More IoT devices means more IT challenges
The proliferation of IoT devices at the edge creates a new set of challenges for IT.
• IoT devices use different connectivity types and communication protocols, often requiring vendor-specific gateways to manage devices and collect data.
• IoT devices are fundamentally untrustworthy; IoT gateways obscure devices on the network, causing a lack of visibility that creates greater risk.
• Integrating IoT data with business processes is complex, requiring deep knowledge of IoT, data transport, data security, and business applications.
Unify IoT, IT, and OT networks with Aruba ESP
Extensible Wi-Fi 6 access points support multiple IoT technologies, so you can address a broad range of IoT applications now and in the future with the infrastructure you already have, eliminating the cost, complexity, and potential vulnerabilities of gateways and IoT overlay networks.

Designing hyper-aware facilities
IoT is the eyes and ears of a smart building. Supplementing IoT data with contextual information enables hyper-awareness—cognizance and responsiveness to occupants and their environment. The richer the data and context, the greater the opportunities to boost efficiency, productivity, profitability, reliability, and security.
