Aruba Instant On – Smart Network Tools for Your Smart Home
From the front door to the garage, modern homes contain an increasing number of wireless IoT devices like sensors, smart lighting, and smart locks. While these devices help to automate and personalize domestic tasks, connectivity can suffer without the right network technology to support them.
With Aruba Instant On APs and switches, smart home owners and builders get an out-of-the-box high-performance network solution that delivers reliable and secure Wi-Fi for connected living spaces.
Benefits of having Aruba Instant On for your smart homes:
Seamless device integration
When smart appliances connect to a single network, they use that network as a channel to coordinate with each other and to complete specific tasks. A smart speaker, for example, communicates over Wi-Fi when you ask it to adjust home lighting, security, and temperatures.
These multi-function devices create a need for Wi-Fi that’s not only fast, but also provides fool proof coverage. Instant On APs have built-in Mesh Wi-Fi capabilities that eliminate dead zones, minimizing dropped connections. Instant On APs also handle multiple smart clients on each channel simultaneously, regardless of device or traffic type – improving efficiency and reducing latency.
Wired devices like smart TVs and CCTVs can be connected to Instant On smart-managed switches. Those switches can also connect to an AP to enable a centralized and high-performance network.
Know what’s on your network
Most IoT devices have their own portal to keep track of device activity, which means you need to manage multiple dashboards – a time-consuming task.
With the free Instant On management app, you can create, modify, and monitor different parts of your network from a single interface. The easy, intuitive dashboard also allows you to monitor app activity and the top sites used on your network.
Smart, secure Wi-Fi
Smart devices store a host of sensitive behavioural, financial, and personal data. Adept hackers can gain access to a smart home’s internet-enabled appliances if there’s a gap in network security.
Instant On indoor and outdoor APs, switches, and free network management include built-in security features to protect your network from unauthorized access. Authentication, VLANs, Network Access Control (ACL) and Port Security allow you to segment traffic and restrict access to areas of the network. And the mobile app’s intuitive dashboard provides a single pane view of all the applications on your network.
