Aruba IAP-335 IEEE 802.11ac 2.30 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point

The Aruba 330 Series access points provide the fastest gigabit data speeds and superb user experience for mobile devices and applications in a digital workplace. Designed with an integrated HPE Smart Rate port to scale up to 5Gbps Ethernet, the 330 Series allows enterprises to leverage their multi-gigabit Ethernet wired network infrastructures to eliminate bottlenecks.

Thanks to ClientMatch technology, ArubaOS enables the 330 series to automatically detect and classify 802.11ac Wave 2 capable mobile devices. This allows ClientMatch to automatically collect Wave 2 capable devices under a single Wave 2 radio so that performance benefits of multi-user MIMO can be realized - without the adverse effects of slower 802.11ac and traditional 802.11n capable mobile devices. This means increased network capacity and a boost in network efficiency.

With a maximum concurrent data rate of 1,733 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 600 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (for an aggregate peak data rate of 2.3Gbps), the 330 Series Access Points deliver a best-in-class, next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi infrastructure that is ideal for lecture halls, auditoriums, public venues, and high-density office environments.

The high performance and high density 802.11ac 330 Series Access Points support 160 MHz channel bandwidth (VHT160), 4-stream multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) and 4 spatial streams (4SS).

They provide simultaneous data transmission to multiple devices, maximizing data throughput and improving network efficiency.

IOT PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

Like all Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs, the 330 Series provides integrated Bluetooth capabilities to enable Meridian and IoT-based location services, asset tracking, and mobile engagement services. For expanded use cases, an IoT expansion radio can be added to support the Zigbee protocol. These features allow organizations to leverage the AP as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources.
