Aruba 203H Access Point

Aruba 203H Access Point

This compact access point ensures the most cost-effective Wi-Fi connectivity for indoor premises including hotel rooms, dormitories, small offices and remote workstations. It’s software configurable to operate in either 1x1 dual radio mode, or 2x2 single radio mode.

Powered by PoE, it minimizes power consumption with rich features that further facilitates a highly efficient and reliable wireless network, and combines wireless and wired access in a single compact device.

This AP can be easily mounted to a standard data wall-box using the existing structured cabling system or converted to a desk mounted AP using an optional mounting kit.
