AP Aruba 228: Improve WiFi performance in harsh indoor environments
Tired of APs (Access Point) that do not meet your demands for wireless connection in high-complexity indoor locations? What to do to achieve better WiFi performance in harsh environments for connection in places such as closed warehouses, industrial freezers or large concurrence sites such as stadiums?
Aruba Networks, the prestigious wireless network company, has the solution through its high-performance AP-228: A high-performance Access Point that offers Wi-Fi performance to 802.11ac in harsh indoor environments.
A P-228 has a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps in the 5 GHz band and 600 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. Aruba 228 APs are three-times faster than 802.11n APs and provide performance similar to a wired connection.
This AP includes ClientMatch technology, which eliminates sticky clients by continuously gathering session performance metrics from mobile devices. This information is used to steer each mobile device to the best AP and radio on the WLAN.
ClientMatch technology is proactive and has proven to be very effective in optimizing Wi-Fi client performance as users roam. In the event that a mobile device moves out of range of an AP or RF interference impedes performance, ClientMatch automatically steers it to a better AP.
The AP-228 of Aruba Networks allow you to make policy enforcement management for individual Microsoft Lync media on the same device, including encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop sharing.
In addition to being designed for harsh environments, these robust Access Point are enabled to protect from the weather with sealed connector interfaces that lock out dust and moisture. They also offer an aggregate throughput of 1.9 Gbps by having EtherChannel link aggregation on two Gigabit Ethernet.
