HPE Aruba Wireless Access Point AP-345-RW Multi Gigabit Ethernet 3.0Gbps AP For Stadiums / Auditoriums

HPE Aruba AP-345-RW (JZ031A): High-Performance Wi-Fi 5 for Dense Environments

The HPE Aruba AP-345-RW is a very high-performance 802.11ac Wave 2 (Wi-Fi 5) Wireless Access Point with internal antennas, designed to deliver blazing-fast gigabit speeds and superb user experience in the most demanding digital workplaces. The "RW" designation signifies its suitability for various regions, including the Rest of World domain.

Unmatched Wi-Fi 5 Performance & Capacity

This Aruba AP excels in high-density scenarios with its advanced 4x4:4 MU-MIMO capabilities, supporting up to 2.16 Gbps on the 5 GHz band and 800 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band, for a total aggregate peak data rate of 3.0 Gbps in dual-band mode. It can even be configured for an optional dual-5GHz mode, pushing aggregate rates to 4.3 Gbps for extreme capacity needs, outperforming many standard Cisco Wireless AP models.

Intelligent RF Optimization & Client Experience

Featuring Aruba's patented ClientMatch technology, the AP-345-RW intelligently groups 802.11ac Wave 2-capable devices onto the best-performing radio, ensuring optimal MU-MIMO efficiency and preventing slower clients from impacting network speed. Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enables location-based services and asset tracking, adding intelligent functionality beyond what a basic Cisco Network Switch can provide.

Multi-Gigabit Connectivity & Power Redundancy

Equipped with an integrated 802.3bz compliant HPE SmartRate multi-gigabit Ethernet port (up to 2.5 Gbps) and a secondary 1 Gigabit Ethernet port, the AP-345-RW eliminates wired bottlenecks. It supports 802.3at PoE+ and offers hitless PoE failover between the uplink ports, ensuring continuous operation for critical applications.

Flexible Deployment & Robust Security

The AP-345-RW offers flexible deployment options, capable of operating in either controller-based (ArubaOS) or controller-less (InstantOS) modes, adapting to various network architectures. With Aruba Secure Core, including Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage and integrated wireless intrusion protection, it provides comprehensive security against advanced threats.
