Overview

The HPE Aruba Networking 303 Series Campus Access Points delivers an affordable high performance 802.11ac with MU-MIMO (Wave 2) for medium density enterprise environments. With the integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and supporting 802.3af power, the HPE Aruba Networking 303 Series APs enables enterprises to improve their work efficiency and productivity with low TCO. The compact HPE Aruba Networking 303 Series Campus Access Points delivers a maximum concurrent data rate of 867 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 300 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (for an aggregate peak data rate of 1.2 Gbps). Featuring 2×2:2SS, it is designed for device density environments, such as schools, retail branches, warehouses, hotels and enterprise offices, where the environment is cost sensitive.

What’s new

• Simplify and cost-reduce the installation of multiple devices by sharing switch ports and cabling.
• 2:2:2SS SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO operation, channel width up to 80 MHz.
• Unified access points supporting HPE Aruba NetworkingOS and InstantOS modes.
• AP-303P models support Zigbee 802.15.4 radio to provide connectivity for IoT devices.
• The AP-303P models allow you to daisy-chain your wired network to connect and power any network device (IP camera, IOT gateway, or a second access point) to the E1 Ethernet port of the AP-303P.

Features

The HPE Aruba Networking 303 Series Campus Access Points are cost-optimized for delivering 802.11ac Wave 2 performance in medium density environments.

The HPE Aruba Networking 303 Series Campus Access Points deliver architectural flexibility, since they can be deployed either with a controller or in controllerless mode.

Mid-range performance and density 802.11ac Wave 2 Access Point

The HPE Aruba Networking 303 Series Campus Access Points support 802.11ac with Wave 2 features including 2×2:2SS and up to 80 MHz channel bandwidth.

Integrated BLE Beacon For Location Services and Asset Tracking
802.11ac Wave 2 With 2×2:24SS, 80MHz, and MU-MIMO

Supports dual-radio operation in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

Unified Access Points Supporting HPE Aruba NetworkingOS and InstantOS Modes

The HPE Aruba Networking 303 Series Campus Access Points have an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon to enable Aruba location services such as beacon management, location notifications and navigation.

The integration of a BLE beacon enables businesses to leverage mobile context to develop applications that deliver an enhanced user experience and increase the value of the network infrastructure.

Radios support transmissions in Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) and Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO) operating modes.

Designed specifically for moderate performance requirements.

Based on the presence of a controller in the network, the HPE Aruba Networking 303 Series Campus Access Points will load the HPE ArubaOS or InstantOS software automatically.
