Aruba announced the Wi-Fi 6E solution set - the 630 Series of campus access points, starting with the AP-635.

"With connectivity demands growing exponentially, Wi-Fi 6E can take advantage of up to seven, superwide 160 MHz channels and uncongested bandwidth in the 6 GHz band to deliver unprecedented multi-gigabit and low latency connectivity," said Kevin Robinson, SVP of Marketing at Wi-Fi Alliance.

"Wi-Fi 6E will spur enhanced innovations and exciting new services. Wi-Fi Alliance is pleased to see longtime member Aruba bringing Wi-Fi 6E solutions to market that will help organizations better support critical activities like videoconferencing, telemedicine, and distance learning."

The new Aruba Wi-Fi 6E solutions are part of Aruba ESP, AI-powered, cloud-native platform designed to unify, automate, and secure the Edge.

With Aruba's new Wi-Fi 6E offerings, organizations can take advantage of the increased capacity, wider channels in 6 GHz, and significantly reduced signal interference with 3.9 Gbps maximum aggregate throughput to support high bandwidth, low latency services and applications such as high definition video, next-generation unified communications, augmented reality/virtual reality, IoT, and cloud.

"As we progress in our digital transformation, we are continually adding an increasing number of IoT devices to our network and transitioning to Wi-Fi as our primary network connection rather than Ethernet. We are being asked to support an expanded array of mission-critical, high bandwidth applications that support research as well as hyflex learning and entertainment, like streaming video, video communications, and AR/VR for our students, professors, and staff," said Mike Ferguson, network manager and enterprise architect at Chapman University.
