Products

• The 340 Series APs can be deployed in either controller- based (ArubaOS) or controllerless (InstantOS) deployment mode

• Supports up to 2,166 Mbps per radio in the 5 GHz band (with 4SS/VHT80 or 2SS/VHT160 clients) and up to 800 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (with 4SS/VHT40 clients)
• Antenna polarization diversity (fixed) for optimized RF performance

• Both 5 GHz radios providing full coverage, doubling the performance and capacity
• Unlike competitive solutions, the 340 Series is designed to isolate the two 5 GHz transmitters for higher performance
• Conversion can be manual/fixed, or automatic and dynamic (software controlled, under-the hood), based on system-wide capacity and load in both bands

• Supports up to 2.5 Gbps with NBase-T and IEEE 802.3bz Ethernet compatibility
• Backwards compatible with 100/1000Base-T

• Enables location-based services with BLE-enabled mobile devices receiving signals from multiple Aruba Beacons at the same time
• Enables asset tracking when used with Aruba Asset Tags

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

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

• Integrated AirMatch technology manages the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands and actively optimizes the RF environment including channel width, channel selection and transmit power
• Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology provides airtime fairness and ensures that APs stay clear of all sources of RF interference to deliver reliable, high- performance WLANs

• Capable of part-time or dedicated air monitoring, the spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands to identify sources of RF interference from HT20 through VHT160 operation

• Device assurance: Use of Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of credentials and keys as well as secure boot
• Integrated wireless intrusion protection¹sup> 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
• SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired Ethernet traffic

• Enables the AP to continuously monitor and report its actual power consumption and optionally make autonomous decisions to disable certain capabilities based on the amount of power available to the unit
• Software configurable to disable capabilities in certain orders. For the 340 Series Access Points, by default, the USB interface will be the first feature to turn off if the AP power consumption exceeds the available power budget

• The 340 Series AP is a unified AP that supports both controller-based and controller-less deployment modes, providing maximum flexibility.
• Controller-based mode – When deployed in conjunction with an Aruba Mobility Controller, Aruba 340 Series APs offer centralized configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding.
• Controller-less (Instant) mode – The controller function is virtualized 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)¹ for wireless IDS, rogue detection and containment
• Spectrum analyzer (SA)¹, dedicated or hybrid, for identifying sources of RF interference
• Secure enterprise mesh portal or point

For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba Activate service significantly reduces deployment time by automating device provisioning, firmware upgrades, and inventory management. With Aruba Activate, the Instant APs are factory-shipped to any site and configure themselves when powered up.

• Four spatial stream Multi User (MU) MIMO for up to 1,733 Mbps wireless data rate to up to four 1SS or two 2SS MU-MIMO capable client devices simultaneously
• Peak datarate increases to 2,166 Mbps when using 1024-QAM modulation (proprietary extension)

• Four spatial stream Single User (SU) MIMO for up to 600 Mbps wireless data rate to individual 4SS HT40 client devices, and up to 800 Mbps to individual 4SS VHT40 devices (proprietary extension)
