g/n) operation capable of delivering combined wireless data rates of up to 600Mbps. The access points operate in 3x3 MIMO mode using existing 802.3af PoE infrastructure over a single Ethernet cable.

All four access points support legacy 802.11a/b/g clients. The AP-124ABG and AP-125ABG can be upgraded from 802.11a/b/g to 802.11n (Draft2.0) operation via software download.

Based on 2nd generation RF chips and high performance MIPS CPUs with hardware accelerated cryptographic processing, these access points can be used for wireless access, intrusion detection monitoring, traffic analysis, secure enterprise mesh, or remote access point applications across the 2.4-2.5GHz and 5GHz RF spectrums.

The mode of operation is determined by network-downloadable software, a feature that allows the access points to be re-purposed and updated without the expense of physically accessing the device.
