In March 2018, Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, acquired Cape, a local startup with a big vision: to improve the way the Internet works. As Cape we built a small team of skilled engineers and designers in Cape Town and a Wi-Fi monitoring product which won us Best Startup of 2017 from Wi-Fi NOW, a global industry body.Now, as part of Aruba, we are growing our team, building new products, and scaling our systems to meet a 1OOX surge in demand during the next 18-24 months.

What do we do? Our product gives IT managers insight into how their Wi-Fi, networks, and apps are performing 24/7 and how to fix any issues before users complain.

Our hardware agent is a delight to install and our software is easy and fun to use.
