Wi-Fi: Aruba APs listen for wireless devices, relaying that data to Aruba Central contact tracing AI via AirWave for traceable device location data within 10-15 meter accuracy.   - BLE Location Data: Wearable asset tags utilize Bluetooth to beacon their location to the network via Meridian Cloud Solutions to provide real-time location data within 3-5 meter accuracy.  To further ensure the safety of faculty and students, institutions can set controls and capacity thresholds to send instant alerts whenever there are overcrowded locations or asset tags in restricted areas.  Vandis has extensive expertise with Aruba technology and can set up a consultation to discuss how contact tracing could be implemented at your school. If you’re ready to schedule your consultation, email us at [info@vandis.com](mailto:info@vandis.com) or call at 516-281-2200.     Tag(s): [HPE Aruba Networking](https://vandis.com/insights/tag/hpe-aruba-networking) , [Webinar](https://vandis.com/insights/tag/webinar) , [Wireless](https://vandis.com/insights/tag/wireless) ## [Vandis](https://vandis.com/insights/author/vandis) ### Blog Post Cards View All Posts June 15, 2026 ##### [ Securing AI in Practice: How Vandis and F5 Approach the Controls ](https://vandis.com/insights/securing-ai-in-practice-how-vandis-and-f5-approach-the-controls) [Artifical intelligence](https://vandis.com/insights/tag/artifical-intelligence) June 1, 2026 ##### [ Why AI Has Outpaced Enterprise Security and What Changes Now ](https://vandis.com/insights/why-ai-has-outpaced-enterprise-security-and-what-changes-now) [Artifical intelligence](https://vandis.com/insights/tag/artifical-intelligence) February 12, 2026 ##### [ Vandis Named to CRN's MSP 500 List for 2026 ](https://vandis.com/insights/vandis-named-to-crns-msp-500-list-for-2026) [Managed services](https://vandis.com/insights/tag/managed-services) ### Keep In Touch With Vandis Stay up-to-date on the latest in cyber security, networking and connectivity, and cloud solutions [![Vandis](https://vandis.com/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/vandis-u4m/templates/images/Logo.png?width=209&height=467&name=Logo.png "Vandis")](https://vandis.com/) Tailored security and networking guidance: Building a secure and optimized network for your hybrid environment. **Corporate Office** 1 Albertson Avenue Albertson, NY 11507 **Phone: [(516) 281-2200](tel:5162812200)** **Toll Free: (800) 397-3146** **Fax: (516) 626-9003** -
