According to the companies' news release, the move could benefit retail and logistics organizations in that they will be able to manage their mobile devices seamlessly, as well as their and Aruba mobility controllers and access points, from a common centralized management console.
"For the retail and logistics markets, Wavelink has extensive experience solving the unique challenges associated with managing wireless infrastructure while Aruba's Mobile Edge addresses PCI-level security along with support for legacy and contemporary mobile devices and applications," said Aruba's vice president of marketing Gary Singh in a statement released on Monday.
