HPE Aruba Networking introduces high-capacity Wi-Fi 7 access points
Hewlett Packard
Enterprise launched Wi-Fi 7 access points (APs) that provide up to 30% more capacity for wireless traffic than competitive products.
The new APs also strengthen network security and improve location-based
services to provide connectivity for demanding enterprise AI, Internet of
things (IoT), location, and security applications.
As a market leader in enterprise wireless, and
18-time Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN
Infrastructure, HPE Aruba Networking continues its innovation with new Wi-Fi 7
APs that exceed the requirements of the standard. This performance is achieved
with HPE’s patented ultra tri-band hardware technology, which fully utilizes
the 5GHz and 6GHz bands to automatically and continuously eliminate wasteful
contention between the bands.
“With more than two
decades of Wi-Fi innovation leadership, HPE Aruba Networking continues our
commitment to delivering customers the reliable, secure, high-performance
connectivity they need to meet their business objectives,” said, Stuart
Strickland, wireless chief technology officer, HPE Aruba Networking,
“With more than two decades of Wi-Fi innovation leadership, HPE Aruba
Networking continues our commitment to delivering customers the reliable,
secure, high-performance connectivity they need to meet their business
objectives, which can range from immersive fan experiences to automated
manufacturing processes,” said Stuart Strickland, wireless chief technology
officer, HPE Aruba Networking. “Our Wi-Fi 7 APs go far beyond improvements in
performance and efficiency to become an intelligent IoT hub, securing the
network, distributing the workload, characterizing the environment, and providing
a foundation for business and operational analytics.”
The new HPE Aruba Networking APs, managed by HPE Aruba Networking Central, eliminate the need to deploy an IoT network
overlay by providing built-in hardware support for a wide range of IoT
protocols such as Zigbee and Bluetooth, or through dual USB interfaces. The APs
also provide a secure connectivity platform for the increase in IoT devices organizations
are deploying at the network edge, such as cameras, motor sensors, energy
sensors and motion detectors.
As IoT devices offer a rich source of data for AI
training and inferencing, an extensive ecosystem of business solutions from
over 350 HPE technology partners can help organizations efficiently capture,
secure, transport and leverage IoT-sourced data to deliver real-time business
insights, along with helping build their AI data lakes. With these innovations,
this data can be used to train and activate their AI models for solutions such
as predictive maintenance, digital twins, and personalized customer user
experiences.
“Optimized connectivity is now mission critical
and customers always want to make smart investments in their wireless
infrastructure, considering the need to future-proof the network and provide
desired business outcomes,” said Chris DePuy, principal analyst at 650 Group.
“With the huge growth in IoT devices, demand for ubiquitous security, and the
need for backward compatibility to accommodate legacy devices, Wi-Fi 7 provides
the processing power, flexibility, speed, reliability and capacity that today’s
enterprises are looking for when making network upgrade decisions.”
