Aruba Central provides network management but lacks the APIs for real-time space intelligence. Your enterprise WiFi infrastructure already has the data — you just need a way to query it.
- OAuth2 integration with Aruba Central REST API
- Client session analytics with roaming tracking
- AP health monitoring and capacity planning metrics
- Location analytics via Aruba Meridian integration
- Multi-tenant isolation for managed service providers
