Arista C-330 Wi-Fi 6E Access Point

The Arista C-330 is a Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) indoor access point with three concurrent access radios (2×2:2 MIMO on each of 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz), plus a dedicated fourth radio for WIPS monitoring and scheduled client connectivity testing, and an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio. The 6GHz radio opens access to 1200 MHz of spectrum in the UNII-5 through UNII-8 sub-bands, delivering up to 2.4 Gbps on 6GHz alone and providing a clean, interference-free path for high-throughput client associations in environments where 2.4GHz and 5GHz carry the legacy device load. With up to 1280 simultaneous client associations across all three bands, the C-330 is positioned for high-density common-area deployments: conference centres, student unions, transport hubs, and large open-plan offices where Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 dual-band APs reach client association limits before exhausting RF capacity.

Two 2.5 GbE uplink ports, both PoE+ (802.3at) compliant and MACsec capable, connect the AP to the upstream campus network with built-in link redundancy and hardware-accelerated encryption across the LAN segment. Power draw is 24.35W maximum, well within the 30W budget of standard 802.3at PoE+ switch ports, and compatible with the Arista 720D and 720XP campus switch families that power the Cognitive Campus infrastructure. Memory resources (1 GB LPDDR4 RAM, 32 MB NOR flash, and 8 GB eMMC) support the full CloudVision CV-CUE stack on the AP, with 8 GB eMMC providing local storage for event logs, diagnostic captures, and firmware update staging. The LPDDR4 memory type specifically indicates lower power consumption during memory-intensive operations compared to standard DDR4, which contributes to keeping total AP power draw within the PoE+ budget.
