Explanation
Aruba 300 Series APs have integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radios, which makes them the correct tool for managing Aruba Beacons - they can scan for, communicate with, and manage BLE beacon devices directly. AirWave (A) is a network management platform focused on Wi-Fi infrastructure monitoring and reporting, not BLE beacon control. Mobility Master (C) is the centralized controller management layer for Aruba wireless networks and handles APs and policies, not BLE devices. AirPass (D) is not a real Aruba beacon management product - it may be included as a plausible-sounding distractor to trip up candidates.
Memory tip: Think "BLE needs BLE" - Aruba Beacons are Bluetooth devices, so you need hardware with a BLE radio to manage them. The 300 Series APs are notable specifically because they include that built-in BLE radio, making them the bridge between the Wi-Fi infrastructure and Bluetooth beacons.
