Aruba 130 Series Access Points

Multifunctional 130 series wireless access points (APs) maximize mobile device performance in extremely high-density Wi-Fi environments and ensure strong threat protection using integrated MACSec security.

These ultra-high-performance 802.11n APs deliver wireless data rates up to 450 Mbps per radio and employ three spatial streams to support 50% more throughput and mobile devices than previous-generation APs.

MACSec authentication and encryption on Ethernet ports enable secure AP deployment by interoperating with the MACSec capability on Aruba Mobility Access Switches and other wiring closet equipment.

The 135 series of APs features two dual-band 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios with 3×3 MIMO and four integrated omni-directional downtilt antennas. The 134 series features the same radios with external antenna connectors.

Choose your operating mode

  • The 130 series of APs offers a choice of operating modes to meet your unique management and deployment requirements.
  • Controller-managed mode. When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, 130 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, the Aruba Activate dramatically reduces deployment time by automating Aruba Instant provisioning, firmware upgrades and inventory management. APs are factory-shipped to your deployment site and configure themselves when powered up.
