HPE JW157

Aruba (AP‑103H) 802.11n Dual‑Radio Wireless Access Point

The HPE Aruba JW157 (AP‑103H) is a dual-band 802.11n access point featuring integrated omni‑directional antennas and support for up to 300 Mbps on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Ideal for hospitality, education, and branch-office deployments, this compact wall-mounted unit includes client steering (ClientMatch™), cellular coexistence (ACC), and PoE support. With two secure downstream Fast‑Ethernet ports and a pass‑through RJ‑45 connector, it offers both wireless and wired connectivity options. Mountable on single-gang electrical or data wall boxes, the AP‑103H delivers managed Wi-Fi coverage without complexity.

Features

The integrated design installs neatly into standard wall boxes and houses two radios operating simultaneously with 2×2:2 MIMO. It delivers up to 300 Mbps per band while supporting essential RF features like ARM™, DFS, STBC, LDPC, and short guard intervals to ensure stable performance in moderately dense environments . Wired support includes one PoE‑powered Gigabit uplink port (802.3af), two secure downstream 10/100 Mbps ports (for in-room devices), and a passive pass-through port for legacy cabling setups . Power can also be supplied via optional 12‑V DC adapter if PoE is unavailable

Advanced Options

Designed to optimize mobile client experience, the AP 103H leverages features such as DDM-guided ClientMatch steering and ACC to reduce LTE/3G interference and maintain high throughput across both bands . With robust hardware tuned for up to 32 clients per radio, it provides sufficient density for dormitory or hospitality settings. Thermal- and power-efficient design draws under ~9.4 W via PoE (idle ~3.5 W), with minimal latency and stable upward of 600+ combined Mbps throughput under typical load
