AP-60 and AP-61 Single-Radio Wireless

The Aruba AP-60 and AP-61 are single radio (dual-band 802.11a or b/g) highperformance indoor wireless access points, capable of supporting multiple functions including WLAN access, air monitoring/wireless intrusion detection and prevention, and secure enterprise mesh across the 2.4-2.5 GHz and 5 GHz RF spectrums.

The Aruba AP-60 and AP-61 access points support diverse deployment options, delivering secure user-centric network services and applications in enterprise, campus and branch office environments, and remotely over public or private networks as a Remote / Mobile AP. Centrally managed from an Aruba mobility controller, the AP-60 and AP-61 empower the network administrator with unparalleled control over services, security and deployment models. The AP-60 supports external antennas through dual, detachable antenna interfaces and the AP-61 supports dual, integral, high-performance omni-directional multi-band antennas.
