HPE Aruba Networking, Juniper Networks, and Cisco Ranked Leaders in ABI Research’s Enterprise WLAN Vendor Competitive Assessment
NEW YORK, June 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A new competitive ranking from global technology intelligence firm ABI Research provides an unbiased ranking of 10 equipment vendors in the enterprise Wireless Local Access Network (WLAN) networking market. The profiled companies are assessed on both innovation and implementation, with the former category encompassing technological leadership, portfolio range, ability to address specialist markets, network management capabilities, and additional value-added services, and the latter commercial influence, value-proposition, strategic partnerships and acquisitions, service models, implementation, and support.
HPE Aruba Networking has been awarded the top position in the competitive ranking owing to its broad range of proprietary WLAN technologies and strong WLAN portfolio, advanced Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) and automation platform, and the introduction of Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) throughout its entire portfolio in 2022. Juniper Networks scored second, with company strengths including the Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven Juniper Mist cloud networking platform, the industry leading automation and analytics provided by Mist AI, and unique capabilities, such as patented virtual Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) antenna arrays and proprietary algorithms that can eliminate deployment errors. Cisco claimed third place on account of the significant technological innovation that the company brings to the industry, including the advanced analytics, automation, and security features of Cisco’s network management platforms, alongside its strong commercial position and the broad range of strategic partnerships that the company has developed.
“Enterprise WLAN vendors operate in a mature market with many deep-rooted incumbents safeguarding their market share with robust global distributor and reseller channels across various business verticals,” says Andrew Spivey, Senior Analyst at ABI Research. “Vendors looking to expand are required to develop highly optimized end-to-end solutions for the specific vertical they are targeting. For example, Extreme Networks‘ solutions have been optimized for large public venues, while Arista has focused almost exclusively on data centers and campus environments.”
As closer parity occurs at the hardware level, we are increasingly seeing greater divergence at the software level, in the areas of network management, automation, orchestration, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML). This has opened a new front of differentiation, on which some vendors have successfully capitalized. Juniper Networks is a strong example here, having brought to market one of the industry’s leading secure, unified AI-driven cloud networking platforms, Juniper Mist, alongside advanced insights and automation with Juniper Mist AI. In recent years many companies, notably Aruba, Juniper Networks, and Cisco, have built up their software offering through the pursuit of strategic acquisitions and partnerships, while others, such as Cambium Networks, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, and Huawei, have instead predominantly grown their capabilities instead through natural expansion. While acquisitions offer a faster route to attaining new abilities, there are significant advantages to developing in-house, including greater consistency and unity across the portfolio. Huawei stands out as a vendor that built many of its innovative capabilities in-house thanks to its unique ability to leverage innovations made in its 5G technologies to enhance its WLAN products, as the company did for its digital pre-distortion technology.
“Another key area of differentiation, and of opportunity, has emerged from the transition away from Capital Expenditure (CAPEX)-heavy investments toward Operational Expenditure (OPEX) models in the form of Network-as-a-Service (NaaS),” adds Spivey. “Vendors which have successfully implemented the most competitive NaaS solutions scored highly, with Aruba’s leading rank in part a reflection of its successful introduction of NaaS across its entire portfolio in 2022.”
These findings are from ABI Research’s Enterprise Wi-Fi and WLAN Vendors competitive ranking. This report is part of the company’s Wi-Fi & WLAN Technologies & Markets research service research service, which includes research, data, and analyst insights. Competitive Ranking reports offer comprehensive analysis of implementation strategies and innovation, coupled with market share analysis, to offer unparalleled insight into a company’s performance and standing in comparison to its competitors.

Request Finance acquires Pay.so Lithuania; launches revolutionary one-click crypto/fiat payment solution.
The acquisition allows clients to compliantly make payments to third parties, pay bills, and pay employees with a one-click on/off ramp feature.
PARIS, Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Request Finance, a leader in crypto and fiat financial operations, has announced its acquisition of Pay.so Lithuania, a regulated VASP. The acquisition enables Request Finance to provide a fully compliant, one-click on/off ramp payment solution that bridges crypto and fiat, streamlining global transactions for businesses of all sizes. Now, Request provides a multi-payee on/off ramp, consolidating its position as the one-stop shop for all finance operations of businesses of all sizes.
Pay.so Lithuania operates under one of the strongest and most reliable regulatory frameworks for companies providing services on digital assets. Pay.so has grown tenfold in just nine months, solidifying its position as a key partner for significant corporations adopting digital currencies. With one of the broadest currency coverages in the market, Pay.so has been providing Request Finance’s clients with fiat payouts in a wide range of currencies for several months now, including USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CHF, SGD, NZD, THB, HKD, IDR, CAD, INR, AED, KRW, JPY, MYR, and PHP.
By acquiring its trusted long-term partner, Request Finance now powers the smoothest Fiat2Crypto onramps and Crypto2Fiat offramps for $100 to $100 million transactions.
This acquisition brings uniquely powerful on/off ramp for its clients, as simple as in one click. Clients can now make offramps and onramps to and from third parties. This applies to direct payments, multi-payee bill payments, and employee payments.
Chris Butcher, CEO of Pay.So US, commented, “The acquisition of this regulated Lithuanian entity puts Request in a prime position to double down on fiat payments and extend its lead as the number one crypto accounting and payment solution.”
Cameron Butcher, CTO of Pay.so US, added, “Request has inherited a unique platform, processing millions of dollars of volume daily, on local payment rails worldwide, all while maintaining airtight compliance”.
Valentin Faye, Head of Legal & Compliance at Request Finance, added, “Acquiring a VASP and pursuing MiCA compliance is essential for building trust and long-term growth in our digital finance landscape. We ensure that our operations meet the highest security and transparency standards and that our clients transact confidently across borders in full compliance with regulations. This positions us to support the largest enterprises as they adopt digital currencies. Plus, offering our users the first in a long line of regulated services enables them to manage all their operations with and from our platform.”
Christophe Lassuyt, CEO of Request Finance, mentioned, “This is a game changer for Request Finance which now supports a broad range of hybrid businesses, from those who want to earn revenues in digital currencies without touching crypto, with no crypto on the balance sheet, to those who run compliant finances without a bank account“.
Check out what finance leaders say about Request Finance’s new feature:
- Diego Casanova, Sr Finance Operations Analyst at Decentraland Foundation, mentioned: “We have been using Request Finance since 2022 to streamline our crypto payments. One of the most valuable features for us has been the batch payment option, which simplifies complex transactions. A few months ago, we were introduced to a new feature within the platform, allowing us to make seamless fiat payments using crypto through its off-ramp services. Since then, our experience has been outstanding, with consistent support from the Request Finance team, always attentive to our needs and inquiries.”
- Daniel Lustig, Head of Operations and BI at Ocean Protocol, added: “Since the Request team introduced crypto-to-fiat payments, our workflow has become incredibly streamlined. The new solution has enabled us to handle both crypto and fiat transactions seamlessly, allowing us to focus more on our core business without worrying about complex conversions and payment tracking. It’s been a game-changer for our team, providing a new level of transparency we’ve been looking for. Needless to say our auditors love it, too.”
- Krisztin Lipárdi, COO at Galaxis.xyz, highlights that “Request Finance has honestly changed the way how I at Galaxis handle payments. Earlier I had to use several platforms and I had to separate Crypto and Fiat payments. Seeing all the invoices at one place and the Crypto to Fiat feature has made my life so much easier. The multi-currency options are perfect for my clients across the globe. I really wouldn’t want to go back to anything else!”
About Request Finance:
Request Finance‘s mission is to enhance crypto adoption by compliant businesses. The all-in-one finance platform for crypto and fiat operations already offers Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Accounting, and direct payments to 190+ countries.
