What is the primary function of an Aruba Mobility Controller?

The primary function of an Aruba Mobility Controller is to manage wireless network traffic and provide policy enforcement. This role is crucial for ensuring that a wireless network operates efficiently and securely.

The Mobility Controller centralizes the control of the network by making decisions regarding user connectivity, data routing, and the application of security policies. This helps in optimizing the management of bandwidth, controlling access to network resources, and ensuring that Quality of Service (QoS) is maintained for different types of traffic. Additionally, it enables features such as load balancing among access points and seamless roaming for users moving between different coverage areas.

This capability is essential in environments that require reliable and managed connectivity, such as corporate offices or large educational institutions, where numerous users connect to the network simultaneously. The enforcement of policies ensures that all users adhere to established network use rules, which further enhances security and performance.
