Product Review

The Aruba AP-205 features dual radio capabilities supporting both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with 2x2 MIMO technology, offering up to 867 Mbps data rates for efficient and fast wireless connectivity. However, its maximum power consumption of 12.5 watts (PoE) could be a drawback for environments aiming for lower energy use. Additionally, the AP supports up to 256 associated client devices per radio and up to 16 BSSIDs per radio, making it scalable for growing network demands, but its performance in high-density environments may be limited compared to more advanced models.

Overview

The Aruba AP-205 is an indoor, dual-radio access point that supports both 5-GHz 802.11ac and 2.4-GHz 802.11n standards, offering a versatile solution for businesses seeking to enhance their wireless network infrastructure. This access point is equipped with 2x2 MIMO technology, allowing for two spatial streams and delivering wireless data rates of up to 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. The AP-205 integrates four omni-directional downtilt antennas per radio, optimizing coverage and performance in a variety of deployment scenarios. Key features of the AP-205 include software-configurable dual radios that support both the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequencies, ensuring adaptable performance for a wide range of wireless devices. It can support up to 256 associated client devices per radio, with the capability to handle up to 16 BSSIDs per radio, making it a scalable solution for growing businesses. Regulatory domain dictates the available channels, with transmit power adjustable in 0.5 dBm increments, providing flexibility in network design and deployment. The AP-205 employs advanced technologies such as short guard interval for 20-MHz, 40-MHz, and 80-MHz channels, and transmit beamforming (TxBF) for improved signal reliability and network efficiency. Its hardware features include a DC power interface, a Kensington security slot for physical security, a factory reset button, and a serial console interface for management and setup. Power consumption is optimized for efficiency, with a maximum of 12.5 watts when powered over Ethernet (PoE) and 11.7 watts via DC. Idle mode further reduces power usage to 8.4 watts with PoE and 7.7 watts with DC, highlighting its energy-efficient design. The AP-205 is compatible with 802.3af-compliant PoE sources, and can also be powered directly via a 12 Vdc nominal source.
