Industrial design for harsh, weather-protected environments
The ruggedized Aruba 318 Series access points deliver Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) gigabit performance for client devices in extreme environments such as warehouses, industrial freezers, or for use in under-seat enclosures in stadiums and arenas.
Durable in harsh temperature environments
With hardened, industrial design, the 318 Series is purpose-built to survive in the harshest weather-protected situations. Ideal for environments that lack heating and cooling, this access point can quickly add capacity to existing or new wireless networks in temperature-sensitive, dust-ridden, or other extreme environments.
Highly secure and reliable
With support for WPA3 and Enhanced Open, the 318 Series access points offer greater security and guest encryption.
Consistent policies across all networks
Aruba Dynamic Segmentation automatically enforces consistent policies across wired and wireless networks to keep traffic, for any user or device, separate and secure, regardless of the application or service.
Flexible management options
Available management solutions include Aruba Central (available in cloud-managed and on-premises options), as well as Aruba AirWave, which supports multi-vendor networks. Access points can be deployed with zero-touch provisioning to reduce deployment time, centralize configuration, and simplify inventory management.

Choose Your Operating Mode
- As a unified AP, the Aruba 318 can be deployed with or without a controller and can be readily switched to accommodate changing network needs.
- Controller mode: When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, the Aruba 318 series APs offer centralized configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding, or
- Controllerless (Instant) mode: In Aruba Instant mode, a single AP automatically distributes the network configuration to other Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply power-up one Instant AP, configure it over the air, and plug in the other APs – Instant Network.
- Other functional modes include:
- Remote AP (RAP) mode for branch deployments
- Air monitor (AM) for wireless IDS, rogue detection and containment
- Spectrum analyzer, dedicated or hybrid, for identifying sources of RF interference
- Secure enterprise mesh
- Hybrid AP serves Wi-Fi clients and provides wireless intrusion protection and spectrum analysis.
For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba Activate service significantly reduces deployment time by automating device provisioning, firmware upgrades, and inventory management. With Aruba Activate, Unified APs are factory-shipped to any site and configure themselves when powered up.
