2 Product Overview
This section introduces the various Aruba Wireless Access Points, providing a brief overview and summary of the physical features of each model covered by this FIPS 140-2 security policy.
2.1 AP-134
This section introduces the Aruba AP-134 Wireless Access Point (AP) with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validation. It describes the purpose of the AP, its physical attributes, and its interfaces.
The Aruba AP-134 is high-performance 802.11n (3x3:3) MIMO, dual-radio (concurrent 802.11a/n + b/g/n) indoor wireless access points capable of delivering combined wireless data rates of up to 900Mbps. These multi-function access points provide wireless LAN access, air monitoring, and wireless intrusion detection and prevention over the 2.4-2.5GHz and 5GHz RF spectrum. The access points work in conjunction with Aruba Mobility Controllers to deliver high-speed, secure user-centric network services in education, enterprise, finance, government, healthcare, and retail applications
2.1.1 Physical Description
The Aruba AP-134 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 transceivers and supports external antennas through 3 x dual-band (RP-SMA) antenna interfaces for supporting external antennas.
The plastic case physically encloses the complete set of hardware and software components and represents the cryptographic boundary of the module.
