With a simultaneous data transfer rate of 1300Mb/sec over the 5GHz band and 300Mb/sec over the 2.4GHz band, it delivers excellent performance for demanding business applications.

Key features of the HPE Aruba Instant IAP-305 (RW) WiFi access point

• Dual-band WiFi access point for multiple users (802.11ac with MU-MIMO)
• Supports up to 1300Mb/sec over 5GHz (with 3SS / VHT80 clients) and up to 300Mb/sec over 2.4GHz (with 2SS / HT40 clients)
• Spectrum analyser with 2.4GHz and 5GHz band scan to identify sources of interference
• Comprehensive protection against advanced online threats (identifies, classifies and blocks malicious files, URLs, and IPs)
• Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) automatically adjusts the channel and power
• Prioritises important services with up to 2500 rules and AppRF to enforce critical application policies
• Integrated TPM for secure storage of credentials and keys

ClientMatch optimisation technology

The HPE Aruba Instant IAP-305 (RW) WiFi access point includes enhanced ClientMatch technology, which has received a MU-MIMO client ID extension. It automatically detects a mobile device supporting MU-MIMO and directs it to the most advantageous Aruba access point with MU-MIMO connection. By merging mobile devices with MU-MIMO, the network will use the current transfer to these devices to increase overall capacity. These dynamic policies help achieve the best WLAN performance in mixed-device environments with different technologies.

Advanced Cellular Coexistence can handle even busy urban environments

The Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) function, developed by Aruba, helps WLAN to operate with peak performance. The HPE Aruba Instant IAP-305 (RW) WiFi access point effectively suppresses the interference of 3G and 4G LTE mobile networks so that the network will not suffer outages when a variety of mobile devices are used in the area.

Aruba Beacon

The HPE Aruba Instant IAP-305 (RW) WiFi access point also has an integrated Aruba Beacon that simplifies the management and access sustainability of an extensive network. The Aruba Beacon is battery-powered and provides advanced accessibility and internal AP search paths. Built-in Low-Energy (BLE) type Bluetooth communicates with mobile devices, making it easy to manage and massively deploy AP across the entire site.

Operating modes for unique management and deployment requirements

Using the Aruba Mobility Controller management functionality, the HPE Aruba Instant IAP-305 (RW) WiFi access point offers centralised configuration, data encryption, network policy enforcement, and distributed and centralised redirects. In instant mode, Aruba immediately sends the network configuration to another AP in the WLAN. Turn on Instant AP, configure the setting through the air and connect other APs. With these features, network expansion is a piece of cake.
