Overview

  • UNIQUE BENEFITS
    • Unified AP – deploy with or without controller
      • The 340 Series APs can be deployed in either controller- based (ArubaOS) or controllerless (InstantOS) deployment mode
    • Dual Radio 4x4 802.11ac access point with Multi-User MIMO (wave 2)
      • 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
    • Optional dual-5 GHz mode supported, where the 2.4 GHz radio is converted to a second 5 GHz radio
      • 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
    • HPE SmartRate uplink Ethernet port (E0)
      • Supports up to 2.5 Gbps with NBase-T and IEEE 802.3bz Ethernet compatibility
      • Backwards compatible with 100/1000Base-T
    • Hitless PoE failover between both Ethernet ports
    • Built-in Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) radio
      • 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
    • 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
    • Aruba AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection to classify and block, prioritize or limit bandwidth for over 1,500 enterprise apps or groups of apps
    • Best-in-class RF Management
      • 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
    • Spectrum analysis
      • 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
    • Aruba  Secure Core
      • 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
    • Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM)
      • 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
    CHOOSE YOUR OPERATING MODE
    • The Aruba 340 Series APs offer a choice of deployment and operating modes to meet your unique management and deployment requirements:
      • 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.

    POWER SOURCES AND CONSUMPTION
    • The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (PoE)

    • Power sources are sold separately
    • Direct DC source: 48Vdc nominal, +/- 5%
    • Power over Ethernet (PoE): 48Vdc (nominal) 802.3af/802.3at compliant source
    • When powered by a direct DC power source, the AP will operate without restrictions
    • When powered by PoE and with the IPM feature enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode, but it may apply restrictions depending on the PoE budget and actual power. What IPM restrictions to apply, and in what order, is programmable.
    • When powered by PoE with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will apply some fixed restrictions:
      • The USB interface is disabled when using an 802.3at PoE power source
      • The USB interface and second Ethernet port (E1 if E0 is used, otherwise E0) are disabled, and both radios are restricted to 2x2 operation (AP in dual-radio mode) or 1x1 operation (AP in dual-5 GHz mode) when using an 802.3af PoE power source
    • Maximum (worst-case) power consumption:
      • DC powered: 20.0W (AP in dual-radio mode), 22.8W (AP in dual-5 GHz mode)
      • PoE powered (802.3at): 21.9W (AP in dual-radio mode), 25.1W (AP in dual-5 GHz mode)
      • PoE powered (802.3af): 13.5W
      • All numbers above are without an external USB device connected. When sourcing the full 5W power budget to such a device, the incremental (worst-case) power consumption for the AP is up to 6W (DC) or 6.6W (PoE)
    • Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode: 11W (DC or PoE)
