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.
