Module description
Aruba's RAP-5WN access point aggregates wired and wireless user traffic and forwards it to an Aruba Mobility Controller through a secure IPsec tunnel, using the public Internet or an optional 3G/4G WWAN service for backhaul. In the FIPS 140-2 mode of operation, Aruba APs in conjunction with the Mobility Controller support the IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 standard along with optional Suite B cryptography for high-assurance applications. 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.
