These high-performance 802.11n APs deliver wireless data rates
up to 300 Mbps per radio and ensure peak performance by
utilizing channel bonding, block acknowledgement and MIMO
radios. Advanced antenna technology also increases RF signal

The 105 series of APs features two dual-band 2.4-GHz and
5-GHz radios with 2x2 MIMO and four integrated omni-directional
downtilt antennas, making it ideal for warehouses and high-ceiling
deployments. The 104 series features the same radios with
external antenna connectors.

WI-FI CLIENT OPTIMIZATION
To eliminate sticky client behavior, every Aruba AP comes with
ClientMatch™ technology, which continuously gathers session
performance metrics and utilizes this data to steer mobile devices
to the best AP and radio on the WLAN, even while users roam.

BEST-IN-CLASS RF MANAGEMENT
All Aruba APs include Adaptive Radio Management™ technology,
which is essential to creating the most reliable, high-performance
WLANs. ARM™ manages the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands to
optimize Wi-Fi client performance and ensures that APs stay clear
of RF interference.

The 100 series can be configured to provide part-time or
dedicated air monitoring for spectrum analysis and wireless
intrusion protection, VPN tunnels to extend remote locations
to corporate resources, and wireless mesh connections where
Ethernet drops are not available.

Controller-managed mode. When managed by Aruba Mobility
Controllers, 100 series APs offer centralized configuration, data
encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as
distributed and centralized traffic forwarding. Please refer to the

Aruba Instant™ mode. 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.

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 factory-shipped to any site and
configure themselves when powered up.

If WLAN and network requirements change, a built-in migration
path allows 100 series Instant APs to become part of a WLAN that
is centrally managed by a Mobility Controller.
