Aruba JW813A IAP-315-US 802.11ac Wave 2 Dual-Radio 4×4 MIMO Instant Access Point, Integrated BLE, PoE 802.3af/at, ceiling tile/wall mount, includes PoE injector

Aruba JW813A IAP-315-US 802.11ac Wave 2 Dual-Radio 4×4 MIMO Instant Access Point, Integrated BLE, PoE 802.3af/at, ceiling tile/wall mount, includes PoE injector (US regulatory domain)

Condition: Used, excellent shape; pulled from a working environment. Fully functional; includes PoE injector and Ethernet patch lead —mounting kit as in pictures.

The Aruba IAP-315-US is a high-performance 802.11ac Wave 2 access point designed for dense office, education, and retail deployments. As an Instant AP, it forms a controller-less cluster in minutes—one unit becomes the virtual controller and manages the rest. The 315 features dual radios with 4×4 MU-MIMO capability for high client capacity and robust RF performance, plus an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio for beacons and asset/location services. It supports PoE power (802.3af/at), air-time fairness, band steering, and role-based access with Aruba Instant features. This unit ships in the US regulatory domain (-US) and comes with a PoE injector for easy single-cable installs.

Features

• 802.11ac Wave 2 dual-radio AP with 4×4 MIMO and MU-MIMO for high client density

• Aruba Instant (controller-less) deployment; can be converted to controller-managed (CAP) if desired*

• Integrated BLE radio for beacons, proximity, and IoT integrations

• Smart RF features: band steering, airtime fairness, adaptive radio management (ARM), client match

• Gigabit Ethernet uplink(s) with LACP link aggregation support (model series)

• PoE 802.3af/at input; runs on af, at recommended for full feature set (e.g., USB power, max radio features)

• Security: WPA2/WPA3 (Instant OS dependent), 802.1X, guest portals, role-based firewalling

• Flexible mounting: ceiling/grid or wall using Aruba AP mount kits (not always included)

• USB host port (feature availability depends on power mode)

• Instant GUI & app for quick provisioning, VLANs, SSIDs, and tunneling options

Applications / Spheres of Application

• SMB to enterprise WLANs needing fast, simple controller-less deployment

• Schools & higher-ed lecture rooms and labs with many concurrent clients

• Retail & hospitality guest Wi-Fi with captive portal and BLE beacons

• Healthcare admin areas / clinics (non-life-critical networking)

• Branch offices and work-from-anywhere extensions using site-to-site tunnels

Cross-Referenced Models (same series / close siblings)

• AP-315 / IAP-315 (this listing; -US domain)

• AP-314 (external-antenna version of the 315)

• AP-325/AP-335 (higher-end 320/330 series)

• AP-305/IAP-305 (similar generation, 3×3:3 class)

Comparable Products (other vendors)

• Cisco Aironet/Catalyst 2800/3800 series

• Ruckus R510/R610 series

• Ubiquiti UniFi nanoHD/HD (Wave 2 class)

• Fortinet/FortiAP 22x/32x Wave 2 models

Integration & System Use

• Instant setup: Power with the included PoE injector or a PoE switch, connect uplink to your VLAN, browse to the AP’s Instant UI, and create SSIDs.

• Power planning: Operates on 802.3af; for all features (USB power, full radio performance) use 802.3at.

• Mounting: Standard Aruba ceiling/wall mount kits (proprietary brackets). Verify kit presence or source separately.

• Management options:

  • Aruba Instant local cluster (default)

  • Convert to controller-managed (ArubaOS) if you have Mobility Controllers*

  • Central cloud management support for Instant clusters (license required; version dependent)

*Conversion between Instant and controller-based modes follows Aruba procedures and may require specific firmware and licensing.
