The RAP-5WN is a powerful platform for the multi-user small branch office or for power users who work from a home office. The RAP-5WN is a high-performance indoor Remote Access Point platform with multiple access and uplink technologies available. The RAP-5WN features wired and wireless connectivity and security, the ability forward traffic based on policy, user centric security, and backup connectivity over cellular networks make this platform ideally suited to the always-on office.

This multi-function Remote Access Point provides wired LAN connectivity on four 10/100 ports that can each be configured with a unique set of policies for secure user access and traffic forwarding. The RAP-5WN features wireless LAN capabilities on multiple SSIDs, air monitoring, and wireless intrusion detection and prevention over the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands (802.11a/b/g and 802.11n). The RAP-5WN provides a USB port for connection to a 3G modem for cellular backup of the WAN link.

The Remote Access Point works in conjunction with Aruba's Multi-Service Controllers to deliver high-speed, secure network services to your remote locations. The RAP-5WN operates over any available WAN or LAN transport connection and can be provisioned by the end user with no IT interaction.
