Aruba JX974A Data Networking

Multi-functional 360 Series 802.11ac Wave 2 outdoor access points deliver cost-effective wireless connectivity to mobile and IoT devices in a wide range of outdoor and warehouse environments.

With a maximum aggregate data rate of 1.2 Gbps (1.167 Gbps), the 360 Series comes with multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), 4 spatial streams (4SS), and optional 160MHz channel bandwidth (VHT160) to quickly add performance and capacity to existing or wireless networks.

EXTREME WEATHER RESILIENCY

Able to survive in harsh outdoor environments and provide connectivity in warehouses and distribution centers, the 360 Series can withstand exposure to high and low temperature extremes, wind speeds up to 165 mph, and tolerate persistent moisture, precipitation, and dust and salt sprays for extended periods of time. All electrical interfaces include industrial strength surge protection.

MU-MIMO AWARE CLIENT OPTIMIZATION

The 360 Series includes Aruba's patented ClientMatch technology to eliminate sticky client issues while optimizing 802.11ac Wave 2 performance. These APs continuously gather session performance metrics to steer mobile devices to the best-available AP - even while users roam. With MU-MIMO awareness, ClientMatch can group MU-MIMO capable devices together to increase network capacity and efficiency. ClientMatch also participates in Aruba's AI-powered Mobilitysolution.

IOT-READY

Like all Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs, the 360 Series includes an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio to simplify the deployment and management of location services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT sensors. This allows organizations to leverage the 360 Series as an IoT platform, which eliminates the need for an overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources.

ARUBA SECURE INFRASTRUCTURE

The Aruba 360 Series includes components of Aruba's 360 Secure Fabric to help protect user authentication and wireless traffic. Select capabilities include:

WPA3 and Enhanced Open

Support for stronger encryption and authentication is provided via the latest version of WPA for enterprise protected networks.

Enhanced Open offers seamless new protection for users connecting to open networks where each session is automatically encrypted to protect user passwords and data on guest networks.

WPA 2-MPSK

MPSK enables simpler passkey management for WPA2 devices - should the Wi-Fi password on one device or device type change, no additional changes are needed for other devices. Requires ClearPass Policy Manager.

VPN Tunnels

In Remote AP (RAP) and IAP-VPN deployments, the Aruba 360 Series can be used to establish a secure SSL/IPSec VPN tunnel to a Mobility Controller that is acting as a VPN concentrator.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

For enhanced device assurance, all Aruba APs have an installed TPM for secure storage of credentials and keys, and boot code.

SIMPLE AND SECURE ACCESS

To simplify policy enforcement, the Aruba 360 Series uses Aruba's policy enforcement firewall (PEF) feature to encapsulate all traffic from the AP to the Mobility Controller (or Gateway) for end-to-end encryption and inspection. Policies are applied based on user role, device type, applications, and location. This reduces the manual configuration of SSIDs, VLANs and ACLs. PEF also serves as the underlying technology for Aruba Dynamic Segmentation.
