Customer Profile – Healthcare Problem/Requirement • Make electronic medical records applications portable and provide wireless access to Brookdale’s guests and families • Meet compliance standards for secure healthcare environments • A WLAN that offered resiliency, reliability, and performance and at the right price Largest Assisted Living and Retirement Community Company in the US delivers higher levels of care with Wi-Fi and EMR, and Provides Wireless Internet Access to Residents Solution “We found that when we wanted to get into true enterprise wireless, we wanted to reduce costs by not having controllers in place,” Fadrowski said. “In a controller-based solution … to deliver the functionality we required we had to have a controller here in Milwaukee (where the data center resides) and a controller in every community, thus raising costs quite a bit, adding to single points of failure, and having to build in more redundancy and more cost with controller-type systems.”. Chris Fadrowski Senior Director of IT Infrastructure • Aerohive’s controller-less cooperative control Access Points • HiveManager NMS provides centralized configuration and monitoring and simplifies provisioning for system-wide policy management Results • Brookdale has deployed 6,000+ Aerohive APs over the last 24 months at 622 locations and will continue to deploy WLAN’s at a further 400+ locations over the next 12 months • Brookdale is able to meet its audit requirements and provide reliable internet services that enhance the resident’s quality of life

Today we have 300 Restaurants and 200 Mall stores utilizing the Aerohive solution for handheld POS. We will roll out another 350 this year. Our greatest challenge was introducing the Aerohive name to our management team and explaining why this smaller company should win the business.
