The Network Impact of 802.11n   450 KB 802.11n promises to bring revolutionary advances in bandwidth, throughput, and reliability to the wireless LAN. It will also have a perhaps unforeseen impact on the wired network, as well. Bandwidth, throughput and reliability will now become an end-to-end network problem, particularly in cases where the WLAN is deployed as network infrastructure rather than as an overlay.

802.11n Technology Primer   788 KB In less than a decade, wireless LANs have evolved from a niche technology useable only by a few specialized applications to the default media of choice for millions of businesses and consumers. And WLANs continue to evolve. The latest generation of high-speed wireless LAN technology, based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Draft 802.11n standard, are now becoming available.

Cooperative Control Architecture Whitepaper   1.24 MB Aerohive Networks has introduced an innovative new class of wireless infrastructure equipment called a Cooperative Control Access Point (CC-AP). A CC-AP enables a next generation enterprise wireless LAN architecture called a cooperative control WLAN architecture. This paper discusses the benefits of this approach and the key underlying technologies of cooperative control, best path forwarding and policy enforcement at the edge. Download the whitepaper >>

Enterprise Wireless LAN Architecture Whitepaper, by Craig Mathias, Principal, Farpoint Group   295 KB While many have assumed we are at the end of the road with respect to wireless LAN architecture, the high degree of variability within modern controller-based architecture should serve as a warning that such is not the case. Cooperative control architecture represents an interesting and innovative approach to wireless LAN systems, one that incorporates a number of interesting features and corresponding benefits.

The Importance of Building High-Availability Wireless LANs Whitepaper   365 KB The last 5 years of enterprise wireless LANs have enabled IT professionals to push high-availability techniques to the network edge, closer to users than ever before. By eliminating the need for controllers, the Cooperative Control Architecture from Aerohive Networks delivers unprecedented levels of availability, resiliency and scalability to mission-critical WLANs while significantly reducing the costs and complexity associated with controller deployments.
