The Aruba AP-70 is a dual-radio (dual-band concurrent 802.11a plus b/g) high performance indoor wireless access point capable of supporting a wide range of functions including WLAN access, air monitoring/wireless intrusion detection and prevention, and secure enterprise mesh across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz RF spectrums.

The AP-70 access point supports diverse deployment options, delivering secure mobility network services and applications in enterprise and campus environments, branch offices, retail spaces, and to remote locations over public or private networks as a Remote AP. Centrally managed from an Aruba mobility controller, the AP-70 empowers the network administrator with extensive control over services, security and deployment models. The AP-70 supports unparalleled interface flexibility in an access point, supporting dual 10/100 Ethernet Interfaces, redundant 802.3af PoE sourcing, and a USB 2.0 interface for service extension. The AP-70 features onboard dual, integral, high-performance omni-directional multi-band antennas and also supports external antennas through quad, detachable antenna interfaces.
