WI-FI ANTENNAS
|
| Antenna |
- Four (vertically polarized) integrated 2.4 GHz downtilt omni-directional antennas for 4×4 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 3.8dBi per antenna.
- Each 5 GHz radio chain has both a vertically and a horizontally polarized antenna element; AP software automatically and dynamically selects the best set of elements for each data packet transmitted or received.
- Four integrated vertically polarized 5 GHz downtilt omnidirectional antennas for 4×4 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 4.9dBi per antenna
- Four integrated horizontally polarized 5 GHz downtilt omni-directional antennas for 4×4 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 5.7dBi per antenna
- Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees.
- Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the effective per-antenna pattern is 1.6dBi in 2.4 GHz and 2.5dBi in 5 GHz.

FLEXIBLE OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT
|
| Controller-managed mode |
When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, Aruba 330 Series Access Points offer centralized configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement, and network services, as well as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding. |
| Aruba Instant mode |
In Aruba Instant mode, a single AP automatically distributes the network configuration to other Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply power-up one Instant AP, configure it over the air, and plug in the other APs – the entire process takes about five minutes. If WLAN requirements change, a built-in migration path allows 330 series Instant APs to become part of a WLAN that is managed by a Mobility Controller |
| Remote AP (RAP) |
for branch deployments |
| Air monitor (AM) |
for wireless IDS, rogue detection, and containment. |
POWER SOURCES AND POWER CONSUMPTION
|
| Power Sources |
- 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%
- Interface accepts 1.35/3.5-mm center-positive circular plug with 9.5-mm length
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): 48 Vdc (nominal) 802.3af/802.3at compliant source
- When using IPM, the AP may enter power-save mode with reduced functionality when powered by a PoE source (see details on Intelligent Power Monitoring in this datasheet)
- Without IPM the AP will apply some fixed restrictions when using PoE:
- The USB interface is disabled when using an 802.3at PoE power source
- The USB interface and second Ethernet port are disabled, and both radios operate in 1×1 mode when using an 802.3af POE power source
- Maximum (worst-case) power consumption: 25.3W (802.3at PoE), 13.2W (802.3af PoE) or 25W (DC)
- Excludes power consumed by external USB device (and internal overhead); this could add up to 5.9W (PoE or DC) for a 5W/1A USB device
- Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode: 10.9W (PoE or DC)
