The Aruba AP-124 and AP -125 are high-performance 802.11n (3x3) MIMO, dual-radio (concurrent 802.11a/n + b/g/n) indoor wireless access points capable of delivering combined wireless data rates of up to 600Mbps. 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-120 series Access Point is a multi-chip standalone cryptographic module consisting of hardware and firmware, all contained in a hard plastic case. The module contains IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n transceivers, and up to 3 integrated or external omni-directional multi-band dipole antenna elements may be attached to the module.
The plastic case physically encloses the complete set of hardware and firmware components and represents the cryptographic boundary of the module.
The Access Point configuration tested during the cryptographic module testing included:
