Does anyone have experience with the Aruba 303 AP in comparision to the 305 AP?
We've been using 205 and 305 APs until now but saw that the 303 is a lot less expensive than the 305.
We are in an enterprise setting and don't have a high density, so for example one building with about 60 Users currently has 8 APs deployed to offer full coverage. In other buildings it might be little more dense in the future but we don't have any open space offices or something like that.
We talked to two partners and they both suggested that the 303 should be good enough for our requirements, so we are now thinking on standardizing on the 303 because of the lower cost which would probably allow us to deploy more APs quicker and offer greater coverage overall.
Aruba however tries to talk us into staying with the 305 as the 303 "was only made to have a cheap offering to win in biddings and has worse hardware / a slower CPU". However they couldn't really give us any facts why the 303 would be worse for our requirements than the 305.
So I am asking, does anyone have experience with both models or any advice to share? Anything to watch out for using the 303 instead of 305?
