Module description

Aruba's Wi-Fi access points serve as secure network on-ramps, aggregating wireless user traffic and forwarding it to Aruba's highly secure Mobility Controllers, where per-user role based access controls are applied through an integrated firewall. In FIPS 140-2 Mode, Aruba APs in conjunction with the Mobility Controller support the IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 client standard along with optional Suite B cryptography. Aruba APs also provide wireless intrusion detection/prevention services, support wireless mesh topologies, and have Wi-Fi Alliance certification for IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n.
