ARUBA INSTANT

IAP-92 AND IAP-93 ACCESS POINTS

For low-density Wi-Fi client environments

The IAP-92 and IAP-93 virtualize Aruba Mobility Controller functionality to create a feature-rich, enterprise-grade wireless LAN (WLAN) that combines affordability with unmatched configuration simplicity.

Deployed at a single location or at multiple sites, the IAP-92 and

IAP-93 maximize mobile device performance in low-density Wi-Fi client environments.

Multiple Aruba Instant APs can be managed by a single AP that is dynamically elected the Virtual Controller, and multiple Virtual

Controller networks can be centrally managed with the Aruba

AirWave™ network management system.

The IAP-92 features one 2×2 MIMO dual-band 2.4-GHz or 5-GHz radio with external antenna connectors, while the IAP-93 features the same radio with internal antennas. Both provide years of trouble-free operation and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

VIRTUAL CONTROLLER TECHNOLOGY

The Virtual Controller technology in Aruba Instant delivers enterprise-grade capabilities such as automatic quality of service (QoS), 802.1X authentication, role- and device-based policy enforcement, rogue containment and Adaptive Radio

Management™ (ARM™), which optimizes Wi-Fi client behavior by making sure that APs stay clear of RF interference.

EASY TO DEPLOY

Aruba Instant is up and running in minutes. From a laptop, simply connect wirelessly to an SSID to perform over-the-air provisioning in minutes. To expand wireless coverage, simply install more

Aruba Instant APs – configurations are automatically distributed from the Virtual Controller.

HIGH AVAILABILITY

Aruba Instant employs a fully distributed architecture and is resilient to failure. If an Aruba Instant AP functioning as the primary

Virtual Controller fails, another Aruba Instant AP automatically inherits the role of the primary Virtual Controller with no service disruption. The primary Virtual Controller operates like any other

Aruba Instant AP with full WLAN functionality.

MANAGEMENT AND VISIBILITY

Multiple Aruba Instant networks can be securely and centrally managed by AirWave, allowing Aruba Instant to operate in hundreds of distributed locations. With AirWave, IT has real-time visibility into users, mobile devices, and the wired and wireless infrastructure from a single management console.

The multifunction Aruba Instant can be configured to provide WLAN access with part-time air monitoring, dedicated air monitoring for wireless IPS and secure enterprise mesh functionality.

INVESTMENT PROTECTION

As application and WLAN requirements change over time, Aruba

Instant can migrate to a centralized Mobility Controller architecture.
