C-230

Arista C-230 is an enterprise-grade, 6 stream Wi-Fi 6 AP with dual concurrent 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz band radios supporting 4 stream 802.11 a/n/ac/ax, 2 stream 802.11 b/g/n/ax and data rates of up to 4.8 Gbps and 0.6 Gbps, respectively. It also has a 2.4GHz Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio. C-230 provides Gen 2 Wi-Fi 6 performance improvements to deliver higher capacity and more efficient use of the available spectrum. It provides industry leading user experience and throughput in high density environments. Uplink/ Downlink OFDMA channelization allocates bandwidth more efficiently across client devices to provide a better user experience. The ability to serve multiple clients simultaneously through UL/DL MU-MIMO further improves system capacity and user experience. C-230 is ideal for critical, high-density networks serving a high volume of diverse clients and applications. Common deployment scenarios include large schools, large remote offices, auditoriums, meeting rooms, and enterprise campuses.
