The Aruba AP-204 and AP-205 wireless access points support the IEEE 802.11ac and 802.11n standards for high-performance
WLAN. These access points use MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and other high-throughput mode techniques to
deliver high-performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz and 802.11ac 5 GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting legacy 802.11a/b/g
wireless services. The AP-200 Series access points work only in conjunction with an Aruba Controller. The Aruba AP-200 Series
access point provides the following capabilities:
Wireless transceiver
Protocol-independent networking functionality
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless access point
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless air monitor
Compatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE
Central management configuration and upgrades through a controller
