License Base Aruba LIC-RFP Controller RFProtect E-LTU

The Aruba LIC-RFP Controller RFProtect E-LTU base license enables RF management and protection for enterprise wireless networks. Designed for use with Aruba controllers and RFProtect technology, this license provides advanced RF analytics and threat detection to improve wireless performance and security. For each access point managed by a controller, a minimum of one LIC-AP license per AP is required. The 7000 series controller supports mixed wireless, wired and hybrid SD‑WAN deployments, up to 24 Ethernet ports and up to 64 APs, and includes built‑in stateful firewall, secure VPN and content-filtering threat management to reduce onsite maintenance and the number of appliances per location.

Advantages

The RFProtect E-LTU license adds centralized RF analytics and threat detection to help identify and mitigate wireless interference and attacks. It integrates with Aruba controller platforms to provide coordinated protection across APs and supports hybrid WAN features such as compression, health checks, zero-touch provisioning and policy-based routing. These capabilities simplify operations, reduce manual configuration and lower the need for physical service visits.

Suitable for

• Enterprises deploying Aruba controllers in branch offices
• Organizations requiring centralized RF monitoring and wireless threat protection
• Sites using hybrid WAN with SD‑WAN features and multiple Ethernet connections
• Environments aiming to reduce appliance count and on-site maintenance
