Description

HPE AP-303 IEEE 802.11ac 1.20 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point

The HPE AP-303 IEEE 802.11ac 1.20 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point is engineered to deliver reliable, high-performance wireless networking in medium-density environments. Whether you’re equipping classrooms, campuses, healthcare facilities, or busy office spaces, this access point offers enterprise-grade coverage, robust security, and easy management to keep devices connected and productive. With up-to-date Wi‑Fi technology and a scalable design, the AP-303 reduces dead zones, supports modern applications, and simplifies deployment for IT teams managing growing networks.

  • High-speed, dual‑band performance: Powered by IEEE 802.11ac technology, the AP-303 supports dual-band operation with a combined throughput up to 1.20 Gbit/s. This means fast, reliable connections for streaming, collaboration apps, and cloud-based services across devices in classrooms, meeting spaces, or mid-size offices.
  • Advanced client efficiency with MU‑MIMO and beamforming: The AP-303 leverages multi-user MIMO and targeted beamforming to serve multiple clients simultaneously and focus signals toward active devices. This improves capacity, reduces waiting times, and enhances user experiences during peak usage, such as during campus-wide lectures or corporate training sessions.
  • Seamless management and scalability: Designed to integrate with HPE Aruba Central for cloud-based provisioning or on‑premises controllers, the AP-303 provides centralized policy control, automated updates, and streamlined deployment across multiple locations. It scales gracefully as your network grows, helping IT teams maintain consistent security and performance.
  • Compact, discreet design for flexible deployments: The ceiling-mountable enclosure is engineered for minimal visual impact while delivering dependable performance in dense spaces. Its compact footprint simplifies installation in classrooms, hallways, conference rooms, or retail environments without sacrificing coverage.
  • Robust security and guest access features: With enterprise-grade security options, including WPA2/WPA3, 802.1X authentication, guest access with isolation, and built-in protection against common threats, the AP-303 helps protect sensitive data while offering convenient guest connectivity.

how to install HPE AP-303

  • Plan your deployment: Conduct a site survey to identify coverage gaps, interference sources, and optimal AP placement. Aim for central locations in rooms or corridors to maximize signal reach while minimizing obstructions.
  • Prepare power and connectivity: Use a PoE-capable network switch or a PoE injector to supply power. Ensure cable runs are appropriately rated and terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors for reliability and safety.
  • Mount the access point: Install the AP-303 on the ceiling or wall according to the manufacturer’s mounting kit. Verify secure mounting, cable routing, and clearance from ventilation fans or heat sources to maintain performance and longevity.
  • Adopt and configure: Connect the AP to your management platform (cloud-based Aruba Central or on-premises controller). Adopt the device, assign it to the correct site, and apply approved SSIDs, security policies, and network roles to align with your IT standards.
  • Validate performance and adjust: Run speed tests and device distribution checks across the coverage area. Fine-tune channel selections, transmit power, and band steering rules to reduce interference and optimize user experience.
