Performance-optimized indoor 802.11ac Wave 2 Dual-Radio 4x4:4 MIMO access point for high capacity environments.

AP550 is engineered for high performance in demanding environments, with data rates up to 3.46Gbps. AP550 features software defined radio that allows IT managers to enable 802.11ac 5 GHz performance on both radios. AP550 extends support to the next-generation Wi-Fi clients, such as smartphones, tablets, and high-performance laptops that have integrated 802.11ac Wave 2 support.

With the underlying powerful HiveOS and innovative distributed Cooper­ative Control architecture, AP550 brings to market a rich set of enterprise­grade features and best­in­class performance. In addition, the integrated BLE radio and a USB interface in the access point lay the foundation for a wide variety of deployment use­cases in IoT and proximity/location­ oriented services.

AP550 is a key component of the Aerohive Connect solution. Connect provides cloud-managed connectivity built on Aerohive’s industry-first cooperative control Wi­Fi focused on optimizing speed and resilience. Connect is centrally managed from the cloud, allowing for simple, fast, and powerful management.
