The Aruba Networks™ S2500 Mobility Access Switch is a new class of product that brings user role-based access to wired networks.
Like other Mobility Access Switches, the S2500 is an integral part of the Aruba Mobile Virtual Enterprise (MOVE) architecture, which delivers secure virtualized access services to users, independent of their location, access method, device or application.
The S2500 is available in four models with 24 or 48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and four fixed Gigabit Ethernet/10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is available with up to 30 watts per port based on the IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+ standards.
This provides network connectivity for Ethernet devices such as virtual desktops, IP phones, videophones, classroom peripherals, medical devices, point-of-sale devices and security cameras as well as any 802.11n Wi-Fi access point (AP).
The S2500 Mobility Access Switch features a very compact form factor and quiet operation, which makes it ideal for deploying in branch offices and small offices.
