Arista C-360 Wi-Fi 6E Access Point

The Arista C-360 is the high-density Wi-Fi 6E access point in the Cognitive Wi-Fi portfolio, built for environments where both client count and per-client throughput requirements are extreme simultaneously: conference venues, university lecture theatres, sports arenas, and enterprise trading floors where hundreds of clients associate per AP and each client demands video conferencing or application streaming bandwidth. Three concurrent 4×4:4 MIMO radios on 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz deliver up to 4.8 Gbps on the 6GHz band alone, with the AP's four-stream MIMO configuration able to serve 4 spatial streams simultaneously to individual Wi-Fi 6E clients, double the two-stream per-client throughput of the C-330's 2×2:2 radios. A dedicated fourth radio for WIPS monitoring and a built-in BLE radio are included alongside the three access radios.

Two 10 GbE uplink ports, both PoE++ (802.3bt) capable, provide the wired connectivity headroom that 4×4:4 tri-band MIMO requires. At 4.8 Gbps peak 6GHz throughput alone, a single 10 GbE uplink is necessary to avoid creating a wired bottleneck below the AP's wireless capacity; dual 10 GbE ports provide both sufficient bandwidth and link redundancy for mission-critical deployments. Power draw is 39W (802.3bt Class 6), requiring PoE++ switch ports as the upstream power source. Arista 720XP and 720XPM campus switches with built-in PoE++ are the natural pairing for C-360 deployments. Memory configuration includes 2×1 GB RAM and 1 GB flash, providing the headroom for local CloudVision CV-CUE management, diagnostic captures, and on-AP analytics across a high-density client population.
