The Aruba 320 Series AP-325 represents the pinnacle of 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless technology, delivering exceptional performance for ultra-high-density environments. This enterprise-grade access point features 4x4 MU-MIMO technology across both radios, achieving unprecedented aggregate data rates of 2.5 Gbps (1.733 Gbps in 5GHz + 800 Mbps in 2.4GHz). With integrated Bluetooth for IoT services, advanced RF management, and flexible deployment options, this Aruba access point is engineered for organizations requiring maximum wireless capacity and reliability. The AP-325 model includes eight integrated downtilt antennas optimized for ceiling-mounted deployments.
The AP-325 access point incorporates cutting-edge wireless technologies including 802.11ac Wave 2 with MU-MIMO, which enables simultaneous data transmission to multiple clients. It supports VHT80 channel bandwidth for increased throughput and features Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) for automatic channel and power optimization. The AP utilizes AppRF technology for application visibility and control, plus integrated wireless intrusion protection for enhanced security. With support for both controller-based and Instant mode deployments, this versatile AP adapts to various network architectures.
The AP-325 operates by establishing multiple wireless networks (SSIDs) that authenticate and connect client devices. It employs sophisticated radio frequency management to automatically select optimal channels and power settings. The access point communicates with wireless controllers (in managed mode) or self-organizes with other Instant APs (in Instant mode) to create a cohesive wireless network infrastructure. Data is encrypted and forwarded to the network core while applying quality of service policies and security measures. The integrated Bluetooth radio simultaneously enables location services and IoT connectivity.
The Aruba 320 Series is specifically designed for extreme high-density environments including large enterprise offices, educational campuses, conference centers, stadiums, and healthcare facilities. This access point excels in deployments where maximum wireless capacity is required without compromising performance. The integrated IoT capabilities make it particularly valuable for organizations implementing location-based services, asset tracking, or mobile engagement solutions. This Aruba AP is also well-suited for retail environments requiring both customer connectivity and proximity marketing capabilities.

The Aruba 320 Series access point offers several distinct advantages over competing solutions. Its dual 4x4 MU-MIMO configuration provides superior performance in extreme high-density environments compared to standard 3x3 or 2x2 APs. The integrated Bluetooth radio simplifies IoT deployments by eliminating the need for separate beacons or infrastructure. Aruba's ClientMatch technology ensures optimal client connectivity by automatically steering devices to the best available AP based on capabilities and location. With dual Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting Link Aggregation, the AP-325 can achieve up to 2 Gbps uplink throughput, eliminating potential bottlenecks. The flexible deployment options (controller-managed or Instant mode) allow organizations to choose the management approach that best fits their operational requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the AP-325 and AP-324 models?
A: The AP-325 features eight integrated antennas while the AP-324 has four RP-SMA connectors for external antennas. The AP-325 is typically preferred for standard indoor deployments, while the AP-324 offers flexibility for specialized antenna requirements.
Q: Can the AP-325 operate without a dedicated wireless controller?
A: Yes, the AP-325 can operate in Aruba Instant mode, where one AP acts as a virtual controller, managing other Instant APs in the network without requiring a physical controller.
Q: What power source is required for full functionality?
A: For full functionality (including both radios at maximum power, USB port, and second Ethernet port), 802.3at PoE or DC power is required. With 802.3af PoE, the AP enters a power-saving mode with reduced capabilities.
Q: Does this access point support mesh networking?
A: Yes, the Aruba 320 Series supports secure enterprise mesh networking for extending wireless coverage to areas without Ethernet connectivity.
Q: What is the maximum number of clients supported?
A: Each radio supports up to 255 associated client devices, with a total of 16 BSSIDs available across both radios.
