Description
The AP350 is a durable, enterprise-grade, high performance (3×3) three spatial stream MIMO 802.11n Access Point, capable of datarates of 450Mbps per radio.
The AP350 is a rugged, high performing and highly reliable 802.11n access point. The AP350 provides high performance dual concurrent (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n (3×3) three spatial stream MIMO as well as dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet port service. With its extended temperature range, cast metal case and external antennas it is designed to be deployed in the most challenging of indoor environments.
The AP350 is a durable, enterprise-grade, (3×3) MIMO solution, designed for high bandwidth demand wireless enterprise environments. With multiple radios and the ability to provide service concurrently on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands, the AP350 can provide up to an aggregate data rate of 450 Mbps. The AP350 provides both mesh and support for legacy 802.11a, b, and g clients, through Aerohive’s industry unique and resilient controller-less architecture.
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 benefi ts 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, confi guration 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 traffi c or in making forwarding decisions, it eliminates the traffi c 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 benefi ts of both autonomous APs and controller-based solutions, without the drawbacks of either approach.
