Aruba 340 Series Access Points

Extreme performance 802.11ac wave 2 aps with dual-5 GHz and multi-gig Ethernet Support

The Aruba 340 series access points provide the fastest 802.11ac gigabit data speeds and superb user experience for mobile devices and applications in a digital workplace. Designed with an integrated, 802.3bz Compliant, HPE SmartRate multi-gig Ethernet port to eliminate wired bottlenecks, these APs offer unmatched wireless performance and capacity. The unique and flexible dual-5 GHz architecture of the 340 series offers a way to double 5 GHz capacity where needed, without compromise or restrictions.

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.

Notes:: ¹ Initially, the 5 GHz radio will be limited to 1,733 Mbps. The proprietary extension (1024-QAM support) to enable MCS10 and MCS11 and rates up to 2,166 Mbps will be introduced in a later SW release. Please check SW release notes for this upgrade. With 1,733 Mbps, the aggregate peak numbers drop to 2.5 Gbps (dual-radio) and 3.5 Gbps (dual-5 GHz).

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 2x2 operation (AP in dual-radio mode) or 1x1 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)

Mechanical

• Dimensions and weight (unit, excluding mount accessories):

- 22.5 cm (W) x 22.4 cm (D) x 5.2 cm (H)
