Context is key

Digital modernization is driving both the creation and expansion of location-aware services. Our portfolio delivers both breath and flexibility.

  • As part of HPE Aruba Networking Central, all measurements are refined overtime and can be used in location analytics. APs are automatically placed on maps in Central Floor Plan Manager
  • The Open Locate initiative standardizes how AP locations are shared with client devices and network-based services over Wi-Fi or BLE
