Overall Satisfaction with Aruba Instant On AP Series Access Points

We are using Aruba Instant On AP Series Access Points to let our users in the head office connect their laptop devices and mobile phones through WiFi. Around 120 to 150 users--so, around 200 devices--connect to our network through Aruba Instant On AP Series Access Points. We are using this, as our workforce is not 100% working from their desks, and they are each given a laptop and mobile phone; hence WiFi is the best convenient method to connect when they are back in the office.
  • Controllerless solution
  • Users connect to different APs seamlessly (soft handoff) when moving from one region to another
  • Stable--we have never faced any downtime with any APs
  • Different SSID to segregate internal and guest networks

Aruba Instant On AP Series Access Points are well suited for a small to mid-size setup (i.e., from 20 users to 500 devices that need to connect to WiFi). Aruba provides access points for both indoors and outdoors (e.g., commercial spaces and offices, and manufacturing units as well). Aruba Instant On AP Series Access Points can also support controller-based architecture, and I would recommend going for that when the AP devices are more than 30.
