• Duxbury Networking has announced the local availability of WiFi7 tri-band connectivity thanks to the latest access points (APs) from HPE’s Aruba division.
• The HPE Aruba 730 Series fully supports the 5GHz and 6GHz bands.
• The WiFi 7 APs provide up to 30 percent more capacity for wireless traffic.

Local networking solutions provider Duxbury Networking has this week announced the availability of a new product that can assist any campus property owners wanting to upgrade their connectivity. This as the company is leveraging the latest WiFi 7 solutions from HPE’s Aruba division in the form of the HPE Aurba 730 Series (pictured above).

According to Duxbury, these new WiFi 7 access points (APs) offer up to 30 percent more capacity for wireless traffic, along with strengthening network security, improving location-based services for demanding enterprise AI, supporting IoT ecosystems, as well as dedicated location and security applications.

“The new APs use HPE’s patented ultra tri-band hardware technology, which fully uses the 5GHz and 6GHz bands to automatically and continuously eliminate wasteful contention between the bands,” noted Duxbury in a release shared with Hypertext.

“The 730 Series goes beyond improvements in performance and efficiency to transform into an intelligent IoT hub, securing the network, distributing the workload, and providing a foundation for business and operational analytics,” added Warren Gordon, business unit manager at Duxbury Networking.

The full breadth of features found within the HPE Aruba 730 Series are as follows:

• “More Wi-Fi performance for demanding use cases: UTB filtering eliminates channel interference on adjacent channels in 5GHz and 6GHz bands.
• Enhanced wireless security: Policy-based access control and Layer 7 application firewalls build upon a foundation of security-first wireless features for improved IoT visibility and automated Dynamic Segmentation.
• Eliminate IoT overlay networks: HPE Aruba Networking Central’s IoT Operations dashboard streamlines device onboarding and eliminates high-overhead vendor-specific IoT overlay networks.
• Wider support for IoT protocols: Dual dedicated Bluetooth and Zigbee radios provide support for high-density IoT environments, and dual USB ports provide extensive connectivity for a broad range of IoT devices using proprietary protocols.
• AP as a data processing solution: The 730 Series APs feature twice as much SDRAM and Flash memory as previous HPE models, enabling application-specific containers to run on the APs themselves.
• Precision location services: The 730 Series APs are the first to leverage the new Wi-Fi location standard, for improved location-aware services that deliver precision within one meter, for real-time, immersive, and industrial use cases, as well as support for the IEEE 802.11az standard to help enable self-location networks.
• Sustainability and energy savings: An AI-powered, dynamic power-saving mode helps lower energy footprint and costs for enterprises.”
