We (Denison University) have been using Aruba AP277s for point to point bridging.
For anyone familiar with Aruba Mesh we set them up as portal - point configurations. I have also been able to setup point to multipoint connections this way. There were some initial setup hurtles but once we got by these they have been very stable and have performed well.
