Instant APs offer an enterprise-grade networking solution with a simple setup. The WLAN solution with Instant APs supports simplified deployment, configuration, and management of Wi-Fi networks.

Instant APs run the Aruba Instant software that virtualizes Aruba Mobility Controller capabilities on 802.11 APs and offers a feature-rich enterprise-grade Wi-Fi solution. Instant APs are often deployed as a cluster. An Instant AP cluster includes a conductor AP and set of other APs that act as member APs.

In an Instant deployment scenario, only the first AP or the conductor AP that is connected to a provisioning network is configured. All other Instant APs in the same VLAN join the conductor AP inherit the configuration changes. The Instant AP clusters are configured through a common interface called Virtual Controller. A Virtual Controller represents the combined intelligence of the Instant APs in a cluster.
