Instant On IAP-105-US wireless access point
This HPE Instant On IAP-105-US access point delivers 300Mbps per radio across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands using IEEE 802.11n technology. It supports up to 16 APs managed by a single Virtual Controller for small business or distributed deployments. The unit includes one 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port and a console interface for local configuration. Integrated omni-directional antennas provide 2x2 MIMO with spatial diversity for reliable coverage.
Sustained load behaviour
Under continuous operation the AP draws a maximum of 12.5 watts and operates within 0°C to 50°C ambient temperature with 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity. Transmit power is configurable in 0.5 dBm increments up to 23 dBm per band, limited by local regulatory requirements. Maximum ratio combining improves receiver performance during extended high-density client sessions. The device is powered via 802.3af PoE or an optional 12 V DC adapter.
Pre-installation checks
Verify that your network infrastructure can supply 802.3af Power over Ethernet at 48 V DC or plan for a separate 12 V DC power adapter which is sold separately. Confirm the mounting surface suits the molded tabs for 15/16 inch T-bar ceiling grids or the slotted tabs for screw mounting to walls or flat surfaces. Ensure the single Gigabit Ethernet uplink meets your backhaul bandwidth expectations. The console port uses an RJ-45 connector for initial setup if required.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the IAP-105-US generate when running continuously at its 12.5 watt maximum power draw?
At 12.5 watts maximum consumption the access point produces modest heat and operates silently with no fan; it is rated for 0 °C to 50 °C ambient temperature.
Which PoE standard or external adapter must I already have to power the IAP-105-US?
The unit requires 802.3af Power over Ethernet delivering 48 V DC, or a separate 12 V DC external AC adapter that is not included.
Will the IAP-105-US work alongside my older 802.11b/g clients on the 2.4 GHz band?
Yes, its 2.4 GHz radio supports 802.11b and 802.11g modulation (DSSS and OFDM) so legacy clients can associate at their native rates.
