Wireless Access

Hi community,

I want to know how many concurrent client does  AP 130 support For VoIP and Data? The same for AP 105.

Thank you very much

Zak

64 client

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

64 client for VoIP or Data? and for both AP models is 64 clients?

Thank you again

Zak

I think the hardware limit is 256; but by default, there is a max associations set (on the SSID profile) for 64.  This can be changed to suit your needs (not often changed).   Think practically for your data clients, especially if there is also VoIP on the same AP.

For the VoIP clients, you can try using the bandwidth calculator on the controller to give you an idea of concurrent call support:   Configuration --> Bandwidth Calculator.  Input your specific protocols/codecs/etc.

Page 34-35. As  you can see Aruba's AP dies when there is more than 15 iPads on the wifi network.

That is not an accurate statement:  "Aruba APs die with more than 15 iPads on the wifi network".  I would also not put much stock into those results.   Why?  Two reasons come to mind after quickly reading throrugh that link:

- They used Aruba Instant with default configurations.  No controller.  No optimization settings.  Who knows what version of Instant.

- According to the end of that whitepaper, Aruba's APs were one of the only APs not configured by the vendor's SEs; meaning they just opened the box and threw up a network without tuning anything.

There are many real world cases that would easily dispute those findings (in a properly deployed environment).
