The solution can be used from home or any remote office to access office resources like printers and servers
With Aruba Remote Access Points, I can create my own private office. I don't have to go to the office to have my extension and all the resources that I have in the office. I can use the solution from my home or any remote office to access printers, servers, etc. I can use Aruba Remote Access Points by plugging the internet cable into it. Remote Access Points (RAP) is not one particular model. All Aruba access points can be an RAP because the access points or the unified access points can be converted to an RAP. It can be a controller-based solution or without a controller. So, any access point can act as a RAP. Aruba Remote Access Points is an out-of-the-box solution.
