Aruba Networks AP-104 2x2 MIMO Dual Radio Wireless Access Point 802.11a/b/g/n

Condition: This item has been removed from a clean office environment. It is sold as the Wireless Access Point main unit with Antennae only (as pictured). It does NOT include any mounting hardware, PSU or cables.

It is in full working order and has been reset to factory settings.

It is in very good used condition, there may be a slight bit of yellowing to the plastics and the odd minor scuff/scratch mark, but this is all purely cosmetic and will not affect the performance of the item.

Part/Model Number: AP-104

Warranty: Supplied with 90 Days Return to Base warranty.

Aruba AP-104 Key Features

2×2 MIMO dual-band 2.4-GHz/5-GHz radios
Data rates up to 300 Mbps
802.11a/b/g/n

The AP-104 features two 2×2 MIMO dual-band 2.4-GHz/5-GHz radios with four external omni-directional antennas. With ceiling and wall-mounting options, the AP-104 is built to provide years of trouble-free operation.

Working with Aruba’s line of centralised Mobility Controllers, the AP-104 delivers secure, high-speed network services that move users to a "wireless where possible, wired where necessary" network access model. The network can then be rightsized by eliminating unused Ethernet switch ports and thereby reducing operating costs.

802.11n enables the use of wireless as a primary connection with speed and reliability comparable to a wired LAN. It also increases performance by utilizing techniques such as channel bonding, block acknowledgement and MIMO radios. Advanced antenna technology also increases range and reliability.

The key to ensuring wire-like performance and reliability is Aruba’s unique Adaptive Radio Management and spectrum analysis* capabilities, which manage the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands to deliver maximum client performance while mitigating any RF interference.

The multifunction AP-104 can be configured through the Mobility Controller to provide WLAN access with part-time air monitoring, dedicated air monitoring for wireless IPS and spectrum analysis, Remote AP (RAP) functionality or secure enterprise mesh. The AP-104 features a 100/1000BASE-T Ethernet interface and can operate from standard 802.3af power-over-Ethernet (PoE) sources or a 12-volt DC power supply.
