These compact non-MIMO APs deliver wire-like performance at data rates up to 150 Mbps.

The AP-68 is ideal for environments that require a wireless LAN with enterprise-class security and reliability, but do not need to support high densities of Wi-Fi clients or extended range. These APs are ideal for organizations that are transitioning from wired to Wi-Fi, and those that are upgrading from 802.11b/g to 802.11n.

The AP-68 features one 2.4-GHz radio with nominal 100-milliwatt transmit power and two internal antennas while the AP-68P* features one 2.4-GHz radio with higher 500-milliwatt transmit power and an external antenna connector.

The multifunction AP-68 and AP-68P* can be configured through the Aruba Mobility Controller to provide wireless LAN access with part-time air monitoring, dedicated air monitoring for wireless IPS, Remote AP (RAP) functionality or secure enterprise mesh. The AP-68 and AP-68P* each feature a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet interface and can operate from standard 802.3af power-over- Ethernet (PoE) sources or a 12-volt DC power supply.
