Aruba recommends using dedicated Air Monitors for deployments of latency sensitive applications
such as voice and video. Typically, one Air Monitor can provide security to the area served by up to four
Access Points.
Mesh Portal or Mesh Point
In the Mesh Portal or Mesh Point role, the AP is taking part in Aruba’s secure enterprise mesh network.
This network is based around a single AP (the Mesh Portal) with a wired network connection, and one
or more Mesh Point APs performing wireless backhaul or bridging of network traffic.
When used with dual radio APs, the mesh devices can provide client access on one radio and backhaul
on the second. User traffic is authenticated and protected by the same centralized encryption method
as wired APs, while Control traffic is protected by WPA2 authentication and encryption.
