ARUBA AP-345 SERIES CAMPUS ACCESS POINTS
Very high performance 802.11ac Wave 2 (WiFi 5) APs with dual-5 GHz and multi-gig Ethernet support
Thanks to Aruba’s advanced ClientMatch technology, the
340 series can automatically detect and classify 802.11ac
Wave 2 capable mobile devices. This allows ClientMatch to
automatically group Wave 2 capable devices onto a single
Wave 2 radio so that performance benefits of multi-user
MIMO can be realized — without the adverse effects of
slower 802.11ac and traditional 802.11n capable mobile
devices. This means increased network capacity and a boost
in network efficiency.
With maximum data rates of 2,166 Mbps in the 5 GHz band1
and 800 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (for an aggregate peak
data rate of 3.0 Gbps in dual-band mode and 4.3 Gbps in
dual-5 GHz mode), the 340 series APs 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.
These high performance and high density 340 Series
802.11ac access points support up to 160 MHz channel
bandwidth (VHT160), and 4 spatial streams (4SS) for both
SU- and MU-MIMO communications.
UNIQUE BENEFITS
• Unified AP – deploy with or without controller
– The 340 Series APs can be deployed in either controllerbased (ArubaOS) or controllerless (InstantOS)
deployment mode
• Dual Radio 4×4 802.11ac access point with Multi-User
MIMO (wave 2)
– Supports up to 2,166 Mbps per radio in the 5 GHz band
(with 4SS/VHT80 or 2SS/VHT160 clients) and up to 800
Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (with 4SS/VHT40 clients)
– Antenna polarization diversity (fixed) for optimized
RF performance
• Optional dual-5 GHz mode supported, where the 2.4 GHz
radio is converted to a second 5 GHz radio
– Both 5 GHz radios providing full coverage, doubling the
performance and capacity
– Unlike competitive solutions, the 340 Series is designed
to isolate the two 5 GHz transmitters for higher
performance
– Conversion can be manual/fixed, or automatic and
dynamic (software controlled, under-the hood), based on
system-wide capacity and load in both bands
• HPE SmartRate uplink Ethernet port (E0)
– Supports up to 2.5 Gbps with NBase-T and IEEE 802.3bz
Ethernet compatibility
– Backwards compatible with 100/1000Base-T
• Hitless PoE failover between both Ethernet ports
• Built-in Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) radio
– Enables location-based services with BLE-enabled mobile
devices receiving signals from multiple Aruba Beacons at
the same time
– Enables asset tracking when used with Aruba Asset Tags
• Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
– Minimizes interference from 3G/4G cellular networks,
distributed antenna systems and commercial small
cell/femtocell equipment
• Quality of service for unified communications applications
– Supports priority handling and policy enforcement
for unified communication apps, including Skype for
Business with encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat
and desktop sharing
• Aruba AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection
to classify and block, prioritize, or limit bandwidth for
thousands of applications in a range of categories
enforcement and network services, as well as distributed
and centralized traffic forwarding.
• Controller-less (Instant) mode – The controller function
is virtualized in a cluster of APs in Instant mode. As the
network grows and/or requirements change, Instant
deployments can easily migrate to controller-based mode.
• Remote AP (RAP) mode for branch deployments
• Air monitor (AM)2
for wireless IDS, rogue detection
and containment
• Spectrum analyzer (SA)2
, dedicated or hybrid, for
identifying sources of RF interference
• Secure enterprise mesh portal or point
For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba
Activate service significantly reduces deployment time by
automating device provisioning, firmware upgrades, and
inventory management. With Aruba Activate, the Instant APs
are factory-shipped to any site and configure themselves
when powered up.

Power Sources and Consumption
• The AP supports direct DC power and Power over
Ethernet (PoE)
• When both power sources are available, DC power takes
priority over PoE
• Power sources are sold separately
• Direct DC source: 48Vdc nominal, +/- 5%
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): 48Vdc (nominal) 802.3af/802.3at
compliant source
• When powered by a direct DC power source, the AP will
operate without restrictions
• When powered by PoE and with the IPM feature enabled,
the AP will start up in unrestricted mode, but it may apply
restrictions depending on the PoE budget and actual
power. What IPM restrictions to apply, and in what order,
is programmable.
• When powered by PoE with the IPM feature disabled, the AP
will apply some fixed restrictions:
– The USB interface is disabled when using an 802.3at
PoE power source
– The USB interface and second Ethernet port (E1 if E0 is
used, otherwise E0) are disabled, and both radios are
restricted to 2×2 operation (AP in dual-radio mode) or
1×1 operation (AP in dual-5 GHz mode) when using an
802.3af PoE power source
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption:
– DC powered: 20.0W (AP in dual-radio mode), 22.8W
(AP in dual-5 GHz mode)
– PoE powered (802.3at): 21.9W (AP in dual-radio mode),
25.1W (AP in dual-5 GHz mode)
– PoE powered (802.3af): 13.5W
– All numbers above are without an external USB device
connected. When sourcing the full 5W power budget
to such a device, the incremental (worst-case) power
consumption for the AP is up to 6W (DC) or 6.6W (PoE)
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode:
11W (DC or PoE)
Mounting
• The AP ships with two (black) mounting clips to attach to a
9/16-inch or 15/16-inch flat T-bar drop-tile ceiling
• Several optional mount kits are available to attach the AP to
a variety of surfaces; see the Ordering Information section
below for details
IOT PLATFORM CAPABILITIES
The 340 Series provides integrated Bluetooth capabilities
to enable Meridian and IoT-based location services, asset
tracking, and mobile engagement services. For expanded
use cases, an IoT expansion radio can be added to support
the Zigbee protocol. These features allow organizations to
leverage the AP as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need
for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources.
• Best-in-class RF Management
– Integrated AirMatch technology manages the 2.4-GHz
and 5-GHz radio bands and actively optimizes the RF
environment including channel width, channel selection
and transmit power
– Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology provides
airtime fairness and ensures that APs stay clear of all
sources of RF interference to deliver reliable, highperformance WLANs
• Spectrum analysis
– Capable of part-time or dedicated air monitoring, the
spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4 GHz and
5 GHz radio bands to identify sources of RF interference
from HT20 through VHT160 operation
• Aruba Secure Infrastructure
– Device assurance: Use of Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
for secure storage of credentials and keys as well as
secure boot
– Integrated wireless intrusion protection2
offers threat
protection and mitigation, and eliminates the need for
separate RF sensors and security appliances
– IP reputation and security services identify, classify,
and block malicious files, URLs and IPs, providing
comprehensive protection against advanced online threats
– 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 340 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
