Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company announced it has been positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in Gartner Inc.’s latest “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure.”

Despite the pandemic, the race towards Wi-Fi 6E continues at pace, and with good reason. As organizations increase their use of bandwidth-hungry video, speed up their transition to the cloud, and battle rocketing numbers of devices, the demand for Wi-Fi connectivity continues to rise. According to the Wi-Fi alliance, there are as many 16.4B client and IoT devices now in use.

The key features are 2×10 Gbps SFP+ uplinks; 4x MultiGigabits access ports for connection of bandwidth consuming applications; 4x Gigabit access ports for connecting further IP equipment and access ports are featured with PoE++ up to 90W.

These new indoor access points provide powerful WLAN capacity, based on the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard, and can address small and medium-sized enterprise demand for higher bandwidth and connectivity
