“It must be your network”! If you’re a network admin, then you must be pretty used to others pointing fingers at the network for client and application issues, when the real culprit was outside the network. How often have you found yourselves scrambling to prove your innocence to reduce the MTTI (Mean Time To Innocence)? Admins need the right tools and visibility to root cause issues but this becomes tough when managing distributed networks. In this session, we will show you Aruba’s AI/machine learning techniques integrated in our Cloud Platform, Central, and how admins can scale their operations to improve troubleshooting for the network.


Aruba Enhanced Wi-Fi Security

Personnel: Dan Harkins

Device provisioning tends to be tedious, insecure and hard to scale. This is compounded when more “headless” devices, such as IoT sensors that lack user interfaces, need to be deployed. Wi-Fi Easy Connect, also known as Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) is a new standard that allows devices to be easily provisioned onto a network using simple, modern techniques such as scanning a QR code. This replacement for WPS provides robust, secure, and scalable provisioning for IoT devices in any environment, from homes to manufacturing locations. In this session, Dan Harkins, the creator of DPP will outline how it works, how it achieves security and robustness and provide a hands-on demo of provisioning a device using DPP.

With the introduction of Wi-Fi 6, Aruba has delivered 802.11ax multi user capabilities like OFDMA and Target Wake Time, support for the 2.4GHz channel, as well as integrated USB, Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 radios to transform the role of the access point into an IoT platform. This brings support for a broad range of use cases such as asset tracking, personnel safety, physical security and electronic shelf labels. In this session, we will discuss these enhancements and demo integrations with strategic technology partners.

Aruba Opening the 6 GHz Band for Unlicensed Operations

Personnel: Chuck Lukaszewski

The Wi-Fi industry badly needs more mid-band spectrum to keep up with demand, and to enable widespread use of 80 and 160-MHz channels. FCC has initiated a rulemaking to potentially open 1.2 gigahertz of new spectrum in the 6 GHz band for unlicensed devices. This is enough for fourteen 80-MHz channels, and nearly sixty 20-MHz channels. Europe has also initiated a technical sharing study for up to 500 MHz of new spectrum. Chuck will explain the status of the two proceedings, what technical rules may apply, and new incumbent protection technologies that will be necessary.

Wi-Fi 6 propels user experience, performance and density to new heights, with support for a wide range of new and expanding use cases. It is actively being deployed in many customer premises today and we expect the standard to become the predominant connectivity method for the majority of enterprise and industry segments over the next 5 years. Wi-Fi 6 technologies (e.g. OFDMA, WPA3) bring deterministic, secure performance to many industries where legacy connectivity remains the status quo – and it also brings 5G capabilities to life in enterprise networks today.
