Radio Integrated Antenna Aruba Instant Controller IAP-325-RW (JW325A) MU-MIMO

Designed for high-density environments, the Aruba IAP-325-RW is a dual-radio 802.11ac Wave 2 access point that supports 4x4 MU-MIMO technology, delivering aggregate wireless speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps. It features integrated Bluetooth Low Energy for location-based services, advanced RF management, and flexible deployment modes including controller-managed and Instant operation. Ideal for enterprises, schools, and healthcare facilities, this AP offers robust security, high capacity, and seamless roaming with ClientMatch technology.

• 4x4 MU-MIMO with aggregate data rates up to 2.5 Gbps
• Integrated BLE radio for location services and beacon management
• Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) to minimize interference
• Flexible deployment: Instant, controller-managed, or remote AP modes
• Enhanced security with WIPS, TPM, and SecureJack support

• Dual radio: 5 GHz (802.11ac, up to 1.733 Gbps) and 2.4 GHz (802.11n, up to 800 Mbps)
• 8 integrated downtilt omnidirectional antennas
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio for proximity and wayfinding services
• Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE support (802.3af/at)
• USB 2.0 host port for additional peripherals
• Centralized or distributed management via ArubaOS or InstantOS

The IAP-325-RW leverages 802.11ac Wave 2 standards with Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO), allowing simultaneous data transmission to multiple devices. It uses Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) for dynamic RF optimization, AppRF for application visibility and control, and ClientMatch for intelligent device steering. Integrated spectrum analysis and WIPS provide continuous monitoring and threat mitigation.

The access point operates by receiving and transmitting wireless signals using four spatial streams per band. It uses beamforming and MIMO technology to focus signals toward client devices, improving reliability and throughput. The built-in BLE radio broadcasts signals to compatible mobile devices for indoor positioning, while the ARM technology continuously scans and adjusts channels and power levels to avoid interference.

The Aruba IAP-325-RW is ideal for high-density environments such as:

• Enterprise offices and campuses
• Educational institutions and lecture halls
• Healthcare facilities for patient tracking and communication
• Retail spaces for customer engagement and analytics
• Hospitality venues providing high-speed guest Wi-Fi

• Superior performance in high-density deployments with MU-MIMO and 4x4 architecture
• Seamless roaming and optimized client connectivity with ClientMatch technology
• Integrated BLE simplifies deployment of location-based services without additional hardware
• Advanced security features including WIPS, TPM, and SecureJack for secure tunneling
• Flexible management options reduce operational complexity and cost

Q: What is the difference between IAP-325-RW and AP-325?

A: The IAP-325-RW operates in Aruba Instant mode, which allows self-configuration and distributed management, while the AP-325 is typically controller-managed.

Q: Does this access point support Power over Ethernet?

A: Yes, it supports both 802.3af and 802.3at PoE. Full functionality is available with 802.3at PoE.

Q: Can I use external antennas with the IAP-325-RW?

A: No, the IAP-325-RW model has integrated antennas. For external antenna options, consider the IAP-324 series.

Q: What is the maximum number of clients supported?

A: Each radio supports up to 255 associated clients and 16 BSSIDs.

Q: Is the Bluetooth radio configurable?

A: Yes, the BLE radio can be enabled or disabled via software configuration.

• Ensure proper ventilation and avoid obstructing the AP’s vents.
• Use only approved power adapters or PoE injectors to avoid damage.
• Verify regulatory domain compatibility before deployment.
• For ceiling mounting, use recommended kits to ensure stability and optimal signal coverage.
• Keep firmware updated to latest version for security and performance enhancements.
