Description

Aesthetic Design and High Performance

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 Capabilities

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. Arista CloudVision® Managed Wi-Fi The C-230 is an Arista CloudVision Wi-Fi managed platform. Available as a cloud service or on prem management platform,  CloudVision Wi-Fi leverages a purpose built cloud architecture delivering cloud grade analytics and automation to enterprise Wi-Fi networks. CloudVision ensures high reliability, scalability, security and cost effectiveness. Versatile, multipurpose 3rd Radio C-230 comes with a versatile multipurpose 2×2:2 dual band 802.11ac third radio that provides:

• Industry leading, continuous WIPS
• Better RRM decisions from continuous spectral visibility
• Network availability and performance assurance by On-demand and scheduled client connectivity test

Access

C-230 provides Wi-Fi networks that require less time and resources to deploy and maintain compared to traditional devices, resulting in
significant cost savings.

• Plug and play provisioning using either Cloud or On-premise deployments – Arista Access Points take less than two minutes to activate and configure after connecting to the cloud
• Support for up to eight individual SSIDs per radio providing maximum flexibility in network design
• Network controls like NAT, Firewall and QoS implemented at the Access Point, ensuring faster and more reliable networks
• Continuous scanning of all 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels by a dedicated 2×2 third radio provides a dynamic, 360-degree view of the RF environment to assist in RF optimization and client handling
• Network availability and performance assurance using the third radio as a client to conduct on-demand and scheduled connectivity and performance tests
• Smart steering addresses sticky client issues by automatically pushing clients with low data rates to a better access point
• Band steering manages channel occupancy, pushing clients to the 5 GHz channel for optimal throughput
• Smart load balancing distributes load evenly across neighbouring APs to optimize the use of network resources
• Arista Wi-Fi’s distributed control plane architecture continues to serve users and secure the network even if connection with the management plane is interrupted
• Interference avoidance from LTE/3G small/macro cells/CBRS in commonly used TDD/FDD frequency bands

Security

C-230 offers complete visibility and control of the wireless airspace ensuring network integrity while actively protecting users without
manual intervention.

• C-230 is equipped with industry leading fully integrated wireless intrusion prevention capabilities
• Multifunction third radio provides uninterrupted spectrum scanning or client emulation for always on security coverage alongside dedicated 2.4G/5G client radios
• Arista’s patented Marker PacketsTM help accurately detect rogue access points on any network while minimizing false positives
• Third radio used as a dedicated security sensor for 24x7x365 scanning and automated over-the-air (OTA) prevention
• Deterministic rogue AP detection and prevention by monitoring all WiFi and non-WiFi VLANs
• Over-the-air and on-the-wire prevention techniques assure automatic and reliable threat prevention to keep unauthorized clients and rogue APs off the network without impacting authorized connections
• Access Points autonomously scan for wireless threats and enforce security policy even if disconnected from the cloud management plane
• VLAN monitoring enables a virtual connection to non-WiFi networks for complete network rogue detection and prevention

Analytics

• The C-230 collects telemetry on connected and unconnected WiFi clients and supports immersive guest network experiences that help Arista’s customers develop and reinforce the relationship with their end customers
• Reports of customer footfall, demographic, loyalty and other analytics provide insightful and actionable information
• Supports proximity marketing programs that trigger when certain devices are present, which includes automatic messaging vis MMS in-browser notifications and real time notifications sent to 3rd party systems that alert to the presence of enrolled devices
