Aruba 303H Series Hospitality Access Point
Installation Guide
The Aruba AP-303H Series Hospitality Access Points are high-performance dual-radio wireless devices for
hospitality and branch deployments.
These access points use Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology to provide secure wireless
connectivity for both 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n and 5GHz 802.11 a/n/ac WiFi.
Alternatively, the wired Ethernet ports located on the bottom of this access point allow users to connect directly
to the device when physically linked by an Ethernet cable.
The AP-303H can be attached to a standard single-gang wall box using the mount provided, or converted into a
desk-mounted remote access point for branch office deployments using the AP-303H-MNTW mount kit (sold
separately).
The AP-303H access point provides the following capabilities:
Dual wireless transceivers
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless access point
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless air monitor
Compatibility with IEEE 802.3af/at PoE
Central management configuration
Supports PoE-in (E0 port)/PoE-out (E3 port)
Support for selected USB peripherals
Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio
