HPE JW187A

ArubaAP-325 (JW187A) IEEE 802.11ac 2.50 Gbps Dual-Radio Indoor Wireless Access Point

The HPE ArubaJW187A AP-325 is a high-performance, TAA/FIPS-certified indoor dual-radio Wireless Access Point delivering up to 2.5 Gbps aggregate throughput. Ideal for enterprise, public sector, and high-density environments, it supports 4×4:4 MU-MIMO and advanced Arubafeatures×ensuring secure, scalable Wi-Fi 5 connectivity.

Features

This Wave-2 Wireless Access Point features dual 4×4 MIMO radios, providing aggregate speeds of 1,733 Mbps in the 5 GHz band plus 600 Mbps in 2.4 GHz. Integrated into a sleek ceiling- or wall-mount design, it includes eight down-tilt omni-directional antennas optimized for horizontal ceiling layouts. With ArubaClientMatch client steering, Beacon-based BLE, and DFS support, the AP intelligently manages dense client scenarios and co-channel RF interference.

Advanced Options

Two native Gigabit RJ-45 ports provide network/data uplinks×supporting MDI/MDX auto-uplink, link aggregation to approach backhaul speeds close to 2 Gbps, and 802.3af/at PoE-PD for deployment flexibility. A USB-2 host port and RJ-45 console provide local management/usability support.

Reliability & Performance

With a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of ~740,000 hours (~84.5 years), the AP-325 is built for long-term reliability. Power consumption peaks at ~18.5 W under 802.3at PoE, or ~13.5 W under 802.3af, with idle power as low as ~8 W. Dual Ethernet ports allow seamless redundancy or uplink trunking. ArubaACC technology mitigates cellular interference, while thermal-efficient internal design ensures consistent performance.
