Aruba AP-120 Series Indoor Access Point

Installation Guide

| December 2007

The Aruba AP-120 series of wireless access points support the imminent IEEE 802.11n (currently draft 
2.0) standard for high-performance WLAN. These access points use MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) 
technology and other high-throughput mode techniques to deliver high-performance, pre-802.11n 
2.4GHz and 5GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. 
The AP-120 series access points are available in versions with single or dual radios and with integrated 
antennas or RP-SMA interfaces that support detachable antennas. The AP-120 series access points work 
only in conjunction with an Aruba Mobility Controller.

The Aruba AP-120 series access points provide the following capabilities:
