Aerohive HiveAP 110

Overview:

The Aerohive Networks HiveAP 110 is a high-performance, 802.11n 2x2 MIMO access point with a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, delivering a data rate of 300 Mbps with a single dual-band radio.

The HiveAP 110 is ideal for deployments where a single radio 802.11a/b/g/n solution is sufficient, such as small retail environments, telecommuters, and micro branches. Single radio APs can also be effective in low-capacity environments where the benefits of a second radio are small because there are few clients vying for airtime. The HiveAP 110 can operate in either band – 2.4GHz or 5GHz – providing the opportunity to use the less congested 5GHz band if the clients are all 5GHz capable. The HiveAP 110 is the best value option for small wireless footprint requirements.

Innovative Industrial Design
The AP110 is designed to blend well into an office environment. Our low-distraction indicators appear as gently glowing colors rather than bright blinking lights, avoiding employees from being distracted while clearly providing status to IT personnel, or indicators can be disabled altogether.

Software Features

HiveOS
All HiveAPs support the feature-rich HiveOS service architecture. HiveOS is an implementation of Aerohive's Cooperative Control Architecture which enables multiple APs to organize into groups or "hives," that share control information enabling functions such as fast layer-2/ layer-3 roaming, cooperative RF management, security and mesh networking without requiring a dedicated system controller. The resulting feature-rich capability enables a next generation wireless LAN architecture, called a Cooperative Control Wireless LAN Architecture. This architecture provides the benefits of a controller-based implementation, yet has a lower deployment/ownership cost, is more reliable, more scalable, higher performing and more suitable for today's proliferation of wireless applications than controller-based architectures.

Network Management Solutions
Aerohive's HiveManager NMS is a central management solution for Aerohive HiveAPs. HiveManager supports simple policy creation, firmware upgrades, configuration updates, and centralized monitoring throughout the entire Aerohive deployment, whether building-wide, campus-wide, or global - all from a single console. Because the HiveManager is not actively involved in passing traffic or in making forwarding decisions, it eliminates the traffic bottlenecks and complexities of controller-based solutions, particularly in geographically distributed environments. As a result, control is distributed, while management is centralized. Essentially, the HiveManager solution delivers the benefits of both autonomous APs and controller-based solutions, without the drawbacks of either approach.

Aerohive's HiveManager NMS can be delivered two ways:

• HiveManager Online—a cloud-based management service from Aerohive
• HiveManager VMware virtual appliance—an on-premise VM management solution

WLAN Access Points Comparison:

Aerohive's wireless LAN access points, HiveAPs, are an innovative new class of wireless infrastructure equipment with cooperative control technology that provides the benefits of a controller-based wireless LAN solution, without requiring a controller or an overlay network. HiveAPs are organized into groups, or "Hives," that share control information between them, and enable functions like secure and fast L2/L3 roaming, coordinated RF management, security, QoS, and mesh networking. This sharing capability enables a nextgeneration wireless LAN architecture that is easy to deploy and expand, reliable, scalable, high-performing, and optimal for voice over WLAN—all without a controller.

Warranty & Support:

The Aerohive Support offerings provide what you need to help you keep your wireless network up and running. Bundled warranty Support provides basic issue resolution and replacement of Aerohive products within the applicable warranty period. If you need round-the-clock access to Technical Support, you can elect to upgrade to Aerohive's Paid Support offering that includes 24x7 or 8x5 Technical Support, web and phone Support access, next day advanced hardware replacement, and software updates.

Bundled Warranty Support
Every Aerohive product includes a warranty that provides (a) three months of access to the Aerohive Customer Support Portal, which provides standard software updates (including bug fixes and error corrections) and upgrades (including generally available new features and enhancements), and (b) limited lifetime hardware repair or replacement services OR

As part of the limited hardware warranty, if you experience a hardware failure that is verified by an Aerohive Technical Support technician, we will ship you a replacement unit within ten days after the date we receive the defective unit² and will reimburse you for your reasonable shipping costs. hardware repair and replacement services for a one-year period.¹

Bundled warranty Support can be augmented by purchasing an Aerohive Paid Support offering described below.

Paid Support
Through its Paid Support program, Aerohive offers two levels of Technical Support services.

Technical Support
Get Support for an unlimited³ number of questions or issues either 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24x7 Paid Support), or Monday – Friday 7:00 A.M. – 6:00 P.M. Pacific Standard Time (8x5 Paid Support). The 24x7 Paid Support plan includes software subscription and next-business-day advanced replacement of hardware. The 8x5 Paid Support plan includes software subscription but not the advanced replacement option. Both levels of Aerohive Paid Support provide access to the Aerohive Technical Support team by phone or online.⁴
