The pandemic prompted a slew of new networking offerings to come to market that embraced emerging trends, such as multi-cloud, AI, edge networking and automation. Here’s 10 new networking products that solution providers should know about.
Aruba 630 Series Wi-Fi 6E
Aruba Networks, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, in May launched its Aruba’s 630 Series Wi-Fi 6E Indoor Access Points, making it the first enterprise networking vendor with a solution that takes advantage of the newly opened 6GHz spectrum, according to the vendor.
The Wi-Fi 6E (extended) 630 Series campus access point is the first in a product family of wireless solutions that operate in the 6GHz band, which was opened up in April 2020 by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for unlicensed use in the United States.
Wi-Fi 6E makes the wider 6GHz spectrum channel available — in addition to the narrower 5GHz and 2.4GHz channels that are already in use today — which will greatly alleviate congestion and give users and devices access to broader, high-speed connections.
