What is a primary difference between Aruba 310 and Aruba 340 Series APs?

Question

Options

• AAruba 340s support higher density deployments that Aruba 310s.
• BAruba 340s support outdoor deployments, and Aruba 310s support indoor ones.
• CAruba 340s support 802.11ac, and Aruba 310s support 802.11b/g/n only.
• DAruba 340s support 802.11ax, and Aruba 310s support 802.11ac.

• A
  84% (48)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  9% (5)

Explanation

Option A is correct because the Aruba 340 Series is built for high-density environments - it features 4x4:4 MU-MIMO (four spatial streams) compared to the 310's 2x2:2 configuration, allowing it to serve significantly more concurrent clients in crowded venues like auditoriums, stadiums, and open offices.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is incorrect - both the 310 and 340 are indoor access points; Aruba's outdoor APs are separate product lines (e.g., the 370 Series).
• C is incorrect - both series support 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5); neither is limited to 802.11b/g/n.
• D is incorrect - 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) belongs to a different generation entirely (e.g., Aruba 510/530/550 Series); both 310 and 340 are 802.11ac Wave 2 platforms.

Memory tip: Think of the 340 as the "denser" sibling - the higher model number brings higher spatial stream count (4x4 vs 2x2), which directly translates to higher-density capability. When you see "340," think "4 streams → 4× the density headroom."
