Access Points
AP-124 and AP-125

The Aruba AP-124 and AP-125 802.11n Access Points feature a field-upgradeable design and 3x3 Multiple-In Multiple-Out (MIMO), dual-radio (concurrent 802.11a/n + b/g/n) operation capable of delivering combined wireless data rates of up to 600Mbps. The access points will operate in 3x3 MIMO mode using existing 802.3af PoE infrastructure over a single Ethernet cable.

The access points support legacy 802.11a/b/g clients, for which MIMO operation should result in greater range and reliability.

Based on 2nd generation RF chips and high performance MIPS CPUs with hardware accelerated cryptographic processing, these access points can be used for wireless access, intrusion detection monitoring, traffic analysis, secure enterprise mesh, or remote access point applications across the 2.4-2.5GHz and 5GHz RF spectrums.

The mode of operation is determined by network-downloadable software, a feature that allows the access points to be re-purposed and updated without the expense of physically accessing the device.
