Aruba AP-303 (EG) 802.11ac Wave 2 Campus Access Point JZ317A

Identify the EG AP-303 order

JZ317A is the HPE Aruba AP-303 (EG), an indoor campus access point with two radios and internal antennas. It uses 802.11ac Wave 2 on 5 GHz and 802.11n on 2.4 GHz, with two spatial streams per radio. This ordering code identifies AP hardware; it does not identify an Instant On AP22 or a Wi-Fi 6 device.

Size the radio and wired connection together

The AP-303 platform supports radio rates up to 867 Mbps at 5 GHz and 300 Mbps at 2.4 GHz. These are physical-layer rates under the documented channel and client conditions, rather than an application-throughput promise. Its wired uplink is one Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port. Keep the single-port AP-303 distinct from AP-303P when a deployment needs a second Ethernet connection or downstream power.

Plan the power and mounting items

HPE’s electrical specifications support 802.3af PoE and compatible direct DC power, with power sources sold separately. Check the switch power budget, injector, adapter and regional mains cord against the proposed installation. The documented package includes a ceiling rail mounting adapter; confirm the offered package and select a different mount if the site uses another surface.

Confirm the regional and operating requirements

HPE distinguishes EG, IL, JP, RW and US ordering variants. Quote the full JZ317A code and installation country, rather than treating those suffixes as interchangeable. Verify the current regulatory approval and permitted channels for the receiving location. AP-303 can operate with ArubaOS controller management or in controller-less Instant mode; agree the actual release, controller compatibility and required management rights before deployment. This listing does not include a separate management subscription.

Review lifecycle before a replacement purchase

HPE’s WLAN platform matrix identifies AP-303 as end of sale and gives platform-level support milestones. Individual SKU dates can differ. Confirm the exact JZ317A support eligibility, software path, offered condition and replacement plan before ordering; an advertised condition does not restart manufacturer lifecycle dates. Request stock, lead time, warranty terms and the supplied accessories on the quotation.
