ARUBA 330 SERIES
ACCESS POINTS
802.11ac Wave 2 that scales up to
multi-gig Ethernet
The Aruba 330 Series access points provide the
fastest gigabit data speeds and superb user
experience for mobile devices and applications in a
digital workplace. Designed with an integrated HPE
Smart Rate port to scale up to 5Gbps Ethernet, the
330 Series allows enterprises to leverage their
multi-gigabit Ethernet wired network infrastructures
to eliminate bottlenecks.
Thanks to ClientMatch technology, ArubaOS enables the 330
series to automatically detect and classify 802.11ac Wave 2
capable mobile devices. This allows ClientMatch to
automatically collect Wave 2 capable devices under a single
Wave 2 radio so that per formance benets of multi-user
MIMO can be realized — without the adverse eects of
slower 802.11ac and traditional 802.11n capable mobile
devices. This means increased network capacity and a boost
in network eciency.
With a maximum concurrent data rate of 1,733 Mbps in the
5 GHz band and 800 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (for an
aggregate peak data rate of 2.5Gbps), the 330 Series Access
Points deliver a best-in-class, next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi
infrastructure that is ideal for lecture halls, auditoriums,
public venues, and high-density oce environments.
The high performance and high density 802.11ac 330 Series
Access Points support 160 MHz channel bandwidth
(VHT160), 4-stream multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) and 4
spatial streams (4SS).
They provide simultaneous data transmission to multiple
devices, maximizing data throughput and improving
network eciency.
The 330 Series Access Points have 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 waynding, 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.

clear of all sources of RF interference to deliver reliable,
high-performance WLANs
- The Aruba 330 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
• 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
• Security

CHOOSE YOUR OPERATING MODE
The Aruba 330 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 330 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 the
330 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, the Instant APs
are factory-shipped to any site and congure themselves
when powered up.
