Delivering integrated mobility, security and convergence services for both wired and wireless users the Aruba 800 mobility controller is a full-featured wireless LAN mobility controller designed for small/branch offices.

The Aruba 800 can be easily deployed to aggregate up to 16 controlled Access Points (APs) as an overlay without any disruption to the existing branch office network and be centrally managed from the corporate headquarters or data center using the Aruba Mobility Management System to deliver centralized control and security for wireless deployments.

The Aruba 800 can be deployed as an identity-based security gateway to authenticate wired and wireless users, enforce role-based access control policies and quarantine unsafe endpoints from accessing the corporate network.

In addition, guest users can be easily and safely supported with the built-in captive portal server and advanced network services, such as EAP offload and DHCP server, allowing branch office network operations to continue uninterrupted even when the WAN link fails. These features allow the Aruba 800 to create a secure branch office environment without requiring additional VPN/firewall devices including integrated site-to-site VPN, split-tunneling, ICSA-compliant stateful firewall and NAT capabilities. Site-to-site VPN can be integrated with all leading VPN concentrators to provide seamless integration into existing corporate VPNs.

And advanced convergence features such as Call Admission Control (CAC), voice-aware RF management and strict over-the-air QoS allow the Aruba 800 to deliver mobile VoIP capabilities.
