"Set and Forget" Wi-Fi for Your Business
Running a business is hard enough without having to constantly reboot your router. For Gold Coast cafes, retail shops, and small offices, you need enterprise-grade Wi-Fi hardware that just works—every single day. Aruba Instant On delivers exactly that with robust access points and switches designed specifically for business environments.
Backed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Aruba Instant On brings enterprise-grade reliability to the small business market. It's designed for simplicity: easy setup via a mobile app, automatic security updates, and rock-solid performance. Whether you're in Surfers Paradise, Burleigh Heads, or Coolangatta, Bcom IT Solutions can deploy an Aruba network that you'll never have to worry about.

Project: Burleigh Heads Boutique Hotel
The Challenge
A popular boutique hotel in Burleigh Heads was receiving negative reviews due to patchy Wi-Fi. Guests couldn't stream Netflix in their rooms, and the reception staff struggled with a slow booking system.
The Solution
Bcom IT Solutions installed a robust Aruba Instant On network:
- 10x AP22 Access Points: Installed in hallways to provide strong Wi-Fi 6 coverage to every room.
- 1930 PoE Switch: Powers all access points and security cameras through a single device.
- Guest Portal: A branded login page that limits bandwidth per guest to ensure fair usage for everyone.
The Result
"The best investment we've made this year. The guests are happy, and I can manage the whole system from my phone while I'm off-site. It's brilliant."

Why choose Aruba Instant On over other brands?
Aruba Instant On is built by HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise), bringing enterprise-grade reliability to small businesses. It's designed to be "set and forget"—perfect for business owners who want rock-solid Wi-Fi without needing an IT degree.
Are there any ongoing subscription fees?
No. Unlike many enterprise competitors, Aruba Instant On has zero subscription fees. You get full access to the cloud management portal and mobile app for the life of the product.
Can I manage the network from my phone?
Yes. The Aruba Instant On mobile app is incredibly user-friendly. You can see who is connected, block devices, and set up guest networks in seconds, from anywhere in the world.
Is it suitable for cafes and restaurants?
Absolutely. We can set up a branded "Guest Portal" (splash page) where customers accept terms or view your logo before connecting. It keeps your internal business network completely separate and secure.
What if I have a large warehouse or outdoor area?
Aruba offers rugged outdoor access points (like the AP17) that are weather-proof and designed to cover large open spaces like car parks, pool areas, and loading docks.
Does it support the latest Wi-Fi 6 standards?
Yes. The AP22 and AP25 models support Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), delivering faster speeds, better battery life for connected devices, and better performance in crowded environments.
Can I prioritize voice and video calls?
Yes. The system automatically detects and prioritizes voice and video applications (like Zoom, Teams, and VoIP phones) to ensure crystal-clear calls even when others are downloading large files.
How secure is the network?
Extremely secure. It includes built-in firewalls, WPA3 security (the latest standard), and automatic security updates. It also blocks known malicious sites automatically to protect your staff and guests.
Can I limit bandwidth for guests?
Yes. You can easily set bandwidth limits for the guest network to ensure that customers don't slow down your critical business operations like EFTPOS and cloud software.
Do you provide installation and support?
Yes. Bcom IT Solutions provides full turnkey installation—from cabling and mounting to configuration and handover. We also offer ongoing support if you ever need changes or assistance.
