Aruba AP-303P IEEE 802.11ac 1.20 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point - TAA Compliant

Low-cost 802.11ac Wave 2 (Wi-Fi 5) enterprise connectivity

The affordable mid-range Aruba 303 Series campus access point delivers high performance 802.11ac with MU-MIMO (Wave 2) for medium density enterprise environments. With the integrated BLE and supporting 802.3af power, the Aruba 303 Series AP enables enterprises to improve their work efficiency and productivity with the lowest TCO.

The compact Aruba 303 Series AP delivers a maximum concurrent data rate of 867 Mbps in the 5GHz band and 300 Mbps in the 2.4GHz band (for an aggregate peak data rate of 1.2Gbps). Featuring 2x2:2SS, the Aruba 303 is designed for medium device density environments, such as schools, retail branches, warehouses, hotels and enterprise offices, where the environment is cost sensitive.

IOT PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

Like all Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs, the 303 Series includes an integrated Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio (for Zigbee support) to simplify deploying and managing Meridian and IoT-based location services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT sensors. This allows organizations to leverage the AP as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources.

UNIQUE BENEFITS

• Unified AP - deploy with or without controller
  
  
  • The 303 Series access points can be deployed in either controller-based (ArubaOS) or controller-less (InstantOS) deployment mode
• Dual Radio 2x2 802.11ac access point with Multi-User MIMO (wave 2)

  • Supports up to 867Mbps in the 5GHz band (with 2SS/VHT80 client devices) and up to 300Mbps in the 2.4GHz band (with 2SS/HT40 clients)

• 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 asset tracking when used with Aruba Asset Tags

• Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)

  • Minimizes interference from 3G/4G cellular networks, distributed antenna systems and commercial small cell/femtocell equipment

• Quality of service for unified communications applications

  • Supports priority handling and policy enforcement for unified communication apps, including Skype for Business with encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop sharing

• Aruba AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection to classify and block, prioritize or limit bandwidth for over 2,500 enterprise apps or groups of apps

• RF Management

  • Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology with AirMatch automatically assigns channel, width and power settings based on environment and client density. It also provides airtime fairness and ensures that APs stay clear of all sources of RF interference to deliver reliable, high-performance WLANs

  • The Aruba 303 Series Access Points can be configured 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

• Spectrum analysis

  • Capable of part-time or dedicated air monitoring, the spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio bands to identify sources of RF interference from HT20 through VHT80 operation

• Aruba Secure Core

  • Device assurance: Use of Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of credentials and keys as well as secure boot
