Aerohive AP1130

802.11ac

AP1130 is a 2x2:2 802.11ac access point which provides high speed data access not just with the new 802.11ac capable wireless clients but also improves user experience on the traditional 802.11n clients. As more APs are added to the network, HiveOS simply recognizes and automatically includes them in the network. Improvements to the radio management software account for the new 802.11ac radios automatically and allow for existing and new APs to coexist flawlessly.

Light Weight and Intuitive Design

AP1130 is one of industry’s lightest 802.11ac access points, allowing easy installation in hard to reach places like rooftops and poles by a single person. The AP also features intuitive LEDs which indicate the AP status and backhaul connections either over Ethernet or wireless (mesh backhaul). Additionally, AP1130 features a brand new capability to provide accurate tuning of directional antennas for long range point to point mesh connections. This capability provides for a visual and audio mechanism to accurately identify the most suitable orientation for antennas, such that the mesh link is formed at the highest possible negotiated rate, leading to improved user experience in areas without Ethernet connected APs.

Aerohive’s Cooperative Control Architecture

AP1130, like all Aerohive access points, is built upon the feature rich HiveOS operating system. HiveOS is the backbone of the Aerohive Cooperative Control architecture, and allows the access points to organize into groups or “hives” that coordinate advanced features such as layer 2/ layer 3 roaming, cooperative RF management, security information, and mesh networking without requiring a centralized controller. Cooperative Control provides all the benefits of coordinated, next- generation Wi-Fi with lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), more reliability, more scalability, higher performance, and with a focus on truly optimizing mobility in a mobile first enterprise.

Integrated Application Visibility and Control (AVC)

AP1130 supports full layer 7 Application Visibility and Control for a wide variety of applications, allowing prioritization of resources based on business priorities. Aerohive’s cloud or on-premise based management application – HiveManager allows the administrators to view top applications and users and design policies to prioritize or block applications based on what is critical to that particular environment. This user-focused approach ensures every user experience is optimized for mobility.
