Aruba Networks AP-225 2.4Ghz 600Mbps 10/100BASE-T Ethernet and Wireless Remote Access Point APIN0225.
Aruba Model Name: AP-225
Aruba Model Number: APIN0225
Unique Benefits
• Allows phased wired infrastructure upgrades
- Adapts to available 802.3af power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
instead of requiring customers to upgrade to 802.3at PoE+.
• Delivers 1.9 Gbps aggregate throughput.
- EtherChannel link aggregation on two Gigabit Ethernet
ports provides 1.9 Gbps throughput.
• 600 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band.
- Supports up to 600 Mbps for TurboQAM-enabled mobile
devices operating in the 2.4-GHz band – an industry first.
• Best-in-class RF management
- Integrated Adaptive Radio Management technology
manages the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands and
ensures that APs stay clear of RF interference.
• Spectrum analysis
- Capable of part-time or dedicated air monitoring, the
spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4-GHz and
5-GHz radio bands to identify sources of RF interference.
• Secure enterprise mesh
• Security
- Integrated wireless intrusion protection offers threat
protection and mitigation and eliminates the need for
separate RF sensors and security appliances.
- IP reputation and security services identify, classify, and
block malicious files, URL and IPs, providing comprehensive
protection against advanced online threats.
- Encrypted IPsec VPN tunnels securely connect remote
users to corporate network resources.
- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure
storage of credentials and keys.
- SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired
Ethernet traffic.
Operating Modes
The 220 series APs offer a choice of operating modes to meet
your unique management and deployment requirements.
• Controller-managed AP or Remote AP (RAP) running
ArubaOS. When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers,
220 series APs offer centralized configuration, data
encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as
well as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding.
• Aruba Instant AP running InstantOS. In Aruba Instant
mode, a single 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.
• Spectrum analysis identifies sources of RF interference
• Air monitor provides wireless intrusion protection
• Hybrid AP serves Wi-Fi clients and provides wireless
intrusion protection and spectrum analysis
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 factoryshipped to any site and configure themselves when powered up.
If WLAN and network requirements change, a built-in
migration path allows 220 series Instant APs to become part
of a WLAN that is centrally managed by a Mobility Controller.
AP-220 Series Specifications
• AP-225 and IAP-225
- 2.4-GHz (600 Mbps max) and 5-GHz (1.3 Gbps max)
radios, each with 3x3 MIMO and three integrated omnidirectional downtilt antennas.
• AP type: Indoor, dual radio, 5 GHz 802.11ac and
2.4 GHz 802.11n
- In addition to 802.11n data rates, the 2.4-GHz
radio supports 802.11ac data rates using 256-QAM
modulation. This gives TurboQAM-enabled clients a 33%
boost above the maximum supported data rate.
• Software-configurable dual radio supports 5 GHz
and 2.4 GHz
• 3x3 MIMO with three spatial streams and up to 1.3 Gbps
wireless data rate
• Support for up to 256 associated client devices per radio,
and up to 16 BSSIDs per radio
• Supported frequency bands (country-specific
restrictions apply):
- 2.4000 GHz to 2.4835 GHz
- 5.150 GHz to 5.250 GHz
- 5.250 GHz to 5.350 GHz
- 5.470 GHz to 5.725 GHz
- 5.725 GHz to 5.850 GHz
• Available channels: Dependent upon configured
regulatory domain
• Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) optimizes the use of
available RF spectrum
• Supported radio technologies:
- 802.11b: Direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS)
- 802.11a/g/n/ac: Orthogonal frequency-division
multiplexing (OFDM)
- 802.11n/ac: 3x3 MIMO with up to three spatial streams
• Supported modulation types:
- 802.11b: BPSK, QPSK, CCK
- 802.11a/g/n: BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM
- 802.11ac: BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM, 256-QAM
• Transmit power: Configurable in increments of 0.5 dBm
• Maximum (aggregate, conducted total) transmit power
(limited by local regulatory requirements):
- 2.4-GHz band: +23 dBm (18 dBm per chain)
- 5-GHz bands: +23 dBm (18 dBm per chain)
• Advanced cellular coexistence (ACC) feature to effectively
deal with interference from cellular systems
• Maximum ratio combining (MRC) for improved
receiver performance
• Cyclic delay diversity (CDD) for improved downlink
RF performance
• Short guard interval for 20-MHz, 40-MHz and
80-MHz channels
• Space-time block coding (STBC) for increased range and
improved reception
• Low-density parity check (LDPC) for high-efficiency error
correction and increased throughput
• Transmit beam-forming (TxBF) for increased reliability in
signal delivery
