DESCRIPTION

Thewireless AP Aruba Access Point 325 multi-functionalprovides the best possible Wi-Fi 802.11ac connectivity and user experience. Featuring enhanced ClientMatch and Aruba Beacon technologies from Aruba, the 320 series enables the highest capacity, performance and efficiency in extremely high density environments.

With a maximum concurrent data rate of 1,733 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 800 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (2.5 Gbps compound date rate), the 320 Series Access Points provide the best-in-class next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi infrastructure for the highest density environments.

The high-performance, high-density 802.11ac 320 series supports multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) and 4 streams of spatial Access Points (4SS). It provides simultaneous data transmission to multiple devices, maximizes data throughput and improves network efficiency.

The 320 Series includes enhanced patent pending ClientMatch technology that expands client steering technology with MU-MIMO client awareness. Automatically identifies MU-MIMO-enabled mobile devices and directs them to the nearest MU-MIMO-enabled Aruba access point. By grouping mobile devices that support MU-MIMO, the network is starting to take advantage of simultaneous transmissions to these devices, increasing their overall capacity. Dynamic roaming policies, based on this device type, help customers achieve the best WLAN performance in mixed device environments during technology transitions.

The 320 Series has an integrated Bluetooth Aruba Beacon which simplifies remote management of the large-scale Aruba battery-powered beacon network while providing advanced location and indoor streetfinding, as well as proximity-based push notification capabilities. This enables businesses to take advantage of the mobility context to develop applications that will provide an enhanced user experience and increase the value of wireless networks for organizations.

Increase network efficiency

With multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), you can send to multiple Wave 2 clients from the AP, at the same time.

ClientMatch launches MU-MIMO

Aruba ClientMatch software batches Wave 2 clients, enabling MU-MIMO. That means a faster and more efficient network.

Integrated Bluetooth Beacon The

320 series AP has an integrated BLE Beacon to simplify large-scale network management of battery-powered Aruba Beacons.

Choose your mode of operation

The Aruba 320 Series Access Points offer a choice of operating modes to meet your unique management and deployment needs.

Controller-managed mode – When managed by the Aruba Mobility Controller, the Aruba 320 Series Access Points offer centralized configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement, and network services, as well as centralized, distributed traffic forwarding.
Aruba Instant mode – In Aruba Instant mode, one AP automatically distributes network configuration to other Instant APs on the WLAN. Just power on one Instant AP, configure over the air, and plug in another AP – the whole process takes about five minutes. If the WLAN requirements change, the internal migration path allows the 320 series Instant AP to become part of the WLAN managed by the Mobility Controller.
Remote AP (RAP) for branch deployment
Air monitor (AM) for wireless IDS, rogue detection and containment
Spectrum analyzers, dedicated or hybrid, to identify sources of RF interference
Secure corporate nets

For large installations at multiple sites, the Aruba Activate service significantly reduces deployment time by automating device provisioning, firmware upgrades, and inventory management. With Aruba Activate, Instant APs are sent from the factory to any site and configured themselves at startup.
