Aruba 90 Series Access Points

For low-density Wi-Fi client environments Multifunctional and affordable 90 series wireless access points (APs) deliver enterprise-grade Wi-Fi to low-density client environments in offices, hospitals, schools and retail stores.

These high-performance 802.11n APs deliver wireless data rates up to 300 Mbps per radio and ensure peak performance by utilizing channel bonding, block acknowledgement and MIMO radios. Advanced antenna technology also increases RF signal range and reliability.

The 93 series of APs features one dual-band 2.4-GHz or 5-GHz radio with 2×2 MIMO and two integrated omni-directional antennas. The 92 series feature the same radios with external antenna connectors.

Choose your operating mode

The 90 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, 90 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 device provisioning, firmware upgrades and inventory management. Aruba Instant APs are factory-shipped to your remote offices and configure themselves when powered up.

My company has been working with PGH for a few years now and our operations are far more streamlined now. The PGH team does very well to point out where we can improve our technology needs and is able to put things in laymen's terms for us. Their techs are also very helpful when one of our employees need tech support.

My company has been working with PGH Networks since 2019 and without them, we would still be in the '90s when it comes to technology! Because of their proactive approach with us, we were able to smoothly transition to a more WFH environment through the 2020 pandemic. Today, we are constantly reviewing and ensuring that our technology is meeting our needs and keeping our company and client data safe, as security is a huge priority for us! I would recommend PGH Networks to ANYONE in need of managed services!

Our company has worked with PGH for about four years, and they are always professional and responsive. I appreciate that they consider our specific needs and provide solutions geared to us. They're easy to work with, take time to explain things in a way that a non-technical person can understand, and help to keep our network running smoothly. They are genuine and personable people, which is also a plus!

My name is Andy and I work for a small law firm as the sole IT mngr. Our company has worked with PGH for almost 2 years now and the service has been excellent. In my opinion, PGH is the model IT company that other IT companies should mimic as far as the nature of everything goes. Keep up the great work PGH!

Our company has worked with PGH Networks for the past 5 years. As we have grown, PGH has been there every step of the way ensuring all IT is in place. From setting up new employees and trainings to installing the tech in our new offices, PGH provides (and excels at) a multitude of services. They also have quick response times, offer excellent suggestions and feedback, "dummy proof" complicated processes, and are genuinely great to work with. We appreciate our partnership with the PGH team and know we are a valued customer. I would highly recommend their services to any company looking for exceptional service for their IT.

I usually don’t write reviews but truthfully the best business decision I’ve made was enlisting the expertise of PGH Networks. We started with them upgrading our phone system in my optometric office making my staff very happy and more efficient. PGH Networks upgraded our server and they are gradually replacing old computers to be more secure and HIPAA compliant. I have found every employee from sales staff to technicians to be very polite, honest and knowledgeable. They are “tech geeks” who realize they work to help ensure their client’s livelihood. The PGH Networks team, on numerous occasions in the past two years have quickly and efficiently intervened when we’ve had difficulties with our wireless internet connections, and networking our diagnostic instruments. They have saved my office from many days of what would have been lost revenues and disgruntled patients. Thank you Derrick, Mike, Dillon, Jeremy, Gabby, Tony and everybody at PGH Networks for helping me succeed, and for relieving this Boomer’s anxiety about keeping up with technology.
