Ethernet Compatibility
The Aruba 70 attaches to 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) LAN segments that utilize 10Base-
T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) wiring. The device appears as an Ethernet node and performs a
routing function by moving packets between the wired LAN and remote workstations on the
wireless infrastructure.

Radio Characteristics
The Aruba 70 can be configured to support IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an
AP, and supports both IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AM:

802.11a provides a high data rate and reliable wireless connectivity
802.11a operation uses a radio modulation technique known as Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It operates
in the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) band. Data is
transmitted over a half-duplex radio channel operating at up to 54 Megabits per second
(Mbps).

802.11b provides an alternative to wired LANs that can dramatically cut costs
802.11b operation uses the IEEE 802.11 High-Rate Direct Sequence (HRDS)
specification, and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It operates in the 2.4GHz
Industrial/Scientific/Medical (ISM) band. The ISM band is available worldwide for
unlicensed use. Data is transmitted at speeds of up to 11 Mbps.
