Designed for medium-sized businesses, such as medical offices, cafés, restaurants, and boutique hotels, the HPE Networking Instant On AP12 Indoor Access Point supports Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and provides up to 1300 Mb/s on the 5 GHz frequency band. It also supports Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and provides up to 300 Mb/s on the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Equipped with down-tilt, omni-directional internal antennas, this dual-band access point features a Gigabit Ethernet port that supports PoE (Power over Ethernet), ideal for transmitting both data and power over a single cable. There is also a USB host interface for future use. Smart Mesh technology makes it easy to expand the network into hard-to-wire areas.

Multi-user MIMO technology allows the ceiling-mountable access point to handle multiple simultaneous data streams. An integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio allows for location-based and indoor wayfaring applications. With the mobile app or the cloud portal, you can easily manage your Wi-Fi as well as create separate guest and employee networks. Use the included clips to mount the access point to the ceiling rails or to a solid surface, like a wall or ceiling.

Note: The access point does not include a power source.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this be used to provide a low bandwidth ethernet connection when used in a mesh network?

A: No, the Aruba Instant On AP17 Outdoor Access Point cannot be used to provide an Ethernet connection to other devices when used in a mesh network.

Q: 2. It says "Down-tilt Antennas", how does that work then it can be wall, desk or ceiling mounted? Do you set the mounting position via SW? Also, I want to mount it on the basement wall or ceiling, does it do up-tilt?

A: So for this item it would radiate wireless signal in a sphere. So direction of the antennas would not impede speed or distance. Nor would the devices orientation, however placement in structure such as a basement would be limiting its effective range.

Q: 3. Is the power from JL810A PoE port sufficient for the AP22?

A: The JL810A has PoE upstream so it can be powered via PoE, but it does not deliver or pass-through PoE.

Q: 4. Is the JL807A#ABA (24-ports w/PoE++) model rack mountable?

A: The Aruba Instant On 1960 24G 2XGT 24-Port Gigabit PoE++ Compliant Managed Network Switch with SFP+ would be compatible with a 1RU rack space.

Q: 5. Can this be powered by DC plug or POE only?

A: The Aruba Instant On AP17 Outdoor Access Point is POE only. 802.3af PoE, 13.5W Max

Q: 6. what's the range line of sight?

A: Regarding the TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor Wireless AC1200 Gigabit Indoor/Outdoor Access Point, the maximum range, assuming you have line of sight, is 200m (656 feet) in 2.4 GHz and 300m (984 feet) in 5 GHz.

Q: 7. What's the point of an AP that supports wifi 6 and 1.7 gps throughput, if the uplink to the AP only supports 1 gbps?

A: This would be from one AP to another.

Q: 8. Does the switch include rack-mounting hardware?

A: The Aruba Instant On 1960 12XGT 12-Port 10G Managed Network Switch with SFP+ does include the mounting hardware.

Q: 9. If I buy two of these will they work point to point or bridge?

A: No, it will not work point to point because this an access point not radio.

Q: 10. Does this require an Aruba account and/or cloud-based management? I need to set up an air-gapped network and all network management/configuration needs to happen locally. This would be attached via a 1Gbps port on an existing managed router.

A: Yes, the Aruba Instant On AP22 Dual-Band Access Point with 12V Power Adapter require an Aruba account for setup. A local connection can suffice as well. More information can be found at https://www.arubainstanton.com/techdocs/en/content/get-started/application-login.htm
