Aruba Webinars

In this session, we’ll explore the intersection of Wi-Fi and cellular networks to learn how Wi-Fi 6 and 5G offer complementary paths to satisfy demanding new networking requirements. We’ll examine the commercial forces driving mobile operators to develop 5G networks, the technological building blocks at their disposal, and the comparative advantages and constraints of Wi-Fi 6 and the 5G New Radio in relation to specific use cases. Participants will learn how technology decisions made today will shape future commercial relationships between locally-managed, private networks and global service providers, take away a framework for understanding the implications of 5G for private networking needs, and evaluate the prospects for enterprise Wi-Fi to become an on-ramp to 5G networks and services.

The pillars of network security include encryption (protecting confidentiality), authentication (ensuring the right people have access), and integrity (ensuring data hasn’t been tampered with). Join Dan Harkins and Jon Green to learn about these topics that are sure to make you a hit at your next cocktail party.

On April 23, the United States FCC voted unanimously to open the 6 GHz band for use by Wi-Fi and other unlicensed broadband radio systems. This new Order – which adds an additional 1,200 MHz for Wi-Fi – is the single most consequential FCC decision in at least a generation and in some ways eclipses the original 1997 decision opening the 5 GHz U-NII bands. Chuck will review the scope of the decision, the concurrent Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and preview likely developments in this band in 2021 and beyond.

The world is shifting from traditional data centers to “centers of data”. Enterprise data centers are being augmented by distributed and virtualized data centers, extending out toward where data is processed at an increasing number of edge data centers.

Billions of everyday consumer and enterprise devices use radio to communicate. It is important for security professionals to understand where these devices are and create a geofence boundary to limit where they are allow to go or not allow to be. In high-security, you can set up an automated enforcement when your client device crosses the RF geofence boundary and gets a restricted access policy.
