Product Overview
The HP Aruba AP-303H (IL) TAA Unified Wireless Access Point is purpose-built for indoor environments requiring cost-effective, high-performance connectivity—such as hospitality venues, branch offices, and multi-user dwellings. With dual-band performance, it supports IEEE 802.11ac with concurrent radio data rates of up to 867 Mbps on 5 GHz and 400 Mbps on 2.4 GHz frequencies. It includes two directional antennas with 5.6 dBi gain and supports advanced wireless features such as 2x2:2 MU-MIMO, transmit beamforming, and integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) with Aruba Beacons capability for location-aware services.
Engineered for flexibility, the AP-303H offers robust connectivity through one uplink and three local Gigabit Ethernet ports, including two pass-through ports. This model supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and operates efficiently with a typical consumption of 9.7W, peaking at 15.6W. Enhanced security is built-in through support for FIPS-compliant encryption, wireless intrusion protection, and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) functions.
Certified for U.S. government use (TAA compliant) and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, the AP-303H ensures a strong return on investment for organizations prioritizing secure, reliable, and scalable wireless access. The included single-gang wall-box makes mounting simple in space-constrained environments, while compliance with a wide range of regulatory standards ensures broad deployment compatibility.
