HPE Aruba Networking Pushes New Generation Wi Fi 7 Access Point to Effectively Address Security, AI and IoT Challenges

Recently, Huihe Technology (HPE) announced the launch of Wi Fi 7 Access Point (AP), which can provide up to 30% more wireless traffic capacity than similar products through the 6GHz band recommended by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). At the same time, the product enhances network security capabilities and improves location-based services, providing connectivity for enterprises' stringent AI, IoT, location and security application needs.

As the market leader in the enterprise wireless network field, and the network manufacturer who has been rated as Gartner's enterprise class wired and wireless LAN infrastructure magic quadrant leader for 18 times, HPE Aruba Networking, adhering to the spirit of innovation, launched a new generation of Wi Fi 7 access points. Thanks to HPE's patented ultra tri band hardware technology, this product can use 5GHz and 6GHz frequency bands to automatically and continuously eliminate ineffective competition between frequency bands.

Stuart Strickland, chief technology officer of HPE Aruba Networking Wireless, said, "HPE Aruba Networking, with more than 20 years of leading Wi Fi innovation, has always been committed to providing customers with reliable, secure and high-performance connectivity solutions, helping them achieve various business goals from immersive fan watching experience to automated manufacturing processes. Our newly launched Wi Fi 7 access point not only brings strong performance improvement and efficiency optimization capabilities, but also becomes an intelligent IoT hub, providing enterprises with network security, load balancing, environment awareness, business and operation analysis and other functions. "

The new HPE Aruba Networking access point can be managed through HPE Aruba Networking Central, and with the help of built-in hardware that supports a wide range of IoT protocols, such as Zigbee and Bluetooth, or expanded through dual USB interfaces, it can help users achieve a wide range of IoT coverage without additional repeated construction. This access point can provide a secure and reliable connection platform for various types of IoT devices deployed at the edge of the network, such as cameras, motor sensors, energy sensors and motion detectors. Thanks to the integration solutions from more than 350 technology partners, enterprises can efficiently collect, protect, transmit and utilize IoT data to gain real-time business insight. In addition, this data can be used to train and activate its AI model to help build solutions such as predictive maintenance, digital twins and personalized customer user experience.

Chris DePuy, chief analyst of 650 Group, said, "At present, optimizing connectivity is a key task. Making wise investments in wireless infrastructure is always the constant demand of customers, because they need to build a future oriented network and achieve expected operating results. With the vigorous development of IoT devices and the demand for ubiquitous security and backward compatibility with traditional devices, Wi Fi 7 provides the powerful processing power required for enterprise network upgrades, and combines flexibility, speed, reliability and greater capacity. "

With the advent of HPE Aruba Networking 730 series park access points, enterprises can maximize the value of wireless investment through the following functions:

·Provide the best Wi Fi performance for demanding application scenarios: ultra tri band filtering eliminates channel interference on adjacent channels in the 5GHz and 6GHz frequency bands, maximizes performance and capacity, and allows enterprises to flexibly use dual frequency bands at the same time.

·Enhancing wireless security: policy based access control and layer 7 applications firewall , based on the wireless function of security priority, for example, HPE Aruba Networking Central Client Insights improves the visibility of IoT, realizes automatic dynamic segmentation, and provides role-based access control for users and IoT devices. At the same time, new functions include new link level encryption (MACsec *), which can extend wired data protection measures to access points and personal wireless network modes. The latter allows user equipment to join the network safely and self-help, and will be applicable to group environments such as university campuses.

·Eliminating IoT overlapping coverage of regional networks: The IoT operation and maintenance dashboard of HPE Aruba Networking Central simplifies the equipment online process, while allowing access points to directly communicate with third-party IoT services as connectors and edge computing components of IoT equipment, thus eliminating the high operating cost of overlapping coverage of IoT regional networks related to specific suppliers.

·Wider support for IoT protocol: two-way exclusive Bluetooth and Zigbee wireless communication technology provide support for high-density IoT environment. Its USB dual port uses proprietary protocol to provide stable connection for a wide range of IoT devices. At the same time, the access point is equipped with an integrated dynamic external antenna, designed for complex RF environments.

·As a data processing solution, the access point of the new generation HPE Aruba Networking 730 series is equipped with twice the SDRAM memory and flash memory of previous models, which supports the direct running of specific applications through containers on the access point. This function can simplify data transmission and local data processing, so as to respond to real-time conditions faster, such as temperature or motion detection.

·Precision positioning service: The improved positioning service will provide an accuracy as low as 1 meter, suitable for real-time, immersive and industrial scenarios, and support IEEE 802.11az standard to help realize self positioning network. Additional features include a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver and a barometric pressure sensor for floor level mapping. This function, combined with Bluetooth low-power (BLE) 5.4 technology, can realize two-way IoT positioning data transmission, which can not only improve user participation, but also track valuable assets to reduce the risk of loss.

·Sustainability and energy conservation: AI drive The dynamic energy saving mode helps enterprises reduce energy consumption and realize cost reduction.

HPE Aruba Networking 730 series access points are planned to be launched globally in July 2024, and provide users with lifelong limited warranty service. HPE Aruba Networking Central will be responsible for the management of HPE Aruba Networking 730 series park access points, and users can use this service through subscription. Division as independent Software In addition to the service as a service (SaaS) product, HPE Aruba Networking Central has been included in the HPE GreenLake (NaaS) subscription service. Users can subscribe to the cloud platform through the HPE GreenLake edge.

*MACsec support is expected to be added in October 2024.
