Instant Access Points

Aruba Instant is the first controllerless WLAN solution to deliver comprehensive enterprise-grade security, resiliency and scale to distributed networks. There are no physical or virtual controllers and no ongoing service fees, license fees or management appliances.

With Aruba Instant, one dynamically-elected AP automatically distributes the network configuration to other Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply power-up one Instant AP, configure it over the air, and plug in the other APs – the entire process takes about five minutes.

For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba Activate™ service significantly reduces deployment time by automating device provisioning, firmware upgrades, and inventory management. With Aruba Activate, Instant APs are factory-shipped to any site and configure themselves when powered up.

Enterprise-class features:

  • High-density Wi-Fi support with Adaptive Radio Management™
  • Full survivability in case of AP and WAN link failures
  • Seamless Layer 3 roaming between different Instant AP clusters
  • Always-on spectrum analysis with no performance impact
  • Per application QoS for multicast video and unified communications
  • Integrated wireless intrusion detection and protection
  • Policy based access to Apple Bonjour across subnets

Unique Features

Deploy any number of Aruba Instant APs
No Limits

You can deploy any number of Aruba Instant APs to create Wi-Fi networks of any size – indoors and outdoors. And if you don't have Ethernet cabling in that remote corner of the building, Aruba Instant can automatically mesh with other APs over the air.

Aruba Instant is easy to setup
About as Easy as Making Toast

Aruba Instant is incredibly easy to setup. Use over-the-air provisioning to get the first Instant AP running in minutes and then plug in the other APs. That's it. Seriously. Software updates are just as easy, too. With one click, software updates are downloaded from the Internet and automatically propagated to all the APs.

Aruba Instant includes a built-in firewall
All the Security You Need

Aruba Instant includes a built-in firewall that enforces role-based access privileges. And with an OpenDNS subscription, you can provide web filtering, malware and botnet protection to every mobile device on your WLAN. You can also provide secure guest access without having to touch upstream routers or firewalls.

Aruba Instant Adaptive Radio Management
Air Supremacy

Aruba Instant has the same Adaptive Radio Management™ technology that's deployed in over 20,000 customer WLANs around the world. With ARM™, Wi-Fi clients always use the best channel, band and AP – automatically. This boosts tablet and smartphone performance and keeps APs clear of RF interference and rogue devices.
