Elevating Connectivity to the Next Level
HPE Aruba Networking is proud to introduce the 700 Series Wi-Fi 7 access points, designed to deliver secure connectivity, maximized performance, enhanced IoT and location capabilities, and advanced data processing at the edge. As a leader in networking technology, HPE Aruba continues to innovate, ensuring that your organization stays ahead of the curve.
The Evolution of Wi-Fi: More Than Just Connectivity
From the onset of Wi-Fi technology, HPE Aruba has viewed access points (APs) as more than mere traffic routers. Our mission has always been about secure connectivity, evidenced by our industry-first Layer 7 application firewall integrated into an AP. This philosophy has guided us through multiple Wi-Fi generations, adding capabilities like location services, IoT protocol support, and extensive network telemetry for security and AIOps.
Introducing the 700 Series: Enhanced Features and Capabilities
The new 700 Series Wi-Fi 7 access points build on this legacy, offering dual BLE 5.4 or 802.15.4/Zigbee radios, dual USB interfaces, and improved location precision. These access points are designed to deliver high-performance connectivity and edge processing capabilities.
Key Features of the 700 Series:
- Wi-Fi 7 Support: Optimal support for 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz spectrums with mix and match configurability for backward compatibility.
- Enhanced IoT Capabilities: Dual radios and USB interfaces for a broad range of IoT devices.
- Edge Processing: Sufficient memory and compute capacity to run containers, enabling local data processing and decision-making.
- Advanced Location Services: Precision within one meter, incorporating GNSS receiver and barometric sensor for floor-level mapping.
- Sustainability: AI-powered dynamic power save mode to reduce energy footprint and costs.
Immediate and Long-Term Benefits
The 700 Series APs provide immediate benefits by increasing wireless connectivity and performance for existing devices while future-proofing your network for Wi-Fi 7 devices. The rich IoT protocol support eliminates the need for overlay IoT networks, and real-time data processing at the edge enhances AI workflows.
