ARUBA 300 SERIES
ACCESS POINTS
Entry-level 802.11ac Wave 2 Access Points
The entry-level Aruba 300 Series Wave 2 access
points deliver high performance and superb user
experience for medium density environments.
Featuring 3x3:3SS MU-MIMO capability, Aruba
advanced ClientMatch radio management, and
integrated Aruba Beacons, the 300 Series enables
an all wireless digital work environment in a costefective manner.
With a maximum concurrent data rate of 1,300 Mbps in
the 5GHz band and 400 Mbps in the 2.4GHz band (for an
aggregate peak data rate of 1.7Gbps), the entry-level 300
Series brings an always-on wireless network experience with
the performance required for enterprises. It is ideal for costsensitive medium density environments across verticals.
mobility context to develop applications that will deliver an
enhanced user experience and increase the value of the
wireless network for organizations.
UNIQUE BENEFITS
• Dual Radio 802.11ac Access Point with Multi-User MIMO
- Supports up to 1,300 Mbps in the 5GHz band (with
The high performance 802.11ac 300 Series supports multi-
3SS/VHT80 clients) and up to 400 Mbps in the 2.4GHz
user MIMO (MU-MIMO) and 3 spatial streams (3SS). It
band (with 2SS/VHT40 clients).
provides simultaneous data transmission to multiple devices
(up to two), maximizing data throughput and improving
network eiciency.
The 300 Series includes the enhanced ClientMatch
technology that extends the client steering technology
with MU-MIMO client awareness. It automatically identiies
MU-MIMO capable mobile devices and steers those devices
to the closest MU-MIMO capable Aruba access point. By
grouping MU-MIMO capable mobile devices together,
the network starts taking advantage of the simultaneous
transmission to these devices, increasing its overall capacity.
These dynamic roaming policies that are based on device
types, help customers achieve the best WLAN performance
in a mixed device environment during the technology
transition period.
The 300 Series also has an integrated Bluetooth Aruba Beacon
that simpliies the remote management of a network of large-
• Built-in Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) radio
- Enables location-based services with BLE-enabled
mobile devices receiving signals from multiple Aruba
Beacons at the same time.
- Enables management of your deployment of batterypowered Aruba Beacons.
• Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
- Minimizes interference from 3G/4G cellular networks,
distributed antenna systems and commercial small
cell/femtocell equipment. Quality of service for uniied
communication apps.
• Quality of service for Uniied Communication apps
- Supports priority handling and policy enforcement for
uniied communication apps, including Microsoft Skype
for Business with encrypted videoconferencing, voice,
chat and desktop sharing.
• RF Management
- Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology automatically
scale battery-powered Aruba Beacons while also providing
assigns channel and power settings, provides airtime
advanced location and indoor wayinding, and proximity-based
fairness, and ensures that APs stay clear of all sources of RF
push notiication capabilities. It enables businesses to leverage
interference to deliver reliable, high-performance WLANs.
DATA SHEET
ARUBA 300 SERIES ACCESS POINTS
- The Aruba 300 Series APs can be conigured to provide
part-time or dedicated air monitoring for spectrum analysis
and wireless intrusion protection, VPN tunnels to extend
remote locations to corporate resources, and wireless mesh
connections where Ethernet drops are not available.
• Intelligent app visibility and control
- AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection to
classify and block, prioritize or limit bandwidth for over
2,500 enterprise apps or groups of apps.
• Security
- Integrated wireless intrusion protection ofers threat
protection and mitigation, and eliminates the need for
separate RF sensors and security appliances.
- IP reputation and security services identify, classify,
and block malicious iles, URLs and IPs, providing
comprehensive protection against advanced online threats.
- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure
storage of credentials and keys.
• Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM):
- Enables the AP to continuously monitor and report
its actual power consumption and optionally make
autonomous decisions to disable certain capabilities.
- For the 300 Series APs, the IPM power-save feature applies
when the unit is powered by an 802.3af PoE source. By
default, the USB interface will be the irst feature to turn
of if AP power consumption exceeds the available power
budget. In rare cases it may be necessary to take additional
power saving measures, but in most cases, the 300 Series
APs will operate in unrestricted mode.
CHOOSE YOUR OPERATING MODE
Aruba 300 Series APs ofer a choice of operating modes to
meet your unique management and deployment requirements.
• Controller-managed mode – When managed by
Aruba Mobility Controllers, Aruba 300 Series APs
ofer centralized coniguration, data encryption, policy
• Remote AP (RAP) for branch deployments.
• Air monitor (AM) for wireless IDS, rogue detection
and containment.
• Spectrum analyzer, dedicated or hybrid, for identifying
sources of RF interference.
• Secure enterprise mesh.
For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba Activate
service signiicantly reduces deployment time by automating
device provisioning, irmware upgrades, and inventory
management. With Aruba Activate, Instant APs are factoryshipped to any site and conigure themselves when powered up.
