Aruba Announces Instant On Access Points for Small Businesses

APP VISIBILITY AND CONTROL
Get full visibility into the apps running on your network along with the ability to block certain applications from being used. You also get the flexibility to turn off this feature from the mobile app as well.

EASY GUEST ACCESS
Customize the experience with your logo, authentication, rules of use or keep it simple. Applying bandwidth rates, setting data usage per app and limiting duration of use is also a breeze. Or use an external portal or service like Facebook Wi-Fi. You can also have open guest networks for quick and easy access. With Instant On mobile app, you can apply bandwidth limits for your clients or your network for prioritizing certain primary networks.

ENTERPRISE GRADE WI-FI
Keep users happy as they move between spaces or meetings with a seamless handoff between APs. All you need is to use is secure WPA2 or WPA3 authentication on your secure networks and we do the rest. Instant On supports OWE for secure, open Wi-Fi network access like cafe, retail store and restaurants. You can also control the network width, channels and channel width to suit your specific environment in a single click. With the new Cloudflare integration you get private and fast web browsing. The 802.11k standard improves roaming performance helping clients connect to nearby APs quickly.

MULTI-SITE MANAGEMENT
The cloud-hosted web interface and mobile app make it easy to manage multiple sites: multiple networks, distributed deployments and multi-tenancy deployments. Each site is logically separated and has its own configuration, statistics, guest portal, and admin read/write and read-only privileges. Instant On allows you to create three admin accounts per site, offering an option to lock accounts to prevent them from accidental deletion.

SITE INVENTORY AND TOPOLOGY VIEW
The site inventory view lists all the Instant On switches and access points on a single interface, and the topology view provides an intuitive structure of all Instant On devices deployed in a network — allowing you to quickly identify nonfunctioning devices and troubleshoot accordingly. Network issues can be easily diagnosed with connectivity tests like Ping and Traceroute.

TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (2FA)
As the number of security breaches continue to rise, 2FA has become an essential tool to mitigate risk against compromised login credentials. TwoFactor Authentication (2FA), provides an additional layer of authentication, prevents attackers from remotely accessing our network, and secures sensitive customer information.
