AP230 Wireless Access Point

AEROHIVE NETWORKS AP230 Enterprise access points set a new price / performance standard for 802.11ac APs. By combining the latest in 3x3, 3-stream 802.11ac Gigabit Wi-Fi technology and advanced security and mobility management together into an economical package it allows you to deploy 802.11ac into every part of the network infrastructure – from Corp HQ to remote branches and outlets to every campus
and classroom.

With HiveOS at its heart and the ability to provide full Wi-Fi functionality on legacy POE infrastructure, the AP230 maintains the controller-less price/performance standard Aerohive has set and creates solution pricing that allows enterprises of all sizes to broadly deploy 802.11ac for their mobility future.

The AP230 provides high-performance, dual concurrent 2.4Ghz 802.11n/g/b radio with Turbo-QAM™and 5Ghz 802.11ac/n/a radio with beamforming which can support legacy 802.11a, b, g and n clients and interoperate with the rest of the Aerohive Cooperative Control devices to provide a seamless enterprise-class experience for all connected users.
