Aerohive Networks is pioneering a next-generation enterprise wireless LAN architecture. Aerohive's cooperative control wireless LAN architecture eliminates wireless LAN controllers, providing all the management, mobility, and security of controller-based architectures without the cost, capacity, performance and availability issues associated with controller deployments. In addition, Aerohive solutions provide the reliability and scalability necessary for mission-critical networks and are optimized for voice over wireless LAN (VoWLAN) applications.

"Our challenge was to deploy a cost-effective, secure wireless convenience network that has the performance, reliability, and scalability to support our current demanding, mission-critical applications, as well as future needs such as voice over wireless LAN," said Nick Colakovic, director of IT, First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., the nation's largest provider of diversified industrial real estate. "We chose the Aerohive cooperative control solution over controller-based wireless LAN solutions because it easily met our requirements today and gave us the confidence that it could economically scale in the future."
