IAP‑305‑US Aruba CX 300 Series Instant Wireless Access Point Wi‑Fi 5 Wave 2, Dual Radio 802.11ac
The HPE Aruba Instant IAP‑305‑US (model JX946A) is a powerful entry-level 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi‑Fi 5 Wireless Access Point designed for medium‑density enterprise and SMB environments. Featuring dual‑band radios with 3×3:3 MU‑MIMO on the 5 GHz band and 2×2:2 on 2.4 GHz, it delivers up to 1.7 Gbps of total throughput—providing fast, reliable connectivity to multiple client devices simultaneously. With integrated omni‑directional antennas and Aruba advanced ClientMatch and Adaptive Radio Management technologies, it simplifies wireless management while optimizing network efficiency and user experience.
Features
The Aruba IAP‑305‑US operates in controller‑less Instant mode (or managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers), making deployment fast and scalable. Its built‑in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon supports location-based services and beacon management.
Advanced Options
Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) optimizes power use under PoE constraints by selectively disabling features like USB when needed. Integrated RF monitoring and intrusion detection ensure wireless network security without extra hardware.
