Analysis

Because HPE Aruba’s patented ultra tri-band hardware technology allows its APs to fully utilize both the 5GHz and 6GHz bands at the same time, without interfering with one another or requiring the customer to give up part of either spectrum to avoid interference, the new Wi-Fi 7 AP product family offers up to 30% more capacity for wireless traffic than competing access points. Many new features are included in the new product line, such as expanded support for Internet of Things protocols with dual dedicated Bluetooth and Zigbee radios for high-density IoT environments and integrated, non-permanent external antennas that, according to HPE Aruba, are made for difficult radio frequency environments. According to HPE Aruba, the new series will be widely accessible worldwide starting in July 2024. Also read: How do Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices update remotely?
