Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), today announced an expanded set of integrated, easy-to-deploy Edge and IoT solutions designed to enable organizations to bring employees back to physical workplaces safely. Developed using Aruba Wi-Fi access points (AP\u2019s)<\/a>, EnOcean800\/900MHz radios that insert into the AP\u2019s, and compatible IoT devices from Aruba Technology Partners<\/a>, these solutions monitor hoteling spaces, room occupancy, air quality, and cleaning\/disinfection scheduling. By operating on customers\u2019 existing Aruba infrastructure and leveraging cloud-based applications, the solutions can be rapidly deployed and eliminate the need for expensive IoT overlay networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the world continues to adapt to new business realities brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations are considering a myriad of return-to-work scenarios, including re-opening offices and safely bringing employees back in-person.Since IT infrastructure spans across the entire enterprise, it\u2019s the ideal platform on which to build cross-organizational systems and processesencompassing social distancing, contact tracing, infection control, and space management. Flexible, cloud-native applications targeting these use cases can be quickly spun up \u2013 at minimal cost \u2013 as return-to-work initiatives are rolled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aruba ESP (Edge Services Platform)<\/a> provides theunified, secure, cloud-native network infrastructure that underpins EnOcean\u2019s integration with Aruba. Plugging an EnOcean 800\/900MHz USB adapter into a compatible Aruba AP enables communication with wireless IoT air quality monitors, presence detectors, light level sensors, and other devices that use EnOcean-developed protocols, wireless radios, and energy harvesting power sources.IoT data is streamed from the APto the target return-to-work application over secure tunnels. Aruba ESP applies consistent security policies and provides unified management from a single point of control.Customers have the freedom to implement return-to-work solutions at any time, in both new and existing deployments, without ripping and replacing IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
