Aruba Mobility Controller |
Aruba Access Points |
The Aurba Mobility Controller is the central management and control unit that auto-discovers the Aruba Access Points and provides the 802.11 intelligence in harmony with advanced security and control capability. |
|
Aruba 802.11a/b/g access points operate exclusively with Aruba mobility controllers. Aruba APs simultaneously provide network access and RF monitoring services. These multifunction devices eliminate the need for a separate RF sensor network to troubleshoot and protect the wireless environment. Aruba mobility controllers automatically manage the operation of each AP, including power/transmit levels and channel assignments. Network traffic is tunneled from Aruba APs to mobility controllers using standards-based GRE or IPsec tunnels. Aruba offers both indoor and outdoor APs including the single radio Aruba 60, the dual-radio Aruba 70, and the outdoor Aruba 80. |
| FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES PROVIDED THROUGH THE ARUBA OPERATING SYSTEM |
All Aruba Mobility Controllers have exactly the same software features and capabilities. They all are built using a hardware platform that includes three separate processors (CPUs) - One for 802.11 management and control, one for encryption and decryption, and one for running the Aruba Operating System (with support for firewall security, VLASs, location tracing, and other features). Mobility Controllers that support the greatest number of Aruba Access Points utilize faster processors, more memory, and different board-level configurations to provide the fastest operation. In all other respects, all controllers provide identical software features and they all run exactly the same version of the Aruba Operating System (and add-in modules.) The Aruba Operating System provides these features for all Aruba Mobility Controllers and all Aruba Access Points: |
| SECURE AUTHENTICATION, ENCRYPTION & ACCESS CONTROL |
|
| SEAMELESS MOBILITY |
|
| RF MANAGEMENT, RF PLANNING & TROUBLESHOOTING |
|
| NETWORK MANAGEMENT & HIGH_AVAILABILITY |
|
| QoS, VoIP SUPPORT & LOCATION TRACKING |
|
| ADDITIONAL, ADD-IN SOFTWARE MODELS TO EXTEND THE CAPABILITIES AND FEATURES OF THE ARUBA OPERATING SYSTEM |
| Each of these modules is purchased separately to enhance the capabilities of your Aruba Mobility Controller |

Connect802 is your experienced source for Aruba Networks, the Mobile Edge Company. When you buy Aruba Networks Access Points or Wireless LAN Controllers you know you're getting a full suite of features and capabilities that are not integrated into other vendor's products. Dedicated Air Monitors provide performance analysis and wireless intrusion protection. Because Aruba Access Points are lightweight access points they provide an ideal solution for voice on the mobile edge, wireless secrity for credit cards, and the WLAN in healthcare operations. These are controlled access points that help assure enterprise investment protection and a lower TCO. Wireless for K-12 schools and guest-access HotSpot access in the hospitaility industry are also ideal candidates for an Aruba Networks access point deployment.
Much of the software in Aruba's switching system focuses on security, and the company's access points can double as detectors of rogue equipment. When the Aruba access points are deployed in monitor-only mode, the system becomes a complex security structure. Aruba Wireless Networks ships a number of Wi-Fi multiplexer devices that can eliminate the challenges ofintegrating legacy access points into wired campus networks.A Wi-Fi mux moves the integration point of legacy APs with wired networks, from the wiring closet to a centralized location such as the backbone or the data center. It acts as a proxy for legacy APs and securely tunnels traffic over IP networks to a centralized Wi-Fi switch. The Wi-Fi switch aggregates traffic from multiple Wi-Fi muxes and enforces security and mobility policies at a central network location. The Aruba 800 Wi-Fi mux can attach to both the Aruba 5000 and the Aruba 800 Wi-Fi switches.
Aruba's products conform to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) which requires that all health care areas provide for the confidentiality of patient records both for storage and transmission. HIPAA compliance includes use of advanced encryption, access control, and user authentication -- namely "irrefutable" unique identification of the user. Aruba claims the switch's multi-factor authentication meet this requirement. Unauthorized users are summarily rejected by the switch.
