Key Features:
Wi-Fi 7 With AI-powered Management
The HPE Aruba Networking 720 Series Campus Access Points take advantage of the 6 GHz band to more than double the available capacity and AI-powered management that offers exceptional deployment flexibility - in the cloud, on-premises, or as-a-Service - for Wi-Fi that is easier to manage.
Mid-range Wi-Fi 7 access points, based on the 802.11be standard, deliver up to 4.7 Gbps maximum tri-band aggregate data rate using three 2x2 MIMO radios (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz). Supports 20 MHz, 80 MHz, and 160 MHz wide channels.
Intelligent automation, AI insights, and unified infrastructure management, provided by HPE Aruba Networking Central, enhances wireless performance and helps drive efficient IT operations everywhere you deploy your network management – in the cloud, on-premises, or as-a-Service.
Improved roaming and connectivity with HPE Aruba Networking ClientMatch technology that helps eliminate sticky client issues and improve performance of mobile clients.
Dynamic bandwidth adjustments support changing device density, enhanced roaming, and real‑time channel assignments to mitigate co‑channel interference and built‑in filtering automatically minimizes the impact of interference for better Wi-Fi experiences.
Comprehensive Network Security
The HPE Aruba Networking 720 Series Campus Access Points offer enhanced security with dynamic segmentation to eliminate the time consuming and error-prone task of managing complex and static VLANs, ACLs, and subnets by dynamically assigning policies and keeping traffic secure and separated.
Network protection with stronger encryption and authentication with WPA3, secure credentials/keys storage for guest access with Enhanced Open, and user and IoT access policy enforcement firewalls.
AI-powered classification of all Wi-Fi clients and IoT devices through HPE Aruba Networking Central uses deep packet inspection to provide behavioral context that help ensure devices are receiving proper policy enforcement and continuous monitoring.
To simplify policy enforcement, the 720 Series uses the Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) to encapsulate all traffic from the access point to the gateway (or mobility controller) for end-to-end encryption and inspection.
For enhanced device assurance, HPE Aruba Networking access points include an installed TPM for secure storage of credentials and keys, and boot code.
Expanded IoT Support
The HPE Aruba Networking 720 Series Campus Access Points can serve as flexible IoT platforms that bolster network security and provide coverage for broad range of IoT devices without the need for network overlays for IoT devices.
Configure flexible integrated IoT radio for BLE or 802.15.4/Zigbee operation to simplify deploying and managing IoT-based location services, asset tracking services, security solutions and IoT sensors. A USB port extension provides connectivity to a range of IoT devices.
HPE Aruba Networking Central IoT Operations unifies visibility of IT and OT infrastructure within the network health dashboard by extending network monitoring and insights to BLE, Zigbee, and other non-IP IoT devices. It helps streamline non-Wi-Fi device onboarding and data collection.
Location Services and Energy Saving
The HPE Aruba Networking 720 Series Campus Access Points help organizations deliver precision indoor location services by supporting FTM 802.11az for sub-1 meter accuracy.
AI-powered dynamic power save mode enables the 720 Series to sleep and then automatically wake up when connectivity demand arises, reducing power demands, and lowering the energy footprint.
Target Wake Time establishes a schedule for when IoT clients need to communicate with an access point to help improve client power savings and reduce airtime contention.
Intelligent Power Monitoring provides energy consumption insights as the access points continuously monitor and report hardware energy usage.
HPE Aruba Networking access points can also be configured to enable or disable capabilities based on available PoE power — ideal when wired switches have exhausted their PoE power budget.
