| Marketing Information | The ruggedized Aruba 318 Series access points deliver Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) gigabit performance for client devices in harsh weatherprotected environments such as warehouses industrial freezers or stadiums.
With a maximum concurrent data rate of 2 Gbps (5GHz: 1733 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.
ARUBA SECURE INFRASTRUCTURE
The Aruba 318 Series includes components of Aruba's 360 Secure Fabric to help protect user authentication and wireless traffic. Select capabilities include:
WPA3 and Enhanced Open
Support for stronger encryption and authentication is provided via the latest version of WPA for enterprise protected networks.
Enhanced Open offers seamless new protection for users connecting to open networks where each session is automatically encrypted to protect user passwords and data on guest networks.
WPA2-MPSK
MPSK enables simpler passkey management for WPA2 devices - should the Wi-Fi password on one device or device type change no additional changes are needed for other devices. Requires ClearPass Policy Manager.
VPN Tunnels
In Remote AP (RAP) and IAP-VPN deployments the Aruba 318 Series can be used to establish a secure SSL/IPSec VPN tunnel to a Mobility Controller that is acting as a VPN concentrator.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
For enhanced device assurance all Aruba APs have an installed TPM for secure storage of credentials and keys and boot code. |
