Description
Overview:
ArubaOS allows the 330 series to automatically detect and classify 802.11ac Wave 2 compatible mobile devices thanks to ClientMatch technology. This enables ClientMatch to gather Wave 2 capable devices under a single Wave 2 radio, allowing multiuser MIMO performance to be realised without the drawbacks of slower 802.11ac and classic 802.11n capable mobile devices. This translates to more network capacity and improved network efficiency.
The 330 Series Access Points deliver a best-in-class, next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi infrastructure that is ideal for lecture halls, auditoriums, public venues, and high-density office environments, with a maximum concurrent data rate of 1,733 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 600 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (for an aggregate peak data rate of 2.3Gbps).
UNIQUE BENEFITS
• Dual Radio 802.11ac access point with Multi-User MIMO
– Supports up to 1,733 Mbps in the 5 GHz band (with 4SS/VHT80 or 2SS/VHT160 clients) and up to 600 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (with 4SS/HT40 clients)
• Antenna polarization diversity for optimized RF performance
– Each 5 GHz radio chain has a switch and two antennas
– Software controlled; Horizontally and vertically polarized Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of credentials and keys
– SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired Ethernet traffic
• Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM)
– Enables the AP to continuously monitor and report its actual power consumption and optionally make autonomous decisions to disable certain capabilities
based on the amount of power available to the unit
– Software configurable to disable capabilities in certain orders. For the 330 Series Access Points, by default, the USB interface will be the first feature to turn off if the AP power consumption exceeds the available power budget.

Direct DC source: 48Vdc nominal, +/- 5%
– Interface accepts 1.35/3.5-mm center-positive circular plug with 9.5-mm length
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): 48 Vdc (nominal) 802.3af/802.3at compliant source

– Without IPM the AP will apply some fixed restrictions when using PoE:
> The USB interface is disabled when using an 802.3at PoE power source
> The USB interface and second Ethernet port are disabled, and both radios operate in 1×1 mode when using an 802.3af POE power source
