802.11n Enterprise Wireless LAN Access Points
Aerohive’s 802.11n enterprise wireless LAN access points are an innovative class of wireless infrastructure equipment with cooperative control technology that provides the benefits of a controller-based wireless LAN solution, without requiring a controller or an overlay network.
Aerohive Access Points are organized into groups that share control information between them, and enable functions like secure and fast L2/L3 roaming, coordinated RF management, security, QoS, and mesh networking. This sharing capability enables a next-generation wireless LAN architecture that is easy to deploy and expand, as well as reliable, scalable, high-performing, and optimal for voice over WLAN – all without a controller.
AP110
Single-radio, dual-band, 2×2 MIMO with internal antennas, ideal for high-performance indoor use and single band (2.4 or 5 GHz) operation.
The AP110 is a high-performance, 802.11n, 2×2 MIMO access point with a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, delivering a data rate of 300Mbps with a single dual-band radio.
The AP110 is ideal for deployments where a single radio 802.11a/b/g/n solution is sufficient, such as small retail environments, telecommuters, and micro branches. Single radio APs can also be effective in low-capacity environments where the benefits of a second radio are small because there are few clients vying for airtime. The AP110 can operate in either band – 2.4GHz or 5GHz – providing the opportunity to use the less congested 5GHz band if the clients are all 5GHz capable.
Features & Benefits
- Flexible environmental support enabling deployment in a variety of environments
- Plenum rated for indoor, office environments
- Supports 802.3af Power over Ethernet so deployment does not require access to power outlet
- Single Radio (a/b/g/n) able to function in a mixed-client environment at either 2.4 or 5 GHz
- Variety of mounting options including desktop, wall mount, and ceiling tile clips
- Innovative, low-impact design that blends easily into an office environment
- Low-distraction indicators appear as a softly glowing logo, rather than brightly blinking lights
