Description
Product Overview
The IAP-205-US Aruba Networks Instant IAP-205 is a wireless access point that provides fast and reliable wireless connectivity to users in a network. It uses the IEEE 802.11ac standard to transmit data at speeds of up to 867Mbps. This access point is suitable for use in small and medium-sized businesses, as well as in home networks.
IEEE 802.11ac Standard
The IEEE 802.11ac standard is the latest iteration of the IEEE 802.11 wireless networking standard. It was first introduced in 2013 and is designed to provide faster and more reliable wireless connectivity than its predecessor, the IEEE 802.11n standard.
One of the main features of the IEEE 802.11ac standard is the use of wider channels, which allows for faster data transmission rates. It also uses multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology, which allows for multiple data streams to be transmitted simultaneously, further increasing the speed and efficiency of the wireless network.
Wireless Access Point
A wireless access point (WAP) is a networking device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network. It acts as a bridge between wireless devices, such as laptops and smartphones, and the wired network infrastructure, such as switches and routers.
The IAP-205-US Aruba Networks Instant IAP-205 is a wireless access point that is designed to provide reliable wireless connectivity to users in a network. It supports the IEEE 802.11ac standard, which provides fast data transmission rates, allowing users to stream video, download files, and browse the web with ease.
Instant Access Point
The IAP-205-US Aruba Networks Instant IAP-205 is an instant access point, which means that it is designed to be easy to install and configure. It comes with a web-based user interface that allows users to quickly set up and configure the access point without the need for additional software or hardware.
The instant access point also supports a feature called zero-touch provisioning, which allows for the access point to be automatically configured and provisioned as soon as it is connected to the network. This makes it ideal for businesses and organizations that need to deploy a large number of access points quickly and easily.
Wireless Security
Wireless security is an important consideration when deploying a wireless network. The IAP-205-US Aruba Networks Instant IAP-205 supports a range of wireless security protocols, including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA2, which provide encryption and authentication for wireless networks.
The access point also supports the use of multiple virtual access points (VAPs), which allows for the creation of multiple wireless networks on a single access point. This can be useful for businesses and organizations that need to provide separate wireless networks for different departments or groups of users.
Overall, the IAP-205-US Aruba Networks Instant IAP-205 is a wireless access point that provides fast and reliable wireless connectivity to users in a network. It supports the IEEE 802.11ac standard, which provides fast data transmission rates, and is designed to be easy to install and configure.
The access point also supports a range of wireless security protocols, which helps to ensure that data transmitted over the wireless network is kept secure. It is a versatile and reliable wireless access point that is suitable for use in small and medium-sized businesses, as well as in home networks.
