Hewlett Packard Enterprise recently introduced Wi-Fi 7 access points (APs) in the UAE, that provide up to 30% more capacity* for wireless traffic than competitive products.
The new APs also strengthen network security and improve location-based services to provide connectivity for demanding enterprise AI, Internet of things (IoT), location, and security applications. The announcement was made at HPE Discover Dubai alongside a comprehensive summary of the company’s Secure AI – Networking portfolio.
As a market leader in enterprise wireless, and 18-time Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure, HPE Aruba Networking continues its innovation with new Wi-Fi 7 APs that exceed the requirements of the standard. This performance is achieved with HPE’s patented ultra tri-band hardware technology, which fully utilizes the 5GHz and 6GHz bands to automatically and continuously eliminate wasteful contention between the bands.
“We believe that with security-first, AI-powered networking, the network becomes a security solution. With a commitment to reliable, secure, high-performance connectivity, this latest Wi-Fi innovation leadership will empower our customers in the Middle East and Africa region to deliver cutting-edge experiences to their end-users”, said Jacob Chacko, Regional Director, Middle East & Africa at HPE Aruba Networking. “Our Wi-Fi 7 APs will support the region’s fast-growing tourism and business landscape from extending immersive fan experiences to automating manufacturing processes. The latest innovation not only offers unparalleled performance and efficiency but can become intelligent IoT hubs by securing the network, distributing the workload, characterising the environment, and providing a foundation for business and operational analytics”.
