What does this mean for 11ac?

11ac is more than just greater speed • 1G Ethernet transition was also about L3 switching and infrastructure requirements • 802.11n transition was about speed and replacing wired Ethernet • 10G/40G Ethernet transition is about Massively Scalable Data Centers and Software Defined Networking • First-generation 11ac is about preparing your network infrastructure for the massive increase in mobile devices and applications with higher performance expectations

How is Aerohive prepared for 11ac? • Cooperative Control is future-proof • Add 11ac? Just swap in the APs! • No need to upgrade controllers or support fewer APs per controller • HiveManager can manage many types of devices concurrently • Application Optimization • Optimized user experience based on business-critical applications – to that user! • Not just about video – but video you care about (Video conf-call gets better QoS than Youtube Video) • Mobile Device Controls • Built-in MDM to ensure security • Service-aware architecture

Key advantages of 802.11ac • More Speed • Increased channel width (160Mhz) • 256 QAM • Higher Density • Higher speed means more clients • By going faster you create more free airtime • Standards-based transmit beamforming • 2nd Gen only

802.11ac is an evolution of 802.11n What does this mean? It’s time for 5GHz This is the technology you need when you have run out of capacity with 802.11n This is as good as it gets at 2.4 GHz! There is nothing left in that band for us to improve!

Evolution of 11ac Benefits Max speeds of 11ac won’t be available until Phase 2 - 2014

Network Policy • Automatic policy template and sections • Flexible and allows changes as needs evolve • Single SSID and User Profiles across network policies

Wired and wireless Infrastructure 2012 MQ Aerohive is a Visionary! A Magic Quadrant Visionary for wired and wireless Infrastructure The strongest “completeness of vision” in the quadrant (the farthest to the right) • An innovation leader with products such as its Bonjour Gateway and its cooperative control architecture, which eliminates the need for a dedicated controller and provides a cost competitive solution without sacrificing functionality. • Aerohive should be considered for any overlay WLAN enterprise opportunities in North America, Western Europe or Australia/New Zealand, especially in the education, healthcare and retail markets. • Its controller-less, mesh-based architecture provides an easy-to-use and robust solution with lower operational costs, which makes it a standard bearer for market pricing of equivalent functionality.
