The Aerohive AP170 is an enterprise-grade, high performance (2x2) MIMO solution, designed for
high bandwidth demand outdoor wireless environments. With extended temperature range and
a watertight chassis the AP170 can deployed in most every outdoor environment on earth. With
four antennas and the ability to provide service concurrently on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands, the
AP170 provides both high speed mesh and support for 802.11n as well as legacy 802.11a, b, and
g clients, through Aerohive’s industry unique and resilient controller-less architecture.

Software Features
HiveOS
All Aerohive APs 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 APs. 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.
