HPE Aruba JW649A 7220DC Mobility Controller Wireless LAN Controller

HPE JW649A is an Aruba 7220DC Controller delivers 40Gbps performance and supports up to 40,000 users, ideal for large enterprise WLAN deployments. Matching on sight is unreliable here. The part number is what determines whether it will work in a given chassis.

What we need from you. The part number alone is often enough, but the equipment it is destined for removes the remaining doubt — particularly where a part was carried across several generations under the same description. Send both and we will confirm before anything is shipped.

How we supply it. Supplied new where available, otherwise as tested stock with warranty, subject to availability. Quote the equipment it is for when you ask and we will verify the fit first. We come back by the next working day.
