In an increasingly modern era like today, the need for the internet is indeed growing. We can see this in the importance of using an access point in connectivity that is able to provide internet access to your WiFi device. Now, this time we will discuss Aruba devices, especially the access point products, which can provide various innovations and sophistication on the devices. Let’s look at the following outdoor access point products from Aruba.

Outdoor Access Points
What is this outdoor access point itself? Maybe many people don’t know what’s the difference between an outdoor access point and an indoor access point. Actually, these two devices have almost the same function, namely as a device that can transmit a WiFi signal to be able to connect various devices in a local network.
An outdoor access points is a WiFi device that can be installed in an open and wide area to be able to spread a WiFi signal with a wide range.
Access Point function
Function This access point has the main function as an internet signal spreader. And also this access point function relates to more complex network connectivity settings, without further ado, let’s look at the following access point functions:
- The AP can manage access to a device based on a unique identity, namely the MAC address that each device has on its Network card.
- The AP can also manage the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which is a DHCP server capable of assigning IP addresses to each connected device.
- Can replace the hub function with a local network by WiFi or cable.
- Has WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) security features. This feature is a WiFi network security feature with key matching authentication on the client to the access point. While this WAP is security that is made to complement WEP by adding decryption.
How Access Points Work
An access point that is connected to a wired local area network is called Ethernet. This access point then provides a wireless connection that can use wireless LAN technology, which usually uses WiFi, while other devices use wired connections. Access point that supports the connection of multiple WiFi devices using a single cable.
The access point works when a device tries to open the network. Usually on the smartphone screen an appearance will appear containing a request to enter a password. Then the access point will adjust so that these devices can open together by checking whether the password entered on the access point is correct or not.
If the password entered is correct, it will provide an IP address to the device so that it can open to the network. The access point provides a connection on the RF (Radio Frequency) signal data path formed by the wifi along with the electrical data path on the ethernet cable.
Access Point Type
To be able to distinguish outdoor access points from various other types of access points, you can read the types of access points below:
Access Point Mode (AP Mode)
Access point mode or AP mode is a device that functions to channel a wired connection to a WiFi network. Which in this device is very similar to the switch which is located behind the router. This type of AP is usually placed in areas where there are many wired network connections.
Repeater Mode
This repeater mode is a mode where the access point can add WiFi signal coverage with the same SSID and security. This tool is usually placed in a place where the WiFi signal is less evenly distributed. This repeater mode can only use one SSID which allows it to be accessed in all areas.
Bridge Mode
This bridge mode is a type of access point that is capable of creating two individual networks on one internet for two groups. This bridge mode can use a WiFi network and share it using the SSID with the same password as well. This bridge mode can reach crowded places such as restaurants, schools, offices, to homes that provide internet services without having to use passwords again.
Client Mode
Client mode is usually used on smart TVs, media players, PCs, to game consoles that have an ethernet port on their devices.
