HPE JW736A - Aruba 7205 Mobility Controller
Overview
The HPE JW736A is a compact yet capable mobility controller built for campus and enterprise branch Wi-Fi deployments where a dedicated controller is required for managing access points, enforcing policy and aggregating traffic. It features dual 10 Gb SFP+ uplinks alongside four dual-media 1 Gb ports, offering flexibility for fiber or copper connections. The 7205 controller supports integration with the broader Aruba access-point ecosystem (both wired/wireless), making it suitable for environments such as mid-sized campuses, large branch offices, or hospitality/lodging sites. It pairs neatly with ArubaOS and AirWave/Air Enablement architectures, giving you full network control, segmentation and AP lifecycle management.
Key Features
Two dedicated 10 Gb SFP+ uplinks for high-bandwidth aggregation or fiber transport to core switch fabric.
Four dual-media ports (each supports either 1 Gb copper RJ-45 or 1 Gb fiber SFP) for flexible connectivity.
Supports up to 256 connected APs and up to 8,192 clients (device counts per specs of 7205 platform) × ideal for dense Wi-Fi scenarios
Rackable 1U form factor with optimized dimensions (~1.75″ height × 17.38″ width × 13.13″ depth) and weight approx 4.95 kg/10.19 lbs.
