Aerohive HiveAP 120 Access Point
The Aerohive HiveAP 120 series access point provides state-of-the-art high performance 802.11n as well as a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port network service.
The Aerohive HiveAP 120 is a cost-effective, enterprise-grade (2x2) MIMO solution, ideal for education, healthcare and distributed enterprise environments. With two radios and the ability to provide service concurrently on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, the HiveAP 120 provides top performance (up to an aggregate data rate of 600 Mbps) at a low price point. The Aerohive HiveAP 120 provides both mesh and support for 802.11a, b, g and n clients, through Aerohive's industry unique and resilient Cooperative Control Wireless LAN Architecture, a controller-less architecture.

Features & Benefits
Flexible Hardware Platform
- Multiple radios provide concurrent 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n connections with no degradation in performance
- Automatic or dedicated mesh backup
- Plenum Rated APs for indoor, office environments
- Supports 802.3af PoE or a standard power adapter
Innovative Design
- Low profile design blends well into an office environment
- Feature optimized hardware design
- Low-distraction indicators appear as gently glowing rather than bright blinking lights
HiveOS - Software Features
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 benefits 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, configuration 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 traffic or in making forwarding decisions, it eliminates the traffic 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 benefits of both autonomous APs and controller-based solutions, without the drawbacks of either approach.
Aerohive's HiveManager NMS can be delivered two ways:
- HiveManager Online - a cloud-based management service from Aerohive
- HiveManager VMware virtual appliance - an on-premise VM management solution
Please note, Aerohive HiveManager NMS is not included and available separately.
