The correct answer isAbecause Aruba Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 APs include anintegrated GPS receiverthat enables automatic self-location and positioning. This capability allows APs to place themselves on digital floor plans without manual entry, which accelerates deployment ofAruba Location Servicesin Aruba Central.
Relevant extracts from HPE Aruba Networking documentation:
* "Aruba Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E APs feature integrated GPS receivers that enable automated AP placement on maps in Aruba Central."
* "This self-locating capability sets Aruba APs apart from the competition, where AP placement is typically a manual process."
* "By automating AP map placement, Aruba reduces deployment time and ensures higher accuracy for location-based services such as indoor navigation, asset tracking, and IoT visibility." Why the other options are incorrect:
* BLocation-based services are delivered via APs with integrated GPS and cloud-based services in Aruba Central, not switches.
* CWhile developer tools exist, GitHub scripts arenot the defining featureof Aruba's differentiation in LBS.
* DAruba Central does not rely on external specialized devices; it uses Aruba APs with embedded GPS capabilities.
