|  Location (RTLS) Real Time Location Services (RTLS) over the same 802.11 network used for data and voice mobility. Application Briefs | Aruba Delivers Real Time Location Services (RTLS) Over the Same 802.11 Network Used for Voice and Data MobilityUnlike competing location solutions, Aruba delivers the precision necessary to satisfy a wide array of applications without requiring the deployment of dedicated location sensors. For example, hospitals can reduce the amount of medical devices (e.g. IV pumps) they must purchase/lease if staff can rapidly locate available resources. Furthermore, tagging medical devices improves staff productivity by reducing the amount of time spent locating equipment scheduled for routine maintenance. Aruba's RTLS makes use of APs to report signal measurements for tracked 802.11 asset tags and Wi-Fi enabled devices (e.g. laptops, handsets) to the Mobility Management System (MMS) which calculates location co-ordinates. Third party tracking/logic applications can make use of location co-ordinates by interfacing with the MMS Location API. Aruba has partnered with industry leading suppliers of 802.11 asset tags and location applications to deliver a complete RTLS solution. | Remote Access Extending enterprise mobility across the LAN, WAN and Internet Instant Branch Office Aruba enables Instant Branch Offices at a lower total cost of ownership than previously possible.

Using high-performance and secure remote access technology, Aruba integrates remote users into the same architecture as that powering enterprise wired and wireless networks. This integration provides a single point of management for all mobile users while maintaining a consistent network access experience for users. For users at wireless hotspots, airports, or other Internet-connected locations, Aruba's VPN Server capability interoperates with industry-standard Virtual Private Network (VPN) clients from a variety of vendors including Microsoft, Cisco, Nortel, Apple, Avaya, and Juniper. L2TP/IPSEC, IPSEC/XAUTH, and PPTP are all supported using hardware-accelerated encryption for a high degree of scalability. Aruba's VPN Dialer provides a convenient downloadable front-end for the Microsoft Windows VPN client, permitting administrators to automatically configure client settings with an easy-to-use installer. For small offices and telecommuters working from home, Aruba's Remote AP solution takes a standard enterprise-class wireless access point and converts it into a secure remote access device that can be deployed directly on the public Internet through any broadband connection. Using the Remote AP, the enterprise wireless LAN environment appears wherever the Remote AP is operating, with the same encryption, authentication, and access control policies as are available in an enterprise facility. When deploying access points with dual Ethernet ports, the second port can also be used to transport wired traffic securely across a VPN tunnel to an enterprise datacenter. For larger branch offices, Aruba's Site-to-Site VPN solution eliminates the need for a standalone VPN appliance by extending secure connectivity between two Aruba mobility controllers, or between a mobility controller and a third-party VPN concentrator. Standard VPN features such as IKE pre-shared key support, X.509 digital certificate support, dead peer detection, high availability, and a configurable selection of encryption methods allow the solution to easily integrate with an existing site-to-site VPN deployment or enable a new rollout. | Secure Enterprise Mesh Secure Aruba services without new data wiring. | Secure Enterprise MeshAruba's Secure Enterprise Mesh technology enables a converged data, voice, and video network to be deployed or expanded without installing any network wiring.

| Voice (FMC) A clear roadmap for fixed-mobile convergence Application BriefWhitepapersAruba’s Mobile Voice Continuity (MVC) Solution Press Releases | Fixed Mobile Convergence is Taking the Enterprise by Storm… What Does This Mean, and Will You Be Ready?The way we communicate by voice is continually and rapidly changing. New technologies have emerged that make this mode of communication more efficient and cost effective, and enable an unprecedented level of user mobility. For years, enterprise IT has been deluged with an incredible amount of information, and some hollow promises, surrounding the implementation of these new and exciting voice services. At Aruba, we like to get beyond the marketing jargon and take a more holistic and realistic view of these converging voice technologies. First of all, what exactly does fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) mean? For some, it means a convergence of functions in the core of the network, generally around the IMS architecture. More often, however, fixed-mobile convergence means enabling a person to make and receive calls via the most optimal technology at the moment, wherever they may be. This may be via a cellular network, a traditional TDM phone network, wired IP network or as is increasingly the case, a Wi-Fi network. As the demand for user mobility increases, and as the size and breadth of the virtual enterprise expands exponentially, it is imperative that a clear roadmap for fixed-mobile convergence be established and understood. Intelligent solutions exist today that enable enterprise IT to implement FMC voice services seamlessly, adding a layer of intelligence and functionality to their existing network infrastructure that allow enterprise users the benefits of these mobile services. Don’t replace your PBX. Don’t rip out your existing network infrastructure. Overlay a solution that enables the delivery of these services today, and allows for flexible growth tomorrow and into the future. | Wireless LAN Access Pervasive wireless coverage designed for scale and high availability Pervasive, highly-available, high-performance WLAN access throughout an entire building, campus, or extended enterprise. (1072 KB) Extends the life of existing WLAN deployments through enhanced security, roaming, and management. (2105 KB) Provides controlled Internet access, both wired and wireless, to authorized visitors while keeping the internal network secure. (580 KB) | Wireless LAN (WLAN) AccessThere is an irreversible shift in the enterprise towards workplace mobility. Mobile workers require portable technology in the form of laptops, PDAs and mobile phones, along with specialized mobile applications and a corresponding network capable of supporting this level of mobility. By definition, the existing fixed, or wired, network cannot meet the need for mobility. It is inflexible, it has no visibility into who or what is connected, and it cannot follow a user to deliver consistent user experience and security policies. As workforce mobility continues to grow, the expectation is that the edge of the network will become predominantly wireless. Workers will not connect to a cable; they will connect to the network through the air using Wireless LAN (WLAN) technology. Making wireless the primary connection in the enterprise requires pervasive wireless coverage and a network designed for scale and high availability. Aruba provides significant advantages in creating this environment, including: Increased security with strong authentication and encryption and wireless intrusion protection Centralized encryption architecture for improved security, scale, and deployment flexibility RF optimization and control using Automated Radio Management (ARM) Seamless Layer2 & Layer3 roaming Integrated RF planning & administrative tools with real-time coverage views Unified mobility access control Controller and AP redundancy
While many WLAN systems require multiple appliance-based add-ons to address the full functionality of RF, Security and Mobility, Aruba Networks integrates these capabilities in the same system. Having all functionality centralized not only improves manageability, but also traffic optimization, security, TCO, troubleshooting, etc. | Network Access Control (NAC) An open NAC infrastructure that delivers mobility with granular network control Application BriefsA comprehensive network access control solution with identity-based control.

(655 KB) | Aruba Mobile NAC - an Open NAC Infrastructure that Delivers Mobility with Granular Network ControlIn a global enterprise environment, a NAC deployment requires mobility. An employee whose device is managed by IT needs a simple process for getting on the network anywhere and doing business. Guest users with unmanaged machines need to be restricted to guest authorization policies. Remote workers, mobile employees and other business associates need to have unique NAC policies enforced as well. With many different policies to enforce, IT staff cannot afford to deploy and mange multiple systems. Aruba's unified mobility architecture enables a new level of security, control and operational simplicity because it works over wireless and wired infrastructure with no changes to the network, no changes to the applications, and no additional tasks for end users. Aruba's Mobile NAC enables: Unified authentication over wired or wireless networks Consistent policy enforcement for remote users without additional configuration True identity- and location-based policy enforcement Continuous threat assessment and enforcement: pre-connect, intra-session, and forensic reports
Aruba's NAC solution is widely deployed today for network-based authentication and authorization policy enforcement. Aruba has proven that NAC is possible, even easy, to deploy. Seamless integration with existing RADIUS based systems and with the upcoming Microsoft NAP system removes the barriers to rolling out user and machine based AAA policy enforcement. Aruba's mobile NAC solution supports: Client posture-based assessment User-based and traffic inspection based access privilege correlation Policy-based access control across all entry points of a network Dynamic policies that adjust automatically to changing user and device characteristics
Aruba's NAC solution interoperates with best-in-class security systems, utilizing standard protocols and open APIs, such as RADIUS, Microsoft NAP Specifications, and Aruba's XML API, to provision network access privileges based on user identity attributes, client posture attributes and traffic inspection. Aruba NAC addresses the full range of risks that users and endpoints can pose to the enterprise network. This allows enterprises to conduct deep and broad security assessments before provisioning a network connection. It also allows NAC policies for application specific devices such as voice-over-WiFi handsets. A critical component of NAC is the method of network enforcement. With Aruba, network access is enforced via layer 2 and via an ICSA-certified user firewall, which are integrated into a single device, making NAC more secure and far more manageable than VLAN-based NAC solutions. Together with security and network partners, Aruba provides an open NAC infrastructure that delivers mobility with granular network control. | Wireless Intrusion Detection/Prevention A leading solution for addressing radio-based threats Product GuideSolution BriefsPrevents radio-based security breaches by identifying threats to the network from attackers and uncontrolled wireless devices.(2194 KB) Product Data Sheets(PDF 1 MB) (PDF 1 MB) | Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention - a Leading Solution for Addressing Radio-based Threats Wireless threats are a growing risk to organizations worldwide.
