Central Location Services Deployment Guide

Design, deployment and troubleshooting guidance for HPE Aruba Networking’s Central Location service

Location services and analytics are provided by the Central Location Engine (CLE), a service running within HPE Aruba Networking Central, and are commonly used in modern wireless networks to provide contextual insights into devices on the network based on their physical location. CLE consumes and processes raw Wi-Fi data sourced from HPE Aruba Networking Access Points managed by Central and running HPE Aruba Networking Wireless Operating System AOS 10 (AOS 10) or HPE Aruba Networking Instant Operating System AOS 8 (InstantOS 8). The CLE service is Aruba firmware-agnostic, ensuring consistent functionality across both the AOS 8 and AOS 10 firmware versions.

Notably, the HPE Aruba Networking Analytics and Location Engine (ALE) existing on-premises location analytics product, has laid a strong foundation by computing contextual data for associated and unassociated clients within defined areas. Building upon this legacy, CLE not only inherits the capabilities of ALE but elevates them through its cloud-centric architecture and enhanced precision.
