AP250

High performance, general-purpose, 802.11ac

Wave 2 dual-radio 3x3:3 Access Point

AP250 is an excellent choice to provide instant adaption to

ever-changing capacity needs. AP250 features dual radio, 3x3:3

MU MIMO, providing full 802.11ac technology performance with

data rates up to 2.6 Gbps per access point using existing 802.3af

PoE infrastructure.

While AP250 inherits the signature elements of Aerohive access points
such as the powerful HiveOS and innovative distributed Cooperative
Control architecture, it also includes new features such as built-in BLE

and software-dened radio. Built-in BLE (Bluetooth Low-Energy) radio
enables proximity, indoor location tracking and other location-based
mobile engagement services. Software dened radio allows IT manag­ers to enable 802.11ac performance on both radios to provide the best
of coverage and capacity
