This section introduces the Aruba AP-93 Wireless Access Point (AP) with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validation.
It describes the purpose of the AP, its physical attributes, and its interfaces.
Figure 2 - AP-93 Wireless Access Point
The Aruba AP-93 is robust-performance 802.11n (2x2:2) MIMO, single radio supporting 2.4 GHz or 5
GHz (802.11a/ b/g/n), indoor wireless access points capable of delivering wireless data rates of up to
300Mbps. This multi-function access point provides wireless LAN access, air monitoring, and wireless
intrusion detection and prevention. The access point works in conjunction with Aruba Mobility Controllers
to deliver high-speed, secure user-centric network services in education, enterprise, finance, government,
healthcare, and retail applications.
2.2.1 Physical Description
The Aruba AP-93 series Access Point is a multi-chip standalone cryptographic module consisting of
hardware and software, all contained in a hard plastic case. The module contains 802.11 a/b/g/n transceiver
and 2 integrated omni-directional multi-band dipole antenna elements (supporting up to 2x2 MIMO with
spatial diversity).
