Wireless Access

Bit confused about this as this version of code hasnt been released yet?

We're looking to buy more access points and my account manager pointed out the AP-105 is going end of sale in the near future.

We're about to buy some AP-205s but I'm told the release in the UK is not until 1st June? or am I wrong?

Is the code version requirement in the AP-205 release notes wrong?

my understanding from our local SE is 6.4.1 will be out in july and instant about a month later for the 205. you may have to deploy with beta firmware, i had to do this with our first 225 customer as 6.3 didn't get GA'd until about a month later.

6.4.1 is indeed required for the AP-20x.

The target release date is end of may / early June as Early Deployment.

So basically I cant roll out any 205s until 6.4.1. is released.

What firmware will the 205s ship with then?

The AP-205 is not shipping just yet.  6.4.1 will be available when the product begins shipping.  

So even if we buy it now which is avaialble on the online quote tool it wont be shipping until the end of may?

Correct........the 205 is orderable today.  We do not ship with BETA code hence the two weeks before shipping begins.

you know if the 103h will be also be shipping for 6.4.1.0??

I prepare a BOM which I use 3200XM as the controller and AP-205 as the AP. Anyone knows if 3200 supports 6.4.1.0? Thanks.

yes it does, but you might want to have a look at the new Aruba 7000- series: http://www.arubanetworks.com/products/mobility-controllers/7000-series/

The nextgen  7010 is pretty much a direct replacement for the 3200xm controller.

The 3200XM will run 6.4; however, there are features in 6.4 that are not available on the 3200.  The 7000 series is new HW and fully supports all reatures of 6.4.
