Aruba 318 Series Access Points
802.11ac Wave 2 for harsh, weather-protected environments
Product overview
The hardened Aruba 318 series access point delivers gigabit Wi-Fi performance to 802.11ac mobile devices in harsh, weatherprotected environments such as warehouses, industrial freezers or enclosures in extreme environments such as stadiums. It
delivers 4x4:4SS MU
location services.
With a maximum concurrent data rate of 1,733 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 300 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (for an aggregate
peak data rate of 2.0 Gbps), the Aruba 318 APs can quickly add required capaci

As a unified AP, the Aruba 318 can be deployed with or without a controller and can be readily switched to accommodate
changing network needs.
Other functional modes include:
For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba Activate service significantly reduces deployment time by automating
provisioning, firmware upgrades, and inventory management. With Aruba Activate, Unified APs are factory

Aruba 318 Series Specifications
• 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.
• 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.
• Wireless mesh
- Wireless mesh connections are convenient 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
thousands of applications in a range of categories.
• 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, URL and IPs, providing
comprehensive protection against advanced online threats.
- Encrypted IPsec VPN tunnels securely connect remote users to corporate network resources.
• Controller mode: When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, the Aruba 318 series APs offer centralized configuration,
data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding or,
• Controllerless (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 ###
