ARUBA 175 series outdoor ACCESS POINTs

For high-density Wi-Fi client environments

CHOOSE YOUR OPERATING MODE

The 175 series of outdoor APs offers a choice of operating modes
to meet your unique management and deployment requirements.

• Controller-managed mode. When managed by Aruba Mobility

Controllers, 175 series APs offer centralized configuration, data
encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as
distributed and centralized traffic forwarding. Please refer to the
Aruba Mobility Controller data sheets for more details.
• Aruba Instant™ mode. In Aruba Instant mode, a single AP
automatically distributes the network configuration to other
Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply power-up one Instant AP,
configure it over the air, and plug in the other APs – the entire
process takes about five minutes.

For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba Activate™

Multifunctional 175 series outdoor wireless access points service significantly reduces deployment time by automating device
