Module description

Aruba's single and multi-radio wireless access points serve as secure network on-ramps, aggregating wireless user traffic and forwarding it to Aruba's highly secure Multi-Service Mobility Controllers, where per-user role based access controls are applied. In the FIPS 140-2 mode of operation, Aruba APs in conjunction with the Mobility Controller support the IEEE 802.11i client standard, the xSec client and 256-bit AES encryption. Also, Aruba APs can provide Air Monitoring for intrusion detection and have Wi-Fi Alliance certification for IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and IEEE 802.11
