  • 1.  Aruba solution to replace Cisco Mobility Express

    Posted Oct 04, 2022 07:13 AM
    Hi guys,
    I am a Cisco user and new to Aruba.
    I work for a small business with limited budget. Currently, we have 8 cisco AP running Mobility Express.
    These AP worked for 6 years and need a replacement. New 9100 series are beyond our budget, making us turn to other brands. 

    I have no idea if Aruba has similar controllerless solution to Cisco Mobility Express. 
    If there is, Do we need to pay license fees? What models of AP can support this solution?

    Aruba Instant.  No fees, managed locally.  All access points Aruba/HPE sells supports the Instant functionality by default out the box.  

    - Purchase an access point
    - Configure it
    - Purchase more for additional coverage and just add them to the first.
