Arubaos 6 5 Aos Enterprise Wireless Aruba Networks -

Aruba’s firewall approach—assigning roles to users based on who they are (Employee vs. Guest vs. IoT)—was deeply integrated into the OS in 6.5. It was far easier to configure "Zero Trust" style wireless policies in 6.5 than in many competing Cisco WLC versions of the time.

Aruba introduced "Client Match" in this era. It was a proactive technology that "steered" wireless devices to the best Access Point and frequency band. In the era of 802.11n and early 802.11ac, this technology solved massive issues with "sticky clients" (devices that refused to roam), dramatically improving the user experience.

Centralized tunneling ensures that mobile scanners (often using older 802.11n radios) stay connected across large spaces. Stability is prized over new features. Arubaos 6 5 Aos Enterprise Wireless Aruba Networks
