Case Study: Balboa Capital achieves improved Wi‑Fi performance and streamlined cloud management with HPE Aruba Networking (Aruba Central and Aruba Instant Access Points)

Online lender maximizes Wi-Fi performance and management with Aruba Central and Aruba Instant Access Points

Balboa Capital, a technology‑driven online lender headquartered in Costa Mesa with 250+ employees, faced intermittent Wi‑Fi performance and connectivity issues across its 28,000‑square‑foot headquarters on the top two floors of a 12‑story building. The IT team needed a cloud‑based solution to streamline deployment, monitoring, and reporting for access points and to extend reliable coverage to adjacent areas like the lobby, courtyard, and campus lounge.

The company deployed Aruba Instant Access Points managed via Aruba Central, enabling quick, in‑house installation and cloud‑based onboarding, monitoring, firmware updates, and reporting. The rollout eliminated dropped connections, improved mobile performance and live‑streaming quality, extended secure guest and employee Wi‑Fi coverage, and gave IT centralized, real‑time management without additional servers or outside consultants.
