The AP-61 is ideal for dense AP deployments where only single-band coverage is desired. The AP-61 is also commonly deployed as an indoor mesh bridge. It is ideal for challenging low-density deployments that require above-ceiling or enclosure-based installations.

The AP-121 is a high-speed, multifunction single-radio indoor 802.11a/b/g/n AP with 3x3 MIMO. It offers maximum deployment flexibility for single-band WLAN coverage with multiple antenna options, Ethernet pass-through, mesh and sensor capabilities, and can operate as a Remote AP (RAP).

The Aruba 6000 is designed to be the most scalable modular controller available today. Designed for corporate headquarters and large campus-wide deployments, the Aruba 6000 features 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections and is able to aggregate up to 8,192 access points in a single modular chassis.

Professor Subhashis Banerjee of Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Delhi, says, “We have deployed Aruba WLAN solution in our entire campus since last one year. The Solution is working trouble-free and over 2,000 users regularly use the WLAN network. We are happy with the support provided during deployment and afterwards.”
