Overview:
The 320 Series Access Points deliver best-in-class next-generation Wi-Fi infrastructure for the highest density situations, with a maximum concurrent data rate of 1,733 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 600 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (aggregated data rate of 2.3 Gbps). Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) and four spatial Access Point streams are supported by the high-performance and high-density 802.11ac 320 series (4SS). It transmits data to several devices at the same time, increasing data speed and network efficiency. The 320 series incorporates upgraded ClientMatch technology, which combines MU-MIMO client awareness with client steering technology. It automatically detects MU-MIMO competent mobile devices and directs them to the nearest Aruba access point that supports MU-MIMO. The network begins when MU-MIMO capable mobile devices are grouped together.

WI-FI ANTENNAS
• AP-324/IAP-324: Four RP-SMA connectors for external dual band antennas. Internal loss between radio interface and external antenna connectors (due to diplexing circuitry): 2.5 dB in 2.4 GHz and 1.5 dB in 5 GHz.
• AP-325/IAP-325: Eight integrated downtilt omni- directional antennas for 4×4 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 4.0dBi in 2.4 GHz and 4.7dBi in 5 GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling- mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is ~ 30 degrees. Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the effective per-antenna pattern is 2.7dBi in 2.4GHz and 2.9dBi in 5GHz.
