HP IAP-325Product 2.5 Gbps access point

SKU CH-1HJ9-R14WS MPN IAP-325Product

Delivers 802.11ac wireless connectivity with 1,733 Mbps on 5 GHz and 800 Mbps on 2.4 GHz for high-density environments

  • Aggregated throughput of 2.5 Gbps for high-density Wi-Fi
  • 1733 Mbps on 5 GHz band for fast client connections
  • 800 Mbps on 2.4 GHz band for legacy device support
  • MU-MIMO with 4 spatial streams serves multiple users simultaneously
  • Enhanced ClientMatch steers clients to the best radio

Aruba Instant IAP-325 Wireless Access Point

The Aruba Instant IAP-325 is a 320 series wireless access point delivering aggregated data rates of 2.5 Gbps across dual bands. It operates at 1,733 Mbps on 5 GHz and 800 Mbps on 2.4 GHz with 4 spatial streams and MU-MIMO support. Enhanced ClientMatch and Aruba Beacon technologies optimise connectivity in extremely high-density environments.

Suits high-density deployments needing 802.11ac

This access point fits venues such as auditoriums, lecture halls, and stadiums where many clients connect simultaneously. It is not for buyers who require operation beyond the 802.11ac standard or aggregated throughput above 2.5 Gbps. Networks needing newer protocol features or higher band capacity should consider other solutions.

2.5 Gbps aggregated data rate decides fit

The combined 1,733 Mbps on 5 GHz and 800 Mbps on 2.4 GHz sets the total wireless capacity at 2.5 Gbps. If the deployment demands more concurrent bandwidth than this figure provides, the IAP-325 will not meet the requirement. Verify that 2.5 Gbps aggregate throughput satisfies the design before selecting this model.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the IAP-325 and what step is often missed?

Secure the AP to a wall or ceiling using the appropriate mounting bracket, then snap the unit into place; the step often missed is engaging the locking latch until it clicks.

What component will need replacement first on the IAP-325?

The internal radio amplifiers and antennas are solid-state with no moving parts; the power supply is the only field-replaceable component that typically ages first.

What limit appears first on the IAP-325 under sustained heavy load?

The aggregated 2.5 Gbps throughput ceiling — 1,733 Mbps on 5 GHz plus 800 Mbps on 2.4 GHz — is reached before thermal throttling engages.
