Aruba 7005 (JW633A) Mobility Controller
The Aruba 7005 Mobility Controller, model JW633A, is a compact, fanless, and PoE-powered networking device designed for entry-level and midsize branch deployments. It centralizes control for Aruba access points (APs), enhancing WLAN performance, security, and client roaming. Supporting up to 16 APs and 1,024 concurrent clients, this switch delivers robust policy enforcement, high availability, and seamless integration with Aruba’s ClearPass and Mobility Master solutions.
Key Features
- Compact, fanless design with 4 x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) support – can be powered via PoE switch
- Supports up to 16 Aruba APs and 1,024 concurrent users
- Integrated with Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) and Dynamic Segmentation
- Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for simplified deployment
- Wi-Fi 6 ready with ClientMatch technology
Core Technologies
The JW633A leverages ArubaOS with AI-driven RF optimization, including Adaptive Radio Management (ARM), ClientMatch, and AirMatch. It supports GRE tunneling, IPsec VPN, WPA3 encryption, and application visibility via Deep Packet Inspection (DPI). Integration with Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business ensures prioritized traffic and enhanced UC performance.
How It Works
The 7005 controller acts as a centralized brain for Aruba APs. All user traffic is tunneled via GRE to the controller where firewall policies, user roles, and application rules are enforced. It uses AI to optimize RF conditions, manage client load balancing, and ensure seamless roaming across the network.
Typical Applications
Ideal for small to midsize branches, retail stores, remote offices, and educational campuses. Commonly deployed as part of a unified wired and wireless access solution, often alongside Aruba APs and ClearPass for secure, role-based network access.
