Product Description
The JW255A is the Aruba Instant IAP-275 outdoor wireless access point, designed for enterprise outdoor deployments requiring reliable, high-performance Wi-Fi without needing a dedicated controller.
Part of Aruba’s 270-Series, this model supports dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi with 3×3 MIMO radios and integrated omni-directional antennas, delivering combined wireless speeds of up to ~1.3 Gbps.
Unlike controller-based APs, the JW255A runs Aruba Instant software, enabling controller-less deployment, clustering, mesh networking, and centralized management directly from the AP itself — ideal for distributed or campus outdoor environments.
Its rugged IP66/IP67-rated enclosure allows operation in harsh weather conditions such as dust, rain, humidity, and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for outdoor campuses, industrial sites, and public Wi-Fi zones.
