Aerohive HiveOS

HiveOS is the operating system that powers Aerohive access points and Aerohive's unique Cooperative Control architecture.
Cooperative Control is a distributed computational system, much like Internet routing, that provides robust wireless LAN functionality without a controller. Powered by HiveOS, Aerohive networks are highly resilient WLANs that have no single point of failure, and can route around any issues with access points or the network itself, in real time.
