Case Study: Eskridge Lexus achieves reliable, high-performance Wi‑Fi and improved customer service with HPE Aruba Networking

Aruba Instant supplies streamlined, secure Wi-Fi loaded with security and smarts at an affordable SMB price

Eskridge Lexus, a busy Oklahoma City dealership that services over 27,000 vehicles a year, struggled with an aging wireless system that dropped connections and couldn’t handle high device density—especially in harsh service-bay conditions. With a single IT manager on staff, the dealership needed rugged, reliable Wi‑Fi and a simplified, centrally managed solution.

Partnering with CDW, Eskridge deployed Aruba Instant 802.11ac Wave 2 indoor and outdoor APs with zero‑touch provisioning, creating high-performance, segregated guest and internal networks. The upgrade delivered fast, stable connectivity, quicker setup and administration, improved security, higher customer dwell time in lounges (supporting passive sales), and a scalable platform the group can extend to other dealerships and future mobile initiatives.
