2.2 AP-135

This section introduces the Aruba AP-135 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-135 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

2.2.1 Physical Description

The Aruba AP-135 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 3 integrated omni-directional multi-band dipole antenna elements (supporting up to 3x3 MIMO with spatial diversity).

The plastic case physically encloses the complete set of hardware and software components and represents the cryptographic boundary of the module.

The Access Point configuration tested during the cryptographic module testing included:
