HPEAruba

IAP-305-US ArubaCX 300 Series Instant Wireless Access Point Wi-Fi 5 Wave 2, Dual Radio 802.11ac

The HPEArubaInstant IAP-305-US (model JX946A) is a powerful entry-level 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi 5 Wireless Access Point designed for medium-density enterprise and SMB environments. Featuring dual-band radios with 3×3:3 MU-MIMO on the 5 GHz band and 2×2:2 on 2.4 GHz, it delivers up to 1.7 Gbps of total throughput×providing fast, reliable connectivity to multiple client devices simultaneously. With integrated omni-directional antennas and Arubaadvanced ClientMatch and Adaptive Radio Management technologies, it simplifies wireless management while optimizing network efficiency and user experience.

Features

The ArubaIAP-305-US operates in controller-less Instant mode (or managed by ArubaMobility Controllers), making deployment fast and scalable. Its built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon supports location-based services and beacon management.

Advanced Options

Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) optimizes power use under PoE constraints by selectively disabling features like USB when needed. Integrated RF monitoring and intrusion detection ensure wireless network security without extra hardware.

Product Key Features

1. Dual-radio 802.11ac Wave 2 (3×3:3 MU-MIMO at 5 GHz, 2×2:2 at 2.4 GHz)

2. Up to 1.3 Gbps (5 GHz) + 400 Mbps (2.4 GHz) = 1.7 Gbps total

3. Integrated Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) ArubaBeacon for location services

4. ArubaClientMatch and Adaptive Radio Management (ARM)

5. Supports ArubaInstant mode and Controller-managed deployments
