Aruba AP-203RP 802.11ac Dual-Band PoE Wireless Access Point (2×2 802.11ac)

The HPE Aruba AP-203RP (JY720A) is a compact and versatile wall-box or desktop Wireless Access Point  that brings fast, secure 802.11ac Wi-Fi connectivity to branch or home office deployments. With flexible-radio architecture, it can operate in high-speed single-radio 2×2 mode or dual-radio 1×1 mode, delivering up to 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and up to 400 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band depending on configuration. Ideal for environments requiring secure remote access or controllerless (InstantOS) deployment, the AP-203RPalso includes built-in BLE for location-based services and Aruba Beacons, plus Adaptive Radio Management (ARM), RF intrusion protection, and AppRF visibility for application-level control. Whether working as a standalone Instant AP, part of a controller-managed network, or in Remote AP (RAP) mode with site-to-site VPN, this device delivers enterprise-grade WLAN with flexibility and simplicity

Features

The Aruba AP-203RP brings enterprise-class WLAN capabilities to small or remote locations with a compact and elegant design. Software-configurable radios allow the AP to adapt to your needs—maximizing throughput with 2×2 single-radio operation (867 Mbps @ 5 GHz; 400 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz), or conserving spectrum with dual-radio 1×1 mode when needed . It supports both controller-based (Aruba ) and controllerless (InstantOS) deployment modes and can function as a Remote AP (RAP) with secure VPN tunnels for safe access to enterprise resources . Built-in BLE simplifies location services and management of Aruba Beacon deployments, while features like ARM optimize channel selection, airtime fairness, and interference avoidance. Security is enhanced with embedded RF intrusion protection, IP reputation services, and the integrated TPM for secure credential storage. AppRF provides granular application visibility and control, and QoS ensures consistent experience for unified communications applications such as Skype for Business 

Advanced Options

The Aruba AP-203RP was engineered for both performance and reliability in remote or branch environments. Its flexible-radio design allows administrators to optimize speed or coverage based on client needs and RF conditions. Whether deployed in 2×2 single-radio mode for maximum throughput or 1×1 dual-radio mode for channel efficiency, it delivers solid bandwidth appropriate for typical branch workloads
