The Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 certification is designed to distinguish
Wi-Fi 6 products and networks that meet the highest standards for
security and interoperability to deliver exceptional end user
experiences and wireless stability. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 products
provide significant capacity, performance and latency improvements
to the entire Wi-Fi ecosystem, while ensuring that solutions from
multiple vendors interoperate to help enable greater innovation and
opportunity.
“Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 brings new possibilities that harness the
power of Wi-Fi to connect users in more locations and with advanced
security,” said Kevin Robinson, senior vice president of Marketing
at Wi-Fi Alliance. “Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 further promotes
interoperability and adherence to industry standards to ensure end
users receive a superior Wi-Fi experience with their devices.”
As the market share leader in Wi-Fi 6 by revenue1, Aruba has
always been on the forefront of wireless innovation to enable
seamless, secure connectivity that bridges the physical and digital
worlds. The Aruba 500, 510, 530 and 550 Series Wi-Fi 6 APs,
combined with Aruba AI-powered software features, deliver high
performance connectivity in extremely dense mobile and IoT
deployments. They are also WPA3 and Enhanced Open-certified –
providing next-generation security capabilities that combine
improved cryptographic strength, resiliency and simpler deployment.
With the ability to simultaneously serve multiple clients and types
of traffic, the APs deliver up to four times the network
performance of 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) APs.
Aruba’s Wi-Fi 6 APs also provide Aruba differentiated
capabilities, such as AirMatch – Aruba’s next-generation AI-based
RF optimization technology, zero downtime, live software upgrades,
and the ability to support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee protocols
– which allows organizations to connect with 74% of today’s IoT
devices.
“A key tenet of our two decades-long leadership in Wi-Fi is the
vital importance of interoperability and security,” said Chuck
Lukaszewski, vice president of Wireless Standards and Strategy at
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company. “As such, we are
extremely proud to be among the first vendors to receive Wi-Fi
CERTIFIED 6 certification across our portfolio of high performance
Wi-Fi 6 APs. With rising device densities, surging bandwidth needs
and sophisticated new security threats, it will be increasingly
important for users to select devices that are certified to meet
the market’s most exacting standards. As we continue to invest in
Wi-Fi 6 development to support outdoor, hospitality and remote
deployments, customers will be able to take even greater advantage
of the emerging, innovative, next-generation use cases that Wi-Fi 6
is enabling.”
