The Aruba AP-274 and AP-275 are environmentally hardened, outdoor rated, dual-radio IEEE 802.11ac
wireless access points. These access points use MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and other
high-throughput mode techniques to deliver high-performance, 802.11ac 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz functionality
while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g/n wireless services. The AP-270 Series access point
works only in conjunction with an Aruba Controller.
