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

Unified AP – deploy with or without controller

The 303 Series access points can be deployed in either controller-based (ArubaOS) or controller-less (InstantOS) deployment mode

Dual Radio 2x2 802.11ac access point with Multi-User MIMO (wave 2)

Supports up to 867Mbps in the 5GHz band (with 2SS/VHT80 client devices) and up to 300Mbps in the 2.4GHz band (with 2SS/HT40 clients)

Backwards compatible with 100/1000Base-T

Built-in Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) radio

Enables location based services with BLE-enabled mobile devices receiving signals from multiple HPE Aruba Networking Beacons at the same time

Enables asset tracking when used with HPE Aruba Networking Asset Tags

Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)

Minimizes interference from 3G/4G cellular networks, distributed antenna systems and commercial small cell/femtocell equipment

Quality of service for unified communications applications

Supports priority handling and policy enforcement for unified communication apps, including Skype for Business with encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop sharing

HPE Aruba Networking AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection to classify and block, prioritize or limit bandwidth for over 1,500 enterprise apps or groups of apps

RF Management

Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology automatically assigns channel and power settings, provides airtime fairness and ensures that APs stay clear of all sources of RF interference to deliver reliable, high-performance WLANs

The HPE Aruba Networking 303 Series Access Points can be configured to provide part-time or dedicated air monitoring for spectrum analysis and wireless intrusion protection, VPN tunnels to extend remote locations to corporate resources, and wireless mesh connections where Ethernet drops are not available

Spectrum analysis

Capable of part-time or dedicated air monitoring, the spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio bands to identify sources of RF interference from HT20 through VHT80 operation

Security

Integrated wireless intrusion protection offers threat protection and mitigation, and eliminates the need for separate RF sensors and security appliances

IP reputation and security services identify, classify, and block malicious files, URLs and IPs, providing comprehensive protection against advanced online threats

Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of credentials and keys

• Up to 1.2 Gbps aggregate peak data rate

• Daisy-chain another AP using the secondary PoE-out port

• Integrated Zigbee and Bluetooth 5 radio for IoT connectivity

• Resolve sticky client issues with MU-MIMO-aware ClientMatch

• Participates in HPE Aruba Networking’s Dynamic Segmentation solution

The affordable mid-range HPE Aruba Networking 303 Series campus access point delivers high performance 802.11ac with MU-MIMO (Wave 2) for medium density enterprise environments. With the integrated BLE and supporting 802.3af power, the 303 Series AP enables enterprises to improve their work efficiency and productivity with the lowest TCO. The compact 303 Series AP 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). Featuring 2x2:2SS, the 303 is designed for medium device density environments, such as schools, retail branches, warehouses, hotels and enterprise offices, where the environment is cost sensitive.

The 303 Series includes an integrated Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radio (for Zigbee support) to simplify deploying and managing Meridian and IoT-based location services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT sensors. This allows organizations to leverage the AP as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources.
