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
thousands of applications in a range of categories
• 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, highperformance 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 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
- 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

Not supported in dual-5 GHz mode
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
