HPE JW791A Aruba AS-100 Dual Band Single Concurrent Wireless Sensor

The HPE JW791A is an Aruba AS-100 Series Wireless Location Sensor, a compact, plug-in device engineered to remotely manage Aruba Beacons at scale. It is designed for enterprise, retail, and venue environments that leverage location-based services and mobile engagement. The primary role of the AS-100 is to eliminate the need for manual, on-site management of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons by providing a persistent connection to the central management platform over an existing Wi-Fi network, regardless of the Wi-Fi vendor. This sensor simplifies the operational lifecycle of a BLE beacon infrastructure, a critical component for indoor positioning, wayfinding, and proximity marketing campaigns. It listens for data from Aruba Beacons within a 25-meter radius, collecting vital statistics like battery life and operational status. This information is then relayed securely over its integrated 802.11n Wi-Fi client to the cloud-based Meridian Editor platform, allowing administrators to monitor and configure thousands of beacons from a single interface. Deployment is straightforward and non-disruptive. The AS-100 features a compact form factor that plugs directly into a standard AC outlet, with an alternative USB power option for flexibility. This allows for strategic placement throughout a facility to ensure comprehensive beacon coverage without requiring new cable runs or complex installation, making it a highly scalable solution for large-scale deployments.
