Aruba 104 Wireless Access Point | 802.11abgn | dual radio | IAP104

The multifunction AP-104 and AP-105 are affordable indoor
802.11n access points (AP) designed for high-density deployments
in offices, hospitals, schools and retail stores.

The AP-105 features two 2x2 MIMO dual-band 2.4-GHz/5-GHz
radios with two internal omni-directional downtilt antennas, which
make it ideal for warehouses and other high-ceiling facilities. The
AP-104 features the same radios with external antenna connectors.

These compact, high-speed APs deliver wire-like performance at
data rates up to 300 Mbps per radio. With ceiling- and wall-mount
options, they are built to provide years of trouble-free operation and
are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Working with Aruba’s line of centralized Mobility Controllers,
the AP-104 and AP-105 deliver secure, high-speed network
services that move users to a “wireless where possible, wired
where necessary” network access model. The network can then
be rightsized by eliminating unused Ethernet switch ports, which
reduces operating costs.

802.11n enables the use of wireless as a primary connection with
speed and reliability comparable to a wired LAN. It also increases
performance by utilizing techniques such as channel bonding,
block acknowledgement and MIMO radios. Advanced antenna
technology also increases RF signal range and reliability.

The key to ensuring wire-like performance and reliability is Aruba’s
unique Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) and spectrum analysis
capabilities, which manage the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands
to ensure maximum client performance while mitigating any RF
interference.

The AP-104 and AP-105 can be configured through the Mobility
Controller to provide WLAN access with part-time air monitoring,
dedicated air monitoring for wireless intrusion protection and
spectrum analysis, Remote AP (RAP) functionality or secure
enterprise mesh.

The APs feature a 100/1000BASE-T Ethernet interface and can
operate from standard 802.3af power-over-Ethernet (PoE) sources
or a 12-volt DC power supply.

Application
• Indoor 802.11n dual-radio, dual-band AP for high-density
deployments in warehouses, offices, hospitals, schools and retail
stores.

Operating Mode
• 802.11a/b/g/n AP, air monitor (AM) and Remote AP (RAP)
• Spectrum monitor, AM and RAP
• AM and RAP
• Remote AP
• Secure enterprise mesh 

Radios
• Software-configurable dual radio capable of supporting 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz
• Both radios 802.11n capable, implementing 2x2 MIMO with two
spatial streams, providing up to 300 Mbps data rate per radio

RF Management
• Automatic transmit power and channel management control with
auto coverage hole correction via Adaptive Radio Management
(ARM)
• Spectrum analysis remotely scans the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz
radio bands to identify sources of RF interference. This provides
visibility into non-802.11 RF interference sources and their effect
on 802.11n channel quality.

ADvANCED FEATURES
• Integrated RAP, secure enterprise mesh point or portal, and
wireless intrusion detection and prevention
• Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of
credentials and keys
