Case Study: Disney Parks achieves seamless, high-performance guest connectivity and immersive Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge experiences with HPE Aruba Networking

Connecting Experiences at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge® at Walt Disney World® Resort

Disney Parks created Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World—a 14‑acre, highly immersive land designed to deliver new mobile and AR-driven guest experiences to millions of visitors. The challenge was to provide seamless, secure connectivity across the expansion and throughout the resort so guests could roam, use apps like the Star Wars: Datapad, and engage with interactive experiences without interruption.

HPE Aruba Networking supplied a unified infrastructure (access points, switches, AirWave, ClearPass and UXI) that enables seamless roaming, machine‑learning incident detection, and easy integration with ecosystem partners. The result is high‑performance Wi‑Fi and faster issue resolution, giving guests a smooth, secure connected experience and deeper engagement with the park’s digital and physical storytelling.
