Scaleable Latency Optimized Performance to 802.11n

Aerohive's controller-less wireless LAN architecture is ideal for 802.11n networks, because it eliminates the need to deploy the expensive, high-capacity controllers that are required to handle the increased throughput of 802.11n. Removing controllers from the network also eliminates the bandwidth bottlenecks, latency, and jitter that result from backhauling traffic through a controller. Resiliency is also increased when the single points of failure found in a controller-based architectures is eliminated. The result is a scalable wireless LAN that can support high-performance, mission-critical applications.

Aerohive IEEE 802.11n HiveAPs will allow for wireless mesh connections to operate at 802.11n speed and capacity providing for better aggregation of access traffic and traffic that has been routed to it from a neighboring HiveAP.

The Aerohive cooperative control architecture makes it easy for enterprises to upgrade their wireless LANs to 802.11n on an as-needed basis. Aerohive 802.11n HiveAPs may be seamlessly deployed in a Hive along with 802.11a/b/g HiveAPs. Aerohive also enables easy migration to 802.11n from autonomous or "fat" access points. If 802.11n HiveAPs are deployed on the same subnet or VLAN as an enterprise's fat access points, network users can even roam between the HiveAPs and the fat access points, which is often not possible with controller-based 802.11n deployments.
