    Multifunctional 320 series wireless APs provide the best 802.11ac Wi-Fi connectivity anduser experience. Featuring Aruba Enhanced ClientMatch and Aruba Beacon technologies, the 320 series enables the highest capacity, performance, and efficiency in extremely high- density environments.

     

    With a maximum concurrent data rate of 1,733 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 800 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (aggregated date rate of 2.5 Gbps), 320 series APs deliver best-in-class next-generation .11ac Wi-Fi infrastructure for the highest density environments.

     

    The high performance and high density 802.11ac 320 series supports multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) and 4 spatial streams (4SS). It provides simultaneous multicast data transmission to multiple devices, maximizing data throughput and improving network efficiency.

     

    The 320 series includes the patent-pending Enhanced ClientMatch technology that extends the client steering technology with MU-MIMO client awareness. It automatically identifies MU-MIMO capable mobile devices and steers those devices to the closest MU-MIMO capable Aruba access point. By grouping MU-MIMO capable mobile devices together,the network starts taking advantage of the simultaneous transmission to these devices, increasing its overall capacity. These dynamic roaming policies that are based on device types, help customers achieve the best WLAN performance in a mixed device environment during the technology transition period.

    The 320 series has an integrated Bluetooth Aruba Beacon that simplifies the remote management of a network of large- scale battery-powered Aruba beacons while also providing advanced location and indoor way finding, and proximity- based push notification capabilities. It enables businessesto leverage mobility context to develop applications that will deliver an enhanced user experience and increase the value of the wireless network for organizations.

    Hi,

     

    I have an High Density project and I need to know what is the real quantity of users that this AP can handle in both radios.

     

    Thanks.

    Jess O. Ortiz,

     

    How many users an access point can handle depends on the environment (indoors, outdoors, auditorium, classroom) and the applications they will be running.  What is your high density application?

    Hi and thanks for your reply,

     

    Large venue coverage with a very high density of users.

    Apps are basic: Facebook, YouTube, What´s App, Instagram, more than nothing, Smartphone trafic (98.5%) and tablets (1%) and laptops (0.5%).

    We have a very high amount of interference in 2.4 but 5 GHz is clean.

     

    Thanks again.

    Hi Jess,

     

    As per the Datasheet, each Radio supports up to 255 clients. you can plan your deployment accordingly.

    Thanks!

    I just don´t see your comment, please, excuse me.

    I am thinking in this AP due to their high amount of Broadband available and also due to their capacity, but I want a more reliable source of information because some times these numbers are obtained in lab conditions; that´s why I ask this information.

     

    Thanks again.

    Jess O. Ortiz,

     

    The AP225 is the 802.11ac model that has enough horsepower and throughput for what you need for high density.  The AP325 is newer and supports 802.11ac wave 2, but there are not many client devices that can support 802.11ac wave 2 right now, so the AP225 as a hardware platform might be your best bet.  Please take a look at the Validated Reference Design for High Density here:  http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Validated-Reference-Design/High-Density-Wireless-Networks-for-Auditoriums/ta-p/155578 to determine how many users you can have on each access point in a high density situation.

    Joseph,

     

    Thanks for the reply and the resources, I am come back later of read the guide.

    I am going to put my hands on one of this AP (224/5).

    Do you know if 324/5 is available right now?

     

    Have a nice day!

    Yes, both are avaliable, we have received both 324 and 325. The 325s took an extra week they were backordered.

    Thanks Stainless:

     

    I am more above the 324, althought also I want to try the 325 ¬¬.

    Have you feel any diference in performance in users betwen 224 and 324?

     

    Regards!

    Jess O. Ortiz,

     

    The 325 should be faster than the 225, but with 802.11ac wave 2 clients.  There should not be much difference with 802.11ac wave 1 clients.
