OVERVIEW

The affordable mid-range Aruba 207 Series access point delivers high performance 802.11ac for medium density enterprise

environments. With the integrated BLE and supporting 802.3af power, the Aruba 207 Series AP enables enterprises to

improve their work efficiency and productivity with the lowest TCO.

Figure 1 shows the appearance of Aruba 207 AP.

KEY FEATURES

• Dual Radio 802.11ac Access Point - Supports up to 867 Mbps in the 5GHz band (with 2SS/VHT80 clients) and up to 400

Mbps in the 2.4GHz band (with 2SS/VHT40 clients).

• Built-in Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) radio

- Enables location-based services with BLE-enabled mobile devices receiving signals from multiple Aruba Beacons at the

same time.

- Enables management of a network of Aruba Beacons.

• Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) - Minimizes interference from 3G/4G cellular networks, distributed antenna systems

and commercial small cell/femtocell equipment.

• Quality of Service for Unified Communication apps - Supports priority handling and policy enforcement for unified

communication apps, including Microsoft Skype for Business, with encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop

sharing.

• RF Management

- Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology automatically assigns channel and power settings, provides airtime fairness,

Router-switch.com 2
and ensures that APs stay clear of all sources of RF interference to deliver reliable, high-performance WLANs.

- The Aruba 207 Series APs can be configured to provide part-time or dedicated air monitoring for wireless intrusion

protection, VPN tunnels to extend remote locations to corporate resources, and wireless mesh connections where Ethernet

drops are not available.

• Intelligent app visibility and control

- AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection to classify and block, prioritize, or limit bandwidth for thousands of

applications in a range of categories

• Security

- Integrated wireless intrusion protection offers threat protection and mitigation, and eliminates the need for separate RF

sensors and security appliances.

- IP reputation and security services identify, classify, and block malicious files, URLs and IPs, providing comprehensive

protection against advanced online threats.

- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of credentials and keys.

OPERATING MODE

Aruba 207 Series APs offer a choice of operating modes to meet your unique management and deployment requirements.

• Controller-managed mode – When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, Aruba 207 Series APs offer centralized

configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and centralized traffic

forwarding.

• 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. If WLAN requirements change, a built-in migration path allows 207 Series Instant APs to

become part of a WLAN that is managed by a Mobility Controller.

• Remote AP (RAP) for branch deployments.

• Air monitor (AM) for wireless IDS, rogue detection and containment.

• Secure enterprise mesh.

For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba Activate service significantly reduces deployment time by automating

device provisioning, firmware upgrades, and inventory management. With Aruba Activate, Instant APs are factory-shipped

to any site and configure themselves when powered up.
