The Aruba AP-80SB and AP-80MB access points are the ideal wireless solution for harsh outdoor environments where conventional Wi-Fi access points or wireless bridges cannot be deployed.

The AP-80SB and AP-80 MB are dual-radio 802.11a/ b/g access points with wireless backhaul capability that can also function as secure WDS point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bridges. Designed for extreme, all-weather deployment, the AP-80SB and AP-80MB offer a flexible solution that supports a variety of applications using attachable antennas and an integrated PPP-over-Ethernet client to enable remote deployments over service provider networks.
