JW325A Aruba Wireless Access Point 2.5Gbps Aggregate Rate With ClientMatch

HPE Aruba Instant IAP-325-RW (JW325A): High-Performance Wi-Fi 5 with Built-in Intelligence

The HPE Aruba Instant IAP-325-RW is an advanced 802.11ac Wave 2 (Wi-Fi 5) Wireless Access Point with integrated antennas, offering both superior performance and unparalleled simplicity. Designed for high-density environments, it delivers robust and secure Wi-Fi without the need for a separate hardware controller, making it ideal for businesses seeking enterprise-grade features with easy deployment. The "RW" designation signifies its suitability for various regions, including the Rest of World domain.

Optimized Wi-Fi 5 for High Density

This Aruba Instant AP features 4x4:4 MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, providing a combined peak data rate of up to 2.5 Gbps (1.733 Gbps on 5GHz, 800 Mbps on 2.4GHz). This capability ensures efficient data transmission to multiple devices simultaneously, significantly enhancing network capacity and user experience in demanding environments like large offices, schools, and healthcare facilities, surpassing the capabilities of many traditional Cisco Wireless AP solutions.

Intelligent RF Management & Client Optimization

Leveraging Aruba's Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology, the IAP-325-RW automatically assigns channel and power settings, providing airtime fairness and ensuring optimal performance by staying clear of RF interference. ClientMatch technology dynamically groups Wave 2 clients to the best performing APs, boosting network efficiency. The integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio enables location-aware services and simplified management of Aruba Beacons, adding value beyond a typical Cisco Network Switch.

Flexible Deployment with Instant Mode

The "Instant" in IAP-325-RW highlights its unique controller-less architecture. One AP can automatically distribute its network configuration to other Instant APs in the network, creating a fully functional Wi-Fi cluster within minutes. This simplifies deployment and management, making it an excellent choice for businesses without dedicated IT staff, while still offering the flexibility to convert to controller-managed mode for larger, more complex deployments.

Robust Connectivity and Security

Equipped with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, the IAP-325-RW supports link aggregation for enhanced uplink performance and redundancy, ensuring consistent network availability. It's powered by 802.3at PoE+ for full functionality, or 802.3af PoE in a power-save mode. Integrated security features, including Wireless Intrusion Protection (WIP) and a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), safeguard your network against advanced threats.
