IAP-103

ADVANCED CELLULAR COEXISTENCE (ACC)
Aruba’s Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) feature
enables WLANs to perform at peak efficiency by minimizing
interference from 3G/4G LTE networks, distributed antenna
systems and commercial small cell/femtocell equipment.

WI-FI CLIENT OPTIMIZATION
To eliminate sticky client behavior while users roam, the
Aruba 103 series APs feature Aruba’s patented ClientMatch
technology, which continuously gathers session performance
metrics from mobile devices.
If a mobile device moves away from an AP or if RF
interference impedes performance, ClientMatch
automatically steers the device to a better AP.

QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR LYNC
Aruba 103 series APs additionally support priority handling
and policy enforcement for individual Microsoft Lync media
on the same device, including encrypted videoconferencing,
voice, chat and desktop sharing.
For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba Activate
service significantly reduces deployment time by automating
device provisioning, firmware upgrades, and inventory
management. With Aruba Activate, Instant APs are factoryshipped to any site and configure themselves when powered up.
If WLAN and network requirements change, a built-in
migration path allows Aruba Instant APs to become part of a
WLAN that is centrally managed by a Mobility Controller.

ADVANCED FEATURES
• Spectrum analysis
– Capable of part-time or dedicated air monitoring, the
spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4-GHz and
5-GHz radio bands to identify sources of RF interference
• Security
– Integrated wireless intrusion protection offers thread
protection and mitigation, and eliminates the need for
separate RF sensors and security appliances
– IP reputation and security services identify, classify, and
block malicious files, URL and IPs, providing comprehensive
protection against advanced online threats
– Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure
storage of credentials and keys
– SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired
Ethernet traffic
