Aerohive HiveAP 330 Access Point
The Aerohive HiveAP 330 series access point is a high performing and highly reliable 802.11n access point. The Hive AP 330 provides high performance dual concurrent (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n 3x3 with three spatial stream MIMO (450 Mbps per radio) as well as dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet port service.
The Aerohive HiveAP 330 is an enterprise-grade, (3x3) MIMO solution, designed for high bandwidth demand wireless enterprise environments. With multiple radios and the ability to provide service concurrently on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands, the HiveAP 330 can provide up to an aggregate data rate of 450 Mbps. The HiveAP 330 provides both mesh and support for legacy 802.11a, b, and g clients, through Aerohive’s industry unique and resilient controller-less architecture.

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.
