DATA SHEET 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.
