Wireless Access Points/Bridges

The affordable mid-range Aruba 303 Series campus access point delivers high performance 802.11ac with MU-MIMO (Wave 2) for medium density enterprise environments. With the integrated BLE and supporting 802.3af power, the Aruba 303 Series AP enables enterprises to improve their work efficiency and productivity with the lowest TCO.

The compact Aruba 303 Series AP delivers a maximum concurrent data rate of 867 Mbps in the 5GHz band and 300 Mbps in the 2.4GHz band (for an aggregate peak data rate of 1.2Gbps). Featuring 2x2:2SS, the Aruba 303 is designed for medium device density environments, such as schools, retail branches, warehouses, hotels and enterprise offices, where the environment is cost sensitive.

Weatherproof and temperature-hardened, the Aruba 387 Series Access Points deliver multigigabit per second aggregate throughput at distances up to 400 meters (or 0.25 miles).

distances up to 400 meters (or 0.25 miles). With the ever-growing number of IoT devices, demand for reliable connectivity is rising - not just in traditional carpeted enterprises but also in outdoor use cases such as enabling connectivity across buildings on the same campus, adjacent structures (e.g. parking garage or annex), and remote or temporary event sites.

Point-to-point wireless solutions offer an attractive option for connecting two sites together where the right of way is difficult to obtain - or as a backup or recovery link for existing connections. But legacy point-to-point solutions can be expensive and vulnerable to inclement weather conditions. They can also require highly skilled workers for AP installation and alignment.

EXTREME WEATHER RESILIENCY AND RANGE
To solve these challenges, the 387 Series AP is designed with the resiliency needed during inclement weather and to survive harsh conditions. The 387 Series AP can withstand up to 165 mph winds and tolerate water, dust, and salt sprays for extended periods of time, and also provide connectivity at up to 400 meters. Should weather cause the 387 Series to become misaligned, Aruba's 60GHz radios can automatically adjust and align the point-to-point connection.

The 5GHz radio is also bonded with the 802.11ad radio to provide: 1) a boost in throughput in good conditions, and 2) intelligent fallback if the 60GHz radio is impacted by heavy rainfall.

SIMPLE, COST-EFFECTIVE DEPLOYMENT
From a deployment standpoint, the auto-adjustment feature can dramatically simplify labor requirements by eliminating the need for precision AP alignments during installation or weather impacts. APs can intelligently form links based on optimal parameters up to +/- 45 degrees azimuth* and +/- 17 degrees elevation. The 5GHz radio uses a fixed sector to cover the same range.

IOT-READY
The 387 Series includes an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio to simplify the deployment and management of location services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT sensors. This allows organizations to leverage the 360 Series as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources.

ARUBA SECURE INFRASTRUCTURE
The Aruba 387 Series includes components of Aruba's 360 Secure Fabric to help protect user authentication and wireless traffic. Select capabilities include:

WPA3 and Enhanced Open
Support for stronger encryption and authentication is provided via the latest version of WPA for enterprise protected networks.

Weatherproof and temperature hardened, the Aruba 387 APs deliver greater than one Gigabit per second aggregate throughput. It supports distances up to 400 meters (1/4 miles) and provides resilient operation in inclement weather. And, ease of deployment dramatically simplifies the skills needed to deploy point to point connections. The 60GHz radios include the ability to auto-adjust the radios between two APs that are only crudely aligned. These new APs are fully integrated into the Aruba portfolio and supported with on premise and cloud-based management.

In today's mobile era users are expecting to be connected everywhere and at any time. With the ever-growing number of IoT devices, there will be even more demand to provide reliable connectivity between two buildings or structures. Legacy point-to-point solutions can be expensive, and are vulnerable to weather conditions. They can also require highly skilled workers for installation and more importantly to ensure proper alignment of the APs.

Use cases range from connecting remote buildings to providing high bandwidth to a temporary event site. Point-to-point solutions offer an attractive option for linking two sites where a right of way is difficult to obtain, to provide a backup for existing fiber connections, or as a recovery link in the event of a line cut or crushed or flooded conduit.

The AP-387 is a dual radio solution that includes separate 5 and 60GHz radios for high performance point to point requirements, even in extreme outdoor weather use cases.

A maximum concurrent data rate of 2.5 Gbps in the 60GHz band and 867 Mbps in the 5GHz band (for an aggregate peak on air data rate of 3.37 Gbps) is supported.

Cost effective and simple to deploy

The AP-387 dramatically simplifies deployment compared to other point-to-point solutions. 802.11ad has provisions to autonomously form links. The APs only require a coarse alignment of the radios and then the link is intelligently adjusted for optimal performance by both ends.

This also means that even if heavy winds were to move the APs, the link would intelligently self-adjust without the need to send skilled resources to realign the APs.

The full scan range of the 60GHz radio is +/- 45 degrees in Azimuth and +/- 17 degrees in elevation. The 5GHz radio uses a fixed sector to cover the same range.

High reliability with intelligent fallback

One of the unique offerings of the AP-387 is it provides a 5GHz 802.11ac radio along with a high performance 60GHz 802.11ad radio. The 5GHz radio is bonded with the 802.11ad radio to provide:

1. A throughput boost in good conditions
2. And an intelligent fallback for the 60GHz if impacted by heavy rainfall.

Purpose built for outdoor deployments

Purpose-built to survive in the harshest outdoor environments, the AP-387 can withstand exposure to extreme temperatures changes and persistent moisture and precipitation. They are fully sealed to keep out airborne contaminants. All electrical interfaces include industrial strength surge protection.

The AP-387 also includes an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface for location services. Additionally, the BLE interface can now be used for console access to manage the Wi-Fi device itself.
