Aruba RAP-155P RAP-155P-US Data Sheet

The multifunctional Aruba RAP-155 series delivers secure 
802.11n wireless and wired networking to small/medium 
businesses and access to corporate resources from branch 
offices. It is ideal for ultra-high-density Wi-Fi environments 
that require fast encrypted throughput.

With unmatched deployment flexibility, the RAP-155 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 establishing secure IPsec VPN 
tunnels back to Mobility Controllers.

The RAP-155 series offers a wide range of enterprise-class 
features, including role-based network access, and policy-
based forwarding.

At locations that require greater coverage, the RAP-155 can 
join an Aruba Instant WLAN cluster. Simply install additional 
RAP-155s 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 450 Mbps, the dual-radio RAP-
155 has five Ethernet ports (one uplink and four local) and a 
USB port to connect to 3G and 4G networks. Optionally, the 
RAP-155 can provide power over Ethernet (PoE) on its two 
local ports for IP phones and other devices.

When operating in Aruba Instant mode, the cloud-based 
Aruba Activate™ service dramatically reduces RAP 
deployment time by performing zero-touch provisioning  
and inventory management.

With Aruba Activate, RAPs are factory-shipped to 
remote deployment sites and obtain their configurations 
automatically when powered up.

REMOTE ACCESS POINTS

High-performance wireless and wired 

networking for small/medium businesses and 

branch offices

• ClientMatch™ technology eliminates sticky clients by 

continuously gathering session performance metrics and 
utilizing this data to steer mobile devices to the best AP 
and radio, even as users roam and RF conditions change.

• Adaptive Radio Management™ (ARM) technology 

automatically assigns channel and power settings, 
provides airtime fairness, auto-corrects Wi-Fi coverage 
holes, and ensures that APs stay clear of RF interference.

• Zero-touch provisioning as well as inventory management 

with the cloud-based Aruba Activate service.

• Security:

 

- With an 

service subscription, Aruba Instant 

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.
