Wed, April 1, 2009 Aruba Networks, Inc.: Aruba Networks' 802.11n Solution Wins Network Computing's Wireless Infrastructure Product of the Year Awa
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - April 2, 2009) - Aruba Networks, Inc. (
First shipped in February 2008, the dual-radio AP-125 was the first 802.11n access point on the market to be powered from a single 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet source while operating in 3x3 MIMO mode. It is also among the smallest 802.11n enterprise access points on the market, featuring an ultra-compact enclosure designed for wall or ceiling mounting. At less than one-fifth the weight of its closest rival, the AP-125 can be easily be affixed to a suspended ceiling without any additional reinforcement.
"802.11n is a game-changing wireless technology but it requires careful implementation to deliver wire-like performance and high security," said Keerti Melkote, Aruba's co-founder and chief technical officer. "The AP-125 includes many path-breaking features including very low-power consumption, touch-free over-the-network updates, a Trusted Platform Module to protect network certificates, integrated flat-panel antennas, and a snap-lock ceiling mounting bracket. Used in tandem with Aruba's Adaptive Radio Management technology to optimize 802.11n performance in real-time, and with Aruba's policy-enforcement firewall to secure the network, these features give the AP-125 family its industry-leading performance and security. We're honored to have the capabilities of this innovative product recognized by Network Computing."
