HPE User Experience Insight G-Series Sensor (Ethernet+Wi-Fi AX)

The HPE User Experience Insight G-Series Sensor (Ethernet+Wi-Fi AX) is a high-performance edge device engineered to deliver unparalleled visibility into how users experience applications and services across both wired and wireless networks. By collecting real-time analytics from Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6/802.11ax environments, this sensor empowers IT teams to monitor latency, throughput, roaming performance, and application behavior with precision. Designed for enterprise deployments—from sprawling campuses to multi-site offices—the G-Series Sensor integrates seamlessly with the HPE User Experience Insight (UXI) platform, transforming raw data into actionable insights through intuitive dashboards, baselines, and proactive alerts. Its compact, rugged form factor supports flexible installation options, while PoE and secure onboarding simplify deployment and management. Whether you’re optimizing business-critical apps, improving user satisfaction, or reducing service interruptions, the G-Series Sensor serves as a critical component in a scalable UX strategy that aligns network investments with actual user experience outcomes.

• Unified visibility across wired and wireless networks: The G-Series Sensor captures comprehensive UX metrics from both Ethernet networks and Wi‑Fi 6/AX environments, enabling you to correlate application performance with user location, device type, and network path. This holistic view helps IT teams pinpoint bottlenecks, understand roaming behavior, and measure true user experience rather than just raw throughput, empowering data-driven decisions that improve productivity and service levels.
• Edge deployment with flexible connectivity: Built for edge deployments, the sensor’s compact footprint fits into tight spaces while offering dual connectivity options. It can leverage Ethernet for reliable, high-speed data transport and Wi‑Fi AX for wireless visibility, giving administrators versatility in placement and coverage. This flexibility is especially valuable in campuses, nursing facilities, manufacturing floors, and corporate offices where wiring constraints or dynamic environments require adaptable monitoring.
• Advanced analytics for proactive IT operations: Beyond basic metrics, the G-Series Sensor delivers granular UX data, including device and session information, application response characteristics, and end-to-end performance trends. By aggregating this information in the UXI console, IT teams gain trend analyses, anomaly detection, and baseline comparisons that support proactive capacity planning, rapid root-cause analysis, and improved service delivery for both internal users and external customers.
• Secure, scalable, and easy to manage: Security is built into every layer of the sensor—from authentication during onboarding to encrypted data transmission and role-based access control in the UXI platform. The device is designed to scale with growing organizations, allowing additional sensors to be deployed across sites and centrally managed from a single UXI interface. With seamless software updates and centralized policy management, this sensor minimizes operational overhead while maximizing reliability and data integrity.
• Seamless integration with HPE and Aruba ecosystems: The G-Series Sensor is purpose-built to complement the broader HPE UXI and Aruba ecosystems, enabling cohesive dashboards, alerts, and automation workflows. It feeds standardized UXI data into your existing IT operations workflows, enabling correlation with business metrics and IT service management processes. This integration helps ensure that user-experience improvements translate into measurable business outcomes, such as reduced ticket volumes, higher application adoption, and improved customer satisfaction.
