Engaging experiences delivered with automation and security.
With a maximum concurrent data rate of 2 Gbps (5GHz: 1,733 Mbps and 2.4GHz: 300 Mbps), the 318 Series can quickly add capacity to existing or new wireless networks in temperaturesensitive, dust-ridden, or other extreme environments. The 318 Series also comes with multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), 4 spatial streams (4SS), and optional 160 MHz channel bandwidth (VHT160) for the highest performance and density applications.
MU-MIMO AWARE CLIENT OPTIMIZATION
The 318 Series includes Aruba’s patented ClientMatch technology to eliminate sticky client issues while optimizing 802.11ac Wave 2 performance. These APs continuously gather session performance metrics to steer mobile devices to the best-available AP - even while users roam. With MUMIMO awareness, ClientMatch can group MU-MIMO capable devices together to increase network capacity and efficiency. ClientMatch also participates in Aruba’s AI-powered Mobility solution.
IOT-READY
The 318 Series includes an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio to simplify the deployment and management of location services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT sensors. This allows organizations to leverage the 318 Series as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources.
SIMPLE AND SECURE ACCESS
To simplify policy enforcement, the Aruba 318 Series uses Aruba’s policy enforcement firewall (PEF) feature to encapsulate all traffic from the AP to the Mobility Controller (or Gateway) for end-to-end encryption and inspection. Policies are applied based on user role, device type, applications, and location. This reduces the manual configuration of SSIDs, VLANs and ACLs. PEF also serves as the underlying technology for Aruba Dynamic Segmentation.
