ARUBA 310 SERIES
ACCESS POINTS
High-performance 802.11ac Wave 2
The Aruba 310 Series access points deliver high
performance and superb user experience for
mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT) devices,
and applications in dense oce environments.
Featuring the 4x4:4SS MU-MIMO capability,
advanced Aruba ClientMatch radio management,
and Aruba Beacon technologies, the 310 Series
enables an all-wireless digital work environment in
a cost-eective manner.
With a maximum concurrent data rate of 1,733 Mbps in
the 5 GHz band and 400 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (for an
aggregate peak data rate of 2.1 Gbps), the 310 Series Access
Points can quickly add required capacities to your existing
or new wireless networks. The mid-range 310 Series, with its
single gigabit Ethernet uplink, is ideal for high device density
environments, such as schools, retail branches, hotels and
enterprise oces, where the organization is cost sensitive.
The 310 Series also has an integrated Bluetooth Aruba
Beacon that simplies the remote management of a
network of large-scale battery-powered Aruba beacons
while also providing advanced location and indoor way
nding, and proximity-based push notication capabilities. It
enables businesses to leverage mobility context to develop
applications that will deliver an enhanced user experience
and increase the value of the wireless network
for organizations.
The high per formance and high density 802.11ac 310 Series
supports 160 MHz channel bandwidth (VHT160), multi-user
MIMO (MU-MIMO) and 4 spatial streams (4SS). It provides
simultaneous data transmission to multiple devices,
maximizing data throughput and improving network eciency.
The 310 Series includes the enhanced ClientMatch technology
that extends the client steering technology with MU-MIMO
client awareness. It automatically identies MU-MIMO capable
mobile devices and steers those devices to the closest
MU-MIMO capable Aruba access point. By grouping
MU-MIMO capable mobile devices together, the network
starts taking advantage of the simultaneous transmission to
these devices, increasing its overall capacity. These dynamic
roaming policies that are based on device types, help users
achieve the best WLAN performance in a mixed device
environment during the technology transition period.

ARUBA 310 SERIES ACCESS POINTS
• 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 Aruba 310 Series Access Points can be congured 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.
• Intelligent app visibility and control
- AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection to
classify and block, prioritize or limit bandwidth for over
1,500 enterprise apps or groups of apps.
• Security
- Integrated wireless intrusion protection oers 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 les, URLs and IPs, providing
comprehensive protection against advanced online threats.
- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure
storage of credentials and keys.
• 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
- For the 310 Series Access Points, the IPM power-save
feature applies when the unit is powered by an 802.3af
PoE source. By default, the USB interface will be the rst
feature to turn o if AP power consumption will exceed
the available power budget. In rare cases it may be
necessary to take additional power saving measures, but
in most cases, the 310 Series Access Points will operate in
unrestricted mode.
CHOOSE YOUR OPERATING MODE
Aruba 310 Series Access Points oer a choice of operating
modes to meet your unique management and deployment
requirements.
• Controller-managed mode – When managed by Aruba
Mobility Controllers, Aruba 310 Series Access Points
oer centralized conguration, data encryption, policy
enforcement and network services, as well as distributed
and centralized trac forwarding.
• Aruba Instant mode – In Aruba Instant mode, a single
AP automatically distributes the network conguration
to other Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply power-up one
Instant AP, congure it over the air, and plug in the other
APs – the entire process takes about ve minutes. If WLAN
requirements change, a built-in migration path allows
310 Series instant APs to become part of a WLAN that is
managed by a Mobility Controller.
• Remote AP (RAP) 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 signicantly reduces deployment time by automating
device provisioning, rmware upgrades, and inventory
management. With Aruba Activate, Instant APs are factory-
shipped to any site and congure themselves when powered up.
