Aruba RAP-100 Series Remote Access Points

Aruba Data Sheet

When operating in Aruba Instant mode, the cloud-based Aruba 
Activate™ service dramatically reduces RAP-100 series 
deployment time by performing zero-touch provisioning, firmware 
upgrades and inventory management. With Aruba Activate, 
RAP-100s are factory-shipped to remote deployment sites and 
obtain their configurations automatically when powered up.

•

ClientMatch technology eliminates sticky clients by continuously 
gathering session performance metrics and using this 
information to steer them to the best AP and radio.

•

ARM technology delivers best-in-class RF management, 
including automatic transmit power and channel control with 
auto coverage-hole correction.

•

Zero-touch provisioning as well as automated firmware  
upgrades and inventory management with the cloud-based 
Aruba Activate service.

•

Spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio 
bands to identify sources of RF interference.

Security:

 

-

With an 

 service subscription, Aruba Instant  

RAPs delivers integrated web filtering, malware and botnet 

protection to every device connected to the WLAN

 

-

Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage 

of credentials and keys

 

-

SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired  

Ethernet traffic

 

-

VPN configuration functionality enables the Instant AP to 

create a single VPN tunnel to an Aruba Mobility Controller 

in the data center. The Mobility Controller acts solely as a 

VPN end-point and does not supply the Instant AP with any 

configuration.

High-performance wireless and wired networking for SMBs, branch offices  

and teleworkers

The multifunctional Aruba RAP-100 series delivers secure 802.11n 
wireless and wired networking to SMBs and access to corporate 
resources from branch and home offices.

With unmatched deployment flexibility, the RAP-100 series can 
operate in Aruba Instant™ mode controlled by the AirWave™ 
management platform or in controller-managed mode where all 
network services are centralized by Aruba Mobility Controllers.

In Aruba Instant mode, traffic is locally bridged but it still provides 
the flexibility of secure tunneling to Mobility Controllers.

To eliminate client stickiness, the RAP-100 series includes 
integrated ClientMatch™ technology, which continuously gathers 
session performance metrics and uses this data to every device to 
the best AP and radio on the WLAN, even while users roam and 
RF conditions change.

The RAP-100 series also offers a wide range of enterprise-class 
features, including role-based network access, policy-based 
forwarding, and Adaptive Radio Management™ (ARM), which 
optimizes Wi-Fi client performance and ensures that Aruba APs 
stay clear of interference.

At locations that require greater coverage, the RAP-100 can join 
an Aruba Instant WLAN cluster. Simply install additional RAP-100s 
or any Aruba Instant AP and the entire cluster is managed as one. 
If one Aruba Instant AP fails, another AP automatically takes over 
with no disruption.

With a wireless data rate up to 300 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz 
radio bands, the RAP-100 series has one 10/100/1000BASE-T 
Ethernet uplink, one 10/100BASE-T local Ethernet port and one USB 
port to connect to 3G and 4G networks.
