Aruba AP-303H Flex-radio 802.11ac 2x2 Unified Hospitality AP

High-performance 802.11ac Wave 2 AP for Hospitality and Branch Offices

The multi-functional Wave 2 303H access point delivers best-in class Wi-Fi connectivity for hospitality and branch offices, enabling an always-on user experience with low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

With a maximum concurrent data rate of 867Mbps in the 5GHz band and 300Mbps in the 2.4GHz band, the 303H AP delivers high-performance Gigabit Wi-Fi for hospitality and branch environments at an attractive price point. It supports multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) and 2 spatial streams (2SS) to provide simultaneous data transmission for up to 2 devices, maximizing data throughput and improving network efficiency.

The 303H AP can be easily mounted to a standard data wall-box using the existing structured cabling system or converted to a desk mounted AP using an optional mounting kit. It is ideal for schools (dormitories, classrooms), hotels, medical clinics, branch offices and remote workstations which often require flexible and easy deployment options.

• Cost-effective IEEE 802.11ac access point with configurable single- or dual-radio mode.
• Delivers up to 867 Mbps in the 5GHz band (with 2SS/VHT80 clients) and up to 400 Mbps in the 2.4GHz band (with 2SS/VHT40 clients)..
• Aruba 303H Series Unified Hospitality Access Points are software-configurable to operate in either 1x1 dual-radio mode, or 2x2 single-radio dual-band mode.
• The 303H AP can be managed by Aruba Central in the cloud, or managed by Aruba AirWave on-premise
• Aruba Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technologies- including Aruba ClientMatch, AppRF, Clarity and AirMatch- ensure the 303H will have the best radio connection while providing control and visibility to the WLAN and applications dynamically, especially in the changing environments.

The 802.11ac Wave 2 303H AP combines wireless and wired access in a single compact device. Three local Gigabit Ethernet ports are available to securely attach wired devices to your network. One of these ports is also capable of supplying PoE power to the attached device.

Unique Benefits

• The 303H ships with everything you need to deploy as a wall-mounted (hospitality) AP, attaching directly to a standard single-gang data wall-box. The 303H can also be easily converted to a desk mounted (remote) AP, using an optional accessory stand.

• The 303H can be deployed in either controller-based (ArubaOS) or controllerless (InstantOS) deployment mode

• Delivers up to 867 Mbps in the 5GHz band (with 2SS/VHT80 clients) and up to 400 Mbps in the 2.4GHz band (with 2SS/VHT40 clients).

Aruba APs offer a choice of deployment and operating modes to meet your unique management and deployment requirements:

• The 303H AP is the unified AP that supports both controller-based and controllerless deployment modes, providing maximum flexibility
• Controller-based mode: When deployed in conjunction with an Aruba Mobility Controller, Aruba APs offer centralised configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and centralised traffic forwarding.
• Controllerless (Instant) mode: The controller function is virtualised in a cluster of APs in Instant mode. As the network grows and/or requirements change, Instant deployments can easily migrate to controller based mode.
• Remote AP (RAP) mode for branch deployments
• Air monitor (AM) for wireless IDS, rogue detection and containment
• Secure enterprise mesh

Aruba Instant mode. 

In Aruba Instant mode, a single AP automatically distributes the network configuration to other Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply power-up on Instant AP, configure it over the air, and plug in the other APs – the entire process takes about five minutes.

Accelerate your business with the mobile-first digital workplace.

The nature of work is changing. Collaborative environments, a mobile workforce, and the possibility of smarter spaces. Harness new technology – ultra-fast Wi-Fi, the Internet of Things, and mobile UC — to move your business, and the people in it, faster than ever before.

Workplace design and technology must move in unison.

 As you move to the digital workplace, it’s critical to get your IT infrastructure ready. To meet the challenges, Aruba offers an integrated wired and wireless portfolio, with industry-leading advances in network management and security.

Create smarter, more efficient spaces with IoT.

 BYOD changed the playing field and allowed the workplace to go mobile. Now IoT is taking things up a notch by creating smarter, more efficient work spaces — intelligent meeting rooms, location services, and real time monitoring. Aruba was there to solve your BYOD challenges and we’re ready for IoT. Are you?

Aruba's mobile-first approach to wired and wireless.

 As organisations transition to the digital workplace, the majority of users will connect via wireless, but the surge in mobile and IoT means that the wired infrastructure is critical, too. Although fewer ports will be needed, high performing switches will team up with Wi-Fi to give businesses always-on connectivity. 

Automate security for BYOD and IoT.

Aruba ClearPass can now profile any IoT device, integrate with multi-factor authentication for stronger device and app security, and provide deeper insights into security incidents. Its automated threat protection features ensure that each device is accurately given network access privileges with minimal hands-on IT interaction.
