Aruba 203H Series Hospitality Access Points

Cost-effective 802.11ac access point for branch offices and hospitality environments

This cost-effective IEEE 802.11ac access point with single or dual radio mode delivers high performance Wi-Fi networks for hospitality and branch offices, while minimizing costs for low to moderate density areas.

The compact Aruba 203H Unified Hospitality Access Point is software configurable to operate in either 1x1 dual radio mode, or 2x2 single radio mode. It supports up to 867Mbps in the 5GHz band or up to 400Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band in single radio 2x2 mode. In dual radio 1x1 mode, the maximum data rates for the 203H AP are up to 433Mbps in the 5GHz band and 200Mbps in the 2.4GHz band.

The 203H AP can be easily mounted to a standard data wall-box using the existing structured cabling system or converted to a desk mounted AP using an optional mounting kit. With its flexible deployment options, the 203H is designed to deliver high-speed Wi-Fi for cost-sensitive, medium-density environments. It ensures the most cost-effective Wi-Fi connectivity for indoor premises including hotel rooms, dormitories, small offices and remote workstations.

Powered by PoE, the 203H AP minimizes power consumption with rich features that further facilitates a highly efficient and reliable wireless network. The 802.11ac 203H AP combines wireless and wired access in a single compact device. The local Gigabit Ethernet port can securely attach wired devices to your network. Additionally, the USB host interface on the AP allows the plug-in of Aruba BLE radio modules to enable advanced location and indoor wayfinding, and proximity-based push notification services.

Aruba 203H Series Hospitality Access Points

Unique Benefits

• Two Devices In One

- The 203H ships with everything you need to deploy as a wall-mounted (hospitality) AP, attaching directly to a standard single-gang data wall-box. The 203H can also be easily converted to a desk mounted (remote) AP, using an optional accessory stand. 

• Deploy With Or Without Controller

- The 203H can be deployed in either controller-based (ArubaOS) or controller-less (InstantOS) deployment mode.

• New 802.11ac Flexible Radio Architecture

- The 203H AP is software configurable to operate in either 1x1 dual radio mode, or 2x2 single radio dual-band mode.

- Supports up to 867Mbps in the 5GHz band (with 2SS/VHT80 clients) or up to 400Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (with 2SS/VHT40 clients). In 1x1 dual radio mode, these max speeds are up to 433Mbps and 200Mbps respectively.

• Optional Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) Radio Module Support

- Enables location-based services and other capabilities.

- USB BLE radio module securely attaches to AP

• RF Management

- Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology automatically assigns channel and power settings, provides airtime fairness and ensures that APs stay clear of all sources of RF interference to deliver reliable, high-performance WLANs

- The 203H can be configured to provide part-time or dedicated air monitoring for wireless intrusion protection, VPN tunnels to extend remote locations to corporate resources, and wireless mesh connections where Ethernet drops are not available.

• Security

- Integrated wireless intrusion protection 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.

• Intelligent App Visibility And Control

- AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection to classify and block, prioritize, or limit bandwidth for thousands of applications in a range of categories.

• Quality Of Service For Unified Communication Apps

- Supports priority handling and policy enforcement for unified communication apps, including Microsoft Skype for Business with encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop sharing

203H Access Point Specifications

• Unified flexible radio 802.11ac 2x2:2SS hospitality and branch AP with internal antennas
• Supports wall-box and desk mount deployments

WIFI Antennas

• Two integrated dual-band moderately directional antennas for 2x2 MIMO with maximum individual antenna gain of 4.3dBi in 2.4GHz and 6.3dBi in 5GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for vertical orientation of the AP. The horizontal beamwidth is roughly 120 degrees.

- Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios (in 2x2 mode), the peak gain of the effective per-antenna pattern is 3.8dBi in 2.4GHz and 4dBi in 5GHz.

Mounting

• The AP ships with a mounting plate to attach the AP to a single-gang wall-box (most international variations covered). The AP securely attaches to the plate; a custom security tool to remove the AP from the plate ships with the product.
• Several optional mount kits are available to attach the AP to a dual-gang wall-box, directly to the wall, or to support desk mounting.

Choose Your Operating Mode

Aruba APs offer a choice of deployment and operating modes to meet your unique management and deployment requirements:

• The 203H AP is the unified AP that supports both controller-based and controller-less deployment modes, providing maximum flexibility
• Controller-based mode: When deployed in conjunction with an Aruba Mobility Controller, Aruba APs offer centralized configuration, data encryption, policy 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) for wireless IDS, rogue detection and containment
• Secure enterprise mesh  

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, APs in Instant mode can configure themselves when powered up.
