HPE Aruba Networking 303 Series indoor Wi-Fi 5 access point

This cost-effective access point is perfect for lower-density environments such as retail stores and branch offices.

With the integrated BLE and supporting 802.3af power, the 303 Series APs enable enterprises to improve their work efficiency and productivity with the lowest TCO. When Ethernet drops are not available, VPN tunnels extend remote locations to corporate resources and wireless mesh connections.

The 303 Series APs include a second Ethernet port with PoE out to daisy-chain the wired network to connect and power any network device such as IP camera, IoT gateway, or even a second access point. This feature reduces the cost and simplifies the installation of multiple devices by sharing switch ports and cabling. The 303 Series APs also have integrated Zigbee radio for IoT connectivity.

The 303 Series APs offer improved network simplicity and security in several ways. Dynamic Segmentation automatically enforces real-time, device-level access policies on HPE Aruba Networking wired and wireless networks. Additionally, 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.

Available management solutions include HPE Aruba Networking Central (available in cloud-managed and on-premises options), as well as Aruba AirWave, which supports multi-vendor networks. APs can be deployed with zero-touch provisioning to reduce deployment time, centralize configuration, and simplify inventory management.

Features

The 303 Series campus APs deliver connectivity to environments such as schools, retail branches, warehouses, hotels, and offices, where the environment is cost-sensitive.

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).

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).

ClientMatch continuously monitors the health of all clients connected to each access point, intelligently grouping them.

ARM automatically assigns channel, width, and power settings based on environment and client density. It also provides airtime fairness and ensures that access points stay clear of all sources of RF interference to deliver reliable, high-performance WLANs.

The access point supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (PoE). When both power sources are available, DC power takes priority over PoE.
