Description
Designed with an integrated, 802.3bz compliant, HPE SmartRate multi-gig Ethernet port to eliminate wired bottlenecks, these APs offer unmatched wireless performance and capacity.
The unique and flexible dual-5GHz architecture of the 340 series offers a way to boost 5GHz capacity where needed.
Unique Benefits
- Unified AP – deploy with or without controller
- The 340 Series APs support both ArubaOS (controller-based) and InstantOS (controllerless) modes
- Dual Radio 4×4 802.11ac with Multi-User MIMO
- Supports up to 2,166 Mbps per 5 GHz radio and 800 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band
- Antenna polarization diversity for optimized RF performance
- Supports dual-5 GHz mode with isolated transmitters for better performance
- Manual or dynamic conversion of 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz depending on system load
- SmartRate uplink (E0): up to 2.5 Gbps with NBase-T / 802.3bz support
- Hitless PoE failover between Ethernet ports
- Built-in BLE radio for asset tracking and location services
- ACC (Advanced Cellular Coexistence) minimizes 3G/4G interference
- AppRF: DPI for over 1,500 apps – prioritize, block, or limit bandwidth
RF Management
- AirMatch: Automatically manages channel width, power, and channel selection
- ARM: Ensures airtime fairness and interference avoidance
