Business with encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat, and desktop sharing

- 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, highperformance WLANs.

- The Aruba 310 series APs 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.

- Supports software upgrade to enable additional 5 GHz spectrums when governments expand available

frequencies.

- AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection to classify and block, prioritize, or limit bandwidth for

thousands of applications in a range of categories.

- 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 and keys.

- 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 first feature to turn off 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 APs will operate in unrestricted mode

Controller-managed mode – When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, Aruba 310 Series APs offer centralized configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding.

• Aruba Instant mode – In Aruba Instant mode, a single AP automatically distributes the network configuration to other

Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply power-up one Instant AP, configure it over the air, and plug in the other APs – the entire process takes about five minutes. If WLAN requirements change, a built-in migration path allows 310 Series inst become part of a WLAN that is managed by a Mobility Controller.
