ARUBA 7000 SERIES

MOBILITY CONTROLLERS
Improved network performance, visibility, and
control
Aruba 7000 Series Mobility Controllers enhance WLAN
performance by centralizing all control functionality for
individual Aruba access points (APs) to improve AP utilization,
security, and client roaming. Ideally suited for midsize
campuses and branches, the 7000 Series can be deployed
using Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) to simplify deployment.
