The multifunctional Aruba RAP-3 delivers secure 802.11n wireless
and wired network access to corporate resources from branch
and home offices.
Centrally managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, the RAP-3
extends corporate resources to remote locations by establishing
site-to-site VPN tunnels to the data center.
To eliminate client stickiness, the RAP-3 includes integrated
ClientMatch™ technology, which continuously gathers session
performance metrics and uses this data to every device to the
best AP and radio on the WLAN, even while users roam and RF
conditions change.
The RAP-3 also offers a variety of enterprise-class features,
including role-based network access, policy-based forwarding,
and Adaptive Radio Management™ (ARM), which gives remote
workers the same high- Wi-Fi experience they get at
corporate headquarters.
Delivering a wireless data rate of up to 300 Mbps, the RAP-3
has three 10/100BASE-T Ethernet ports and one USB port
for connecting to 3G and 4G networks. It is also available with
an 802.3af power-over-Ethernet (PoE) port (RAP-3WNP model) for
IP phones or other devices.
At locations that require greater coverage, the RAP-3 can join an
Aruba Instant™ WLAN cluster. Simply install additional RAP-3s
or any Instant AP and the entire cluster is managed as one. If
one Instant AP fails, another AP automatically takes over with
no disruption.
