AP-41 Single-Radio Wireless

The Aruba AP-41 is a single radio (dual-band 802.11 a or b/g), enterpriseclass indoor wireless access point, capable of supporting multiple functions including WLAN access and air monitoring/wireless intrusion detection and prevention across the 2.4-2.5 GHz and 5 GHz RF spectrums.

The AP-41 access point delivers secure user-centric network services and applications in small enterprise and remote office environments, as well as for home office workers and telecommuters. Centrally managed from an Aruba mobility controller, the AP-41 provides the network administrator with unparalleled control over services and security. The AP-41 supports 802.3af compliant PoE and has a single integral, omni-directional, multi-band antenna.
