About the Aruba AP-315 Wi-Fi 5 Indoor Access Point (JW797A)
The Aruba AP-315 (JW797A) is a Wi-Fi 5 indoor access point delivering a maximum aggregate data rate of 1.6 Gbps, positioning it as a mid-tier solution for organizations requiring reliable concurrent dual-radio coverage across enterprise campuses, office buildings, and distributed facilities.
Built on the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, the AP-315 combines a 4x4:4 MU-MIMO 5 GHz radio (up to 1300 Mbps) with a 2x2:2 MU-MIMO 2.4 GHz radio (up to 300 Mbps), integrated omnidirectional antennas, and dual-radio concurrent operation across both frequency bands. Aruba's architecture includes a dedicated spectrum and air monitor radio alongside Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for location and device proximity applications. The access point connects via a single 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet PoE port and includes one USB 2.0 connector, operating across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with enterprise-grade WPA3, WPA2, 802.1X, and AES encryption. The integrated WIDS/WIPS capability (RFProtect) provides additional security monitoring. The ceiling or wall-mountable indoor form factor operates reliably between 0°C and 50°C, and is certified by FCC, IC, and CE authorities.
Network engineers and IT procurement teams deploying Aruba wireless infrastructure will appreciate three flexible management modes: cloud-based Aruba Central, on-premises Aruba Mobility Controller, or controller-less Aruba Instant deployments. The JW797A supports both 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) power delivery, simplifying installation in environments where power constraints vary. For organizations standardizing on Aruba's ecosystem seeking cost-effective Wi-Fi 5 coverage without sacrificing enterprise security and multi-role radio capability, this access point delivers measurable density and performance.
