Aruba 205 Access Point

High-performance dual-radio 802.11ac access points for hospitality and branch deployments

The multifunctional and affordable AP-205 access point (AP) combines high-performance wireless mobility with wired Gigabit Ethernet access in a surprisingly compact device.

This compact and cost-effective dual-radio AP easily mounts to a standard data wall-box and uses the existing structured cabling system to provide secure wired and wireless network access in dormitories, classrooms, hotels, medical clinics and multitenant environments

In addition, using a unique mount kit accessory, the AP-205 can easily be converted to a desk mounted AP to provide the same benefits for branch offices and teleworkers

Capable of delivering high-performance Wi-Fi services to multiple rooms, the 205 simplifies RF coverage planning and reduces WLAN deployment costs. The AP-205 is built to provide years of trouble-free operation and is backed by Aruba’s limited lifetime warranty.

The 205 delivers wireless data rates of up to 867 Mbps to 5-GHz devices with 802.11ac technology leveraging two spatial MIMO streams while simultaneously supporting 2.4-GHz 802.11n clients with data rates of up to 400 Mbp

The integrated antennas of the 205 are optimized for the deployments with the AP mounted vertically on either a wall or desk. The antenna patterns are slightly directional, focusing RF energy to and from the area facing the front of the AP.
