Performance-Optimized 802.11ac Dual-Radio 3x3:3 Access Point

AP230 sets a new price-to-performance standard for 802.11ac APs. By combining the 3x3, 3-stream 802.11ac
Gigabit Wi-Fi technology and advanced security and mobility management together into an economical pack­age it allows you to deploy 802.11ac into every part of the network infrastructure – from corporate HQ to remote
branches and to every campus and classroom.

The aggregate speeds of up to 1.75Gbps, AP230 provides high-perfor­mance, dual concurrent 2.4Ghz 802.11n/g/b radio and 5Ghz 802.11ac/n/a
radio with beamforming and interoperates with the rest of the Aerohive
Cooperative Control devices to provide a seamless enterprise-class experi­ence for all connected users. With HiveOS at its core and the ability to pro­vide full Wi-Fi functionality on legacy PoE infrastructure, the AP230 allows
enterprises of all sizes to broadly deploy 802.11ac for their mobility future.

The AP230 benets from an AI-driven Wi-Fi architecture capable of
self-organizing, self-learning, self-healing and self-optimizing in the most
challenging environments. Cooperative Control eliminates single points of
failure and bottlenecks, delivering bulletproof stability and unbridled per­formance, perfectly complimenting the unrivalled capabilities of HiveOS

- a stateful L2-L7 DPI rewall for context-based access security, advanced
and customizable QoS for trafc optimization, intelligent meshing algo­rithms, Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK) and much more.

All Aerohive APs can be centrally managed using Aerohive’s out-of-band
cloud network management system - HiveManager. HiveManager is an in­dustry-leading and visionary approach to cloud-managed networking, built
from the ground up to take full advantage of the SD-LAN and SD-WAN
solution from Aerohive. Working in tandem with Aerohive’s cutting-edge
HiveOS, HiveManager leverages state-of-the-art cloud technology. Benet
from unied, full-stack management of Wi-Fi, switching and routing, cen­tralized monitoring and conguration, real-time and historical reporting,
simplied troubleshooting, integrated RF planner tools and much more.

HiveManager is available in two editions: Connect and Select. The Con­nect solution is bundled with Aerohive access points and switches and
is free for the lifetime of the device. Connect is the perfect solution for
those looking to provide robust, yet enterprise-grade connectivity, without
having to invest in the full suite of management features. The optional
upgrade to Select unlocks a slew of advanced features and capabilities
that enhance network management, security and visibility.
