SUNNYVALE, CA -- 06/22/09 --
Aruba Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARUN), a global
leader in wireless LANs and secure mobility solutions, today announced its
decoratively-styled AP-65WB Wall Box Access Point that mounts flush to the
wall. Once installed, the AP-65WB has the appearance of a standard
electrical wall plate with no protruding antennas -- hidden planar antennas
are integrated inside of the protective cover plate -- or other outward
sign of the unit's function. The unobtrusive appearance and
vandal-resistant design of the AP-65WB make it ideal for use in hotel
rooms, conference facilities, hospitals, dormitories, public buildings, or
any location in which aesthetics and/or maintenance costs are important.
Like all Aruba indoor access points the AP-65WB is covered by a limited
lifetime warranty, and when downloaded with suitable software it can be
used as an access point, wireless intrusion detection sensor, resilient
mesh point, or remote access point.
One typical application is the hospitality market. The aesthetics of guest
rooms and facilities are important because they make a statement about
quality. The launch customer for the AP-65WB is a resort chain that needed
robust wireless connectivity throughout its guest rooms but wanted the
décor to match that of an upscale living room. The AP-65WB was selected
specifically because it did not look like an access point. Since the
AP-65WB is installed in the same electrical box in which the Ethernet cable
is terminated, the access point is completely unobtrusive. Polarized
antennas provide ideal wireless coverage when the AP-65WB is mounted low to
the floor, while for ceiling height applications the unit can be rotated
180 degrees to provide downward coverage. Guests receive reliable wireless
coverage and IT support costs are held in check because the
vandal-resistant package is easy to install and highly reliable.
The AP-65WB measures 115mm H x 115mm W x 84mm D (4.53" x 4.53" x 3.29"),
and weighs just 0.2kg (7.2oz). Designed to be mounted directly into a
double gang electrical box using standard or security screws, the AP-65WB
can also be mounted to select 4 11/16" square boxes using the included
adapter plate. The Wi-Fi Certified access point uses power-over-Ethernet
exclusively to eliminate the need for a local power supply.
To optimize Wi-Fi performance, the AP-65WB supports Aruba's Adaptive Radio
Management (ARM) technology. ARM lowers deployment and maintenance costs by
automating site surveys and using infrastructure-based controls to enhance
the performance of Wi-Fi clients in real-time. Acting on their own, Wi-Fi
clients do not always work cooperatively with other clients, or select the
optimal band, channel, and access point. These issues are exacerbated in
settings with densely packed users. ARM uses a variety of techniques to
control how Wi-Fi clients interact, thereby ensuring that data, voice, and
video applications have sufficient network resources, including airtime, to
operate properly.
"The AP-65WB fills a void in the market for a high-performance, Wi-Fi
Certified access point that completely blends in with its surroundings,"
said Aruba product manager Onno Harms. "Since many customers already
terminate Ethernet cables in an electrical box, it offers a convenient
mounting platform for existing sites and can be readily pre-installed in
new construction. The AP-65WB's internal antennas were designed with a
coverage pattern ideal for near-floor mounting, say in a hotel room, or
near-ceiling mounting in a conference room or public space. The low profile
and lack of external antennas make the AP-65WB less prone to vandalism,
especially when mounted using security screws, reducing on-going
maintenance costs."
The AP-65WB is shipping now. Additional information can be found on Aruba's
