Description
Aruba 303H Series Access Point
Overview:
The multi-functional Wave 2 303H access point delivers best-in class Wi-Fi connectivity for hospitality and branch offices, enabling an always-on user experience with low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
With a maximum concurrent data rate of 867Mbps in the 5GHz band and 300Mbps in the 2.4GHz band, the 303H AP delivers high-performance Gigabit Wi-Fi for hospitality and branch environments at an attractive price point. It supports multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) and 2 spatial streams (2SS) to provide simultaneous data transmission for up to 2 devices, maximizing data throughput and improving network efficiency.
The 303H AP can be easily mounted to a standard data wall-box using the existing structured cabling system or converted to a desk mounted AP using an optional mounting kit. It is ideal for schools (dormitories, classrooms), hotels, medical clinics, branch offices and remote workstations which often require flexible and easy deployment options.The 802.11ac Wave 2 303H AP combines wireless and wired access in a single compact device. Three local Gigabit Ethernet ports are available to securely attach wired devices to your network. One of these ports is also capable of supplying PoE power to the attached device.
Like all other Aruba Wave 2 APs, the 303H AP includes the enhanced ClientMatch™ technology that extends the client steering technology with MU-MIMO client awareness. It automatically identifies MU-MIMO capable mobile devices and steers those devices to the closest MU-MIMO capable Aruba access point to achieve the best WLAN performance in a mixed device environment during the technology transition period.
The integrated Bluetooth Aruba Beacon in the 303H AP simplifies the remote management of a large scale network of battery-powered BLE Aruba Beacons while also providing advanced location and indoor wayfinding, and proximity-based push notification capabilities.)
CHOOSE YOUR DEPLOYMENT AND OPERATING MODES
Aruba Unified APs offer a choice of deployment and operating modes to meet your unique management and deployment requirements:
- The 303H AP is a unified AP that supports both controller-based and controllerless deployment modes, providing maximum flexibility
- Controller-based mode: When deployed in conjunction with an Aruba Mobility Controller, Aruba APs offer centralized configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding.
- Controllerless (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) for wireless IDS, rogue detection and containment
- Spectrum analyzer, dedicated or hybrid, for identifying sources of RF interference
- Secure enterprise mesh
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, APs in Instant mode can configure themselves when powered up.

Highly secure and reliable performance
The Series APs offer improved network simplicity and security in several ways. Dynamic Segmentation automatically enforces real-time, device-level access policies on Aruba 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.
Flexible management options
Available management solutions include Aruba 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.
