Access points for high density environments with no performance loss.
In our company regional, our entire data network infrastructure is Extreme containing POE switches and wifi access points. We manage this equipment through the cloud software that the manufacturer sold us. The extreme access points have been in use for almost two years and are model 250 Wifi 5 - 802.11ac wave 2. This solution is excellent, and we are very pleased to meet all our internet connection and access requirements. The main issue with this purchase was resolving internet slowness and connection security issues through Radius 802.1x authentication and guest portal.

Is ExtremeWireless worth the cost?
We utilize ExtremeWireless in our district for our Wireless Access Point solution. These devices are cloud-managed, which was inherited by Aerohive (Extreme bought them out). Very configurable based on what your needs are - these devices can support up to 200 devices per SSID, and every setting imaginable can be tweaked - such as individual Radio profiles on a per AP basis.
use both AP and switches when the price point sensitive builds. We use this when the hire price sku items are out of reach and can provide a solution that will meet the needs. This also meets the needs to be cloud managed

Aerohive-Needs work
The Aerohive Wireless wifi solution was implemented at our corporate office, along with customers we support. It addressed the issue of centralized management of a wifi solution, and one of the first to provide such service in the industry. We have since replaced it at our corporate office with another solution, but it was a good starting point learning this type of technology.
We use Aerohive APs throughout our warehouses to support our distribution as well as supply chain. It addresses all issues with connecting the thousands of device that relies on our APs to communicate and connect to our core infrastructure services.
Aerohive is used across multiple companies and at multiple locations in our infrastructure. Each Aerohive broadcasts multiple SSIDs each with its own individual VLAN and integrates with Windows Network Policy Server to utilize AD security groups to define specific users to specific VLANs.
Wireless connections are shared between the Aerohive Access Points, so users moving between APs are not required to manually reconnect.

Aerohive is Amazing!
Aerohive has been deployed within 2 of our many divisions within the company. We have found the Aerohive product to be far more robust than Ruckus, or Aruba in providing ease of access, policy creation, and overall management. We also use a lot of wireless scanner guns, which makes wireless more than just a critical device... we live or die by our wireless connectivity.
Aerohive Devices rarely have to be set up manually, so interference is minimal... even on the 2.4 gigahertz spectrum. This makes my life as an engineer much easier as I don't have to change things that don't need to be changed..

Aerohive Wireless: It just works!
We use Aerohive wireless to provide solid wi-fi across the organization, including one central office, two warehouses, and multiple small office/home office installations. With this latest generation of wi-fi tech, we now have visibility into wi-fi and switching across the entire organization, and remote troubleshooting and resolution of most issues is now a reality rather than a hypothetical.
We use Aerohive for remote access, typically for users working from home but also for very small offices. Representatives across all business units use the technology.
