Wireless network with easy cloud management and good user experience.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We had a Wireless network project and used the Aerohive Wireless WAN solution two years ago in our branch. We chose this solution because it is an architecture with cloud management and easy to install, manage and maintain. The Aerohive controller is in a cloud that we can access via the web from anywhere and the access points are installed on the roof of the offices in a plug and play way and connecting to the network via ethernet cable. The ethernet cable itself energizes the equipment and does not require the use of an external power supply. The Aerohive network is excellent, has great performance, good signal coverage and provides a controlled access environment for employees and visitors.
