Ellie Huang, Sr. Product Marketing Manager
November, 2016

3. Moving from 11n/Wave 1 to Wave 2
Highlights:
Moving from 11n/Wave 1 to Wave 2
Wave 2 APs represent 37% of Aruba’s total deployment
Leading with the Wave 2 AP-310 Series across verticals – fast adoption rate
Meet customer needs with the variety of Wave 2 APs
- based on Dell Oro’s market trend, Wave 2 deployment in 2016 is about 25% of the total deployment
- Aruba’s Wave 2 AP sale unit represents 37% of the total sale --- we are moving much faster than the market to Wave 2 adoption.
- By 2018, we expect the market adoption for Wave 2 will reach 100%. Aruba will be the leader driving this.

Aggressive pricing, simple transition from 11n (AP-105), 2x2:2SS
Flagship: 220 Series  highest performance & density
High-density (up to 125 active devices per AP) and highest performance while also providing redundant GigE uplinks.
Premium platform, best in the business
Mid range: 210 Series  high performance & moderate density
High performance but willing to sacrifice on density of users (up to 75 active devices per AP) and forgo redundant GigE uplinks for cost savings. Full performance on 802.3af.

Same size as 205 series:150mm(W) x 150mm(D) x 40mm(H)
Expect to see 205 going away, when 207 catches up – for particular deployment in lower density and cost sensitive environment ( dorm, APJ)
AP207 doesn’t have the H model ( wall jack) yet. Expect to come soon.
Extended upper temperature (50C vs. 40C for 205)
The 207 CPU is weaker in de-tunnel, bridge and IAP modes. Performance will be worse on the 207 in those modes
