 ▶ SPECIFICATION:

▶ UNIQUE ABILITY:

WIFI 6:

It supports multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) in the downlink, BSS coloring, and cell co-location. It is a Wi-Fi 6/802.11ax compatible Access Point.

• OFDMA:- This capability enables APs to handle multiple 802.11ax cap clients on each channel at once, regardless of device type. Clients can share a channel by using smaller sub-carriers or resource units (RUs), which reduces airtime and bandwidth competition

• Bi-directional Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) :- With these Series access points, clients can use downlink MU-MIMO as well as uplink spatial streams, similar to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2). This multiplies the number of clients that can send traffic between APs, optimizing client-to-AP spatial stream diversity.

▶ WI-FI OPTIMIZATION 

Client optimization 

Patented AI-powered technology called ClientMatch guides clients to the best AP based on the best radio signal. Also, ClientMatch dynamically steers traffic to load balance APs.

Automated Wi-Fi radio frequency management 

1. Aruba AirMatch optimizes networks using machine learning to provide a better user experience.
2. AirMatch effectively allocates isotropic radiated power (EIRP) evenly to radios through dynamic bandwidth adjustments and real-time channel assignment to mitigate co-channel interference.

Application assurance 

Air Slice's application assurance goes beyond airtime fairness. It automatically adjusts radio resources based on SLAs as new users connect and application sessions begin or end.

 Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM)

1. APs continuously monitor and report energy consumption and temperature.
2. When wired switches exhaust their power budgets, PoE power can be used to enable and disable AP capabilities. 
3. When APs reach threshold temperature, IPM disabling features prevent from overheating.

Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) 

The technology includes built-in filtering to reduce interference from cellular towers, DASs, and small cells or femtocells.

▶ IOT CAPABILITIES 

Bluetooth and Zigbee 

• Bluetooth and 802.15.4/Zigbee radios ensure maximum range and performance for IoT applications.
• With Bluetooth and Zigbee integration, organizations can deploy and manage IoT-based location, asset, security, and sensor services. In this case, overlay infrastructure and additional IT resources are not required.

Advanced IoT coexistence (AIC) 

A built-in filter ensures Wi-Fi and Bluetooth/Zigbee radios can operate at their full capacity without interference.

Target Wake Time (TWT)

• With Wi-Fi 6, IoT solutions can use that protocol infrequently, allowing them to communicate via 802.11ax. 
• IoT devices that use TWT can sleep for extended periods and use shorter wake times to communicate before going back to sleep.
• Battery-powered sensors based on Wi-Fi 6 now have a significantly longer useful life.

 ▶ SECURITY:

It helps protect authentication and wireless traffic as part of Aruba's SASE and zero-trust security approach. Included are: 

WPA3 and Enhanced:- WPA3 and Enhanced Open ensure that Wi-Fi 6-certified clients will never transmit unencrypted traffic. With an open authentication network, Enhanced Open still provides strong encryption over the air. Each Wi-Fi 6 user session will be uniquely encrypted, and the encryption will change if the user disconnects and reconnects. 

 

WPA2-MPSK:- MPSK simplifies WPA2 passkey management - if one device's Wi-Fi password changes, no additional changes are required. ClearPass Policy Manager enables this feature.
