About the Aruba IAP-315 Wi-Fi 5 Indoor Access Point (JW811A)
The Aruba IAP-315 (JW811A) is a dual-band indoor access point with a dedicated third radio for monitoring and spectrum analysis, delivering dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz coverage plus 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Air Monitor capability with up to 4 spatial streams and MU-MIMO support on the 5 GHz band. This Wi-Fi 5 access point combines IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 performance with backward compatibility across 802.11a/b/g/n standards, making it a versatile choice for enterprise indoor deployments that demand both high throughput and real-time spectrum visibility.
Network engineers and IT procurement teams will appreciate the flexible management architecture: the Aruba IAP-315 supports controller-less Aruba Instant mode, traditional hardware or virtual Aruba Mobility Controller deployments, and cloud-based Aruba Central for hybrid and remote-first environments. Built-in security includes WPA2-Personal, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA3, 802.1X authentication, and AES encryption, alongside integrated WIPS and WIDS capabilities. The unit supports up to 16 simultaneous SSIDs per radio and features intelligent RF management through Adaptive Radio Management (ARM), ClientMatch, AppRF, and beamforming. With its low-profile plenum-rated indoor form factor, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports (one PoE in, one standard), and support for 802.3af and 802.3at PoE+ power, the JW811A integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability across the standard 0°C to 40°C operating temperature range.
