Built on Decades-Long Heritage in Enterprise Networking, New Aruba Instant On Solution Makes Feature-Rich Wi-Fi Easy for Smaller Organizations 

MALAYSIA, July 2 (Bernama) -- Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), today announced Aruba Instant On, a new family of powerful and secure wireless solutions designed to address the current and future needs of small businesses with capacity for growth. The Instant On family will initially include indoor/outdoor Wi-Fi access points (APs) designed to deliver secure, high-speed wireless connectivity with hassle-free set-up and management, all with the quality, performance and exceptional support that customers expect from Aruba.
 
The proliferation of mobile devices, the increasing use of cloud-based applications, and the need to deliver a seamless Wi-Fi experience comparable to that of large corporations, has forced small businesses to rethink their networking requirements to remain competitive. Small businesses are also grappling with growing user expectations for secure, always-on connectivity, the desire to align with major technology shifts and trends, and limited IT resources. According to IDC, “two-thirds of SMBs will have digital transformation as a key part of their IT strategies by the end of 2023”[1] and since, “…growing interest in digital transformation has placed new demands on SMB communications infrastructure including wireless LANs,”[2] the need for purpose-built Wi-Fi solutions that can deliver a non-stop, yet simple to manage, wireless experience that can effortlessly scale as business needs dictate is evident.
 
Justin Chiah, Senior Director and General Manager for Southeast Asia at Aruba said that “SMEs in Malaysia and Singapore face specific barriers to entry, such as lack of funds, talent, and an IT knowledge gap which results in business owners not recognizing digital solutions as a revenue generator. Yet, in an always-on economy courtesy of ubiquitous mobile devices and cloud-based applications, SMEs cannot afford to not deliver on experiences that users have grown accustomed to. With the launch of Aruba Instant On, we aim to be able alleviate these concerns so that SMEs may focus on business delivery and growth to deliver seamless and impactful customer experiences.”
