HPE Aruba Networking JW327A Instant IAP-325 802.11n/ac Dual Band Wireless Access Point

Compact dual-band access point

The JW327A is an Aruba Instant IAP-325 built for indoor wireless coverage on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. It supports 802.11n and 802.11ac clients in a single white chassis. The unit targets small to mid-size offices that need controller-less deployment.

Steady throughput across two radios

Both radios operate simultaneously to balance client load between the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands during sustained traffic. The Instant architecture distributes management tasks across the access points themselves, avoiding a central controller bottleneck. Performance scales as more IAP-325 units are added to the same virtual controller cluster.

802.11ac wave 2 support decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 802.11ac capability on the 5 GHz radio. Buyers whose client devices only support 802.11n will not gain the higher modulation rates this model provides. Environments requiring 802.11ax or later should select a different platform.
