    Short answer is no.

    Longer answer is also no. AP-225 is campus AP that require a Mobility Controller to operate. If you would have IAP-225, then you could use it standalone. 

    There is more info on topic of campus vs Instant APs in Airheads Wireless community.

    ok, the exact model ( written under the AP ) is: APIN0225, so is that what we are talking about ?

    What would be the cheapest Mobility Controller to operate?

    if I had a network with several ap  IAP-225, could I have a cloud control?

    Hi Grenzo.

    You will have part no, depend on the country, like JW174A for campus AP (Rest of the World) and JW240A for Instant AP (RW).

    Also model will be AP-225 for campus and IAP-225 for Instant.

    The cheapest controller would be 7005 if you can get a refurbished one. This is up to 16 APs. And you also need licenses for each AP you would connect to the controller.

    If you have IAP model, then you don't need a controller. One of the APs will become Virtual Controller for Instant cluster. The drawback for such old platform is version of FW you can run on it.

    Here is the list of supported APs for Aruba Central cloud solution. You need Aruba Central subscription for every AP using it.

    Hi Gorazd

    So with a 7005 type controller can it manage all the AP-225 connected in the network?
    For the updates, does the 7000 type controller then distribute them to all the AP-225s?

    For the cloud, is there any cheaper software than Aruba Central? Even with less features...

    Best, Grenzo

    In the list of the link you gave me there are only IAPs, doesn't Aruba Central support AP-225?

    Go to Profila / My Account / Email settings and set your notification preferences.

    Aruba Central support only Instant and Universal APs. There is no other cheaper cloud solution. 

    For campus APs you need to have a controller. And Airheads Wireless community is much better place for those questions.

    7005 controller can support up to 16 APs. If you have more, then you need to go to for example 7010 or higher or even on 72xx series for more than 64 APs.

    All APs managed by controller get their FW from the controller. You can treat this configuration as a single entity. When you update the controller, all APs receive new FW from it during upgrade procedure. If you add new AP to existing configuration, it will receive FW and configuration from the controller.

    Best, Gorazd
