Aruba announced the introduction of its new roaming service designed to enable cellular subscribers to securely and automatically roam onto participating Aruba enterprise Wi-Fi<\/a> networks. The new service, called Aruba Air Pass<\/a>, allows for a seamless hand-off between cellular and Wi-Fi networks, without sacrificing security or quality of service. When used in conjunction with Aruba Air Slice<\/a>, an Aruba technology that improves radio performance, telcos can extend their 5G footprint into the enterprise<\/a> and enable seamless Wi-Fi calling and gigabit-class guaranteed performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to evolving building codes, energy efficient\nconstruction materials and low-emission glass, cellular signals are challenged\nwhen penetrating buildings, resulting in dramatically diminished performance.\nTo solve this problem, Aruba customers can easily leverage their existing\nenterprise Wi-Fi infrastructure as a cost-effective alternative to deploying\nindoor small cells or distributed antenna systems (DAS). Because 5G standards\nsupport aggregation of both 3GPP and Wi-Fi radio access networks (RANs), global\ntelcos can leverage Wi-Fi as an indoor onramp to 5G services to deliver new\nclasses of enterprise services, such as network slicing. This helps enterprise IT teams accelerate their adoption of 5G with an\neconomical and seamless solution that greatly improves performance and user\nexperience inside the enterprise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the fundamental enabling technologies behind\nAruba Air Pass is Passpoint, a standard created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to enable\nmobile devices to automatically authenticate on enterprise Wi-Fi networks using\ntheir cellular credentials. Passpoint is a broadly accepted standard, and is\nsupported on nearly all mobile devices. By leveraging Aruba Air Pass, global\ntelcos have the ability to vastly expand their footprint to potentially include\nthe nearly 20 billion square feet served by Aruba Air Pass-ready infrastructure\nworldwide.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delivering Carrier-grade\nQoS and Optimized User Experiences with Wi-Fi 6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the\nsame OFDMA radio technology that powers the 4G LTE and 5G NR radios, Aruba Air Slice\nis a unique Wi-Fi 6 technology designed to optimize user and application\nexperience by providing carrier-grade quality assurance. By dynamically\nallocating radio resources, such as time, frequency and spatial streams, Aruba\nAir Slice guarantees performance for latency-sensitive applications such as\nAR\/VR, Zoom and Slack, mobile gaming and real-time IoT applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Aruba Air Pass and Aruba Air Slice, mobile\nnetwork operators can benefit from a globally scalable coverage solution,\nmaintain continuous visibility and contact with subscribers, and deliver future\n5G services across the depth and breadth of Aruba\u2019s global installed base of\nenterprise Wi-Fi customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe combination of Aruba Air Pass with Aruba Air\nSlice gives telcos the ability to extend the reach of their 5G networks into\nthe enterprise while economically improving the overall end user experience,\u201d\nsaid Jeff Lipton, vice president of Strategy and Corporate Development at\nAruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company. \u201cDevices that associate with an enterprise network using Aruba Air Pass\nmay then use their Wi-Fi connections to access applications and services, such\nas making and receiving calls and text messages, based on their roles and\npermissions.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
