Connectivity and compatibility

This antenna is compatible with select Aruba access points that support RP-SMA connections, allowing straightforward integration into existing Aruba wireless networks. The four RP-SMA male connectors provide direct connection to the access point radios, eliminating the need for additional adapters or complex cabling. Its tri-band capability ensures compatibility with a wide range of client devices, from older Wi-Fi standards to the latest 6 GHz-enabled equipment.

Installation and setup

Installation is designed to be simple and efficient. The antenna housing fits neatly into a standard ceiling tile, making it ideal for office and commercial environments where maintaining a uniform ceiling line is important. The attached plenum-rated cables meet building safety standards for air handling spaces, and their length provides flexibility in positioning the access point. This setup reduces installation time and complexity, helping facilities teams maintain a clean and professional look.

Ideal uses and environments

The Aruba S1F82A excels in high-density areas where many devices connect simultaneously, such as lecture halls, conference rooms, and busy retail floors. Its tri-band support allows networks to accommodate a mix of older and newer devices without sacrificing performance. Facilities that require discreet, ceiling-mounted solutions will appreciate its low-profile design and durable construction, which supports long-term deployments in commercial and institutional settings.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
