- Enables management of your deployment of battery-powered Aruba Beacons.
• Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
- Minimizes the impact from out-of-band interference from sources such as 3G/4G cellular networks.
• Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM):
- Enables the AP to continuously monitor and report its actual power consumption and optionally make
autonomous decisions to prioritize capabilities when power budget is limited.
- For the 303H, the IPM power-save feature applies when the unit is powered by an 802.3af or 802.3at POE
source. By default, the USB interface will be the first feature to be turned off by IPM if the
AP power consumption
would otherwise exceed the available power budget. Specific power-saving options are programmable with IPM.
• 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 303H 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.
• 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, certificates and keys.
• Intelligent app visibility and control
- AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection to classify and block, prioritize, or limit bandwidth for
thousands of applications in a range of categories.
• Quality of service for unified communication apps
-
Supports priority handling and policy enforcement for unified communication apps, including Microsoft Skype for
Business with encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop sharing.
• Simple and easy deployment
- The AP-303H comes with a Remote AP Bundle SKU that contains an access point, desk stand, power adapter
and AC power cord. The bundled items are orderable as a single SKU and shipped in one shipping box, allowing
remote workers to quickly set up the AP without requiring AP/mount assembly.
Choose Your Operating Mode
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 controller-less 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.
• 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) 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 thems
elves
when powered up.
