Multifunctional 220 series wireless APs deliver 
gigabit Wi-Fi performance to 802.11ac mobile 
devices. Integrated Aruba ClientMatch™ 
technology ensures consistently high performance 
across the WLAN infrastructure. 
With a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps in the 5-GHz band 
and 600 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band, 220 series APs are  
three-times faster than 802.11n APs and provide 
performance similar to a wired connection.
The 220 series APs include ClientMatch™ technology, which 
eliminates sticky clients by continuously gathering session 
performance metrics from mobile devices. This information 
is then used to steer each mobile device to the best AP and 
radio on the WLAN.
Proactive and deterministic, ClientMatch dynamically 
optimizes Wi-Fi client performance as users roam and RF 
conditions change. If a mobile device moves out of range of 
an AP or RF interference impedes performance, ClientMatch 
automatically steers it to a better AP.
With ClientMatch, 220 series APs load web pages faster, 
deliver video streams with improved quality and support high 
densities of mobile devices. An 802.11ac network without 
ClientMatch performs no different than an 802.11n WLAN.
The 220 series APs additionally support priority handling 
and policy enforcement for individual Microsoft Lync media 
on the same device, including encrypted videoconferencing, 
voice, chat and desktop sharing.
UniqUe benefits
• Allows phased wired infrastructure upgrades
Adapts to available 802.3af power-over-Ethernet (PoE) 
instead of requiring customers to upgrade to 802.3at PoE+.
