Engineered with security features to meet regulations like payment card industry (PCI 3.0) and HIPAA and Wi-Fi technology to address high-density environments, like 1:1 computing classrooms and online testing initiatives, the AP230 incorporates the full advanced software features required by every organization. The AP230 also incorporates enough processing horsepower to run sophisticated application visibility and control functionality that allows for tracking of 700 application signatures and even enables custom application signature tracking all at Gigabit data rates. Now policies can be set on any application fingerprint; even proprietary enterprise applications.

The latest release of HiveOS combined with the AP230 allows an Aerohive-based network to create a "Plug-and-Play" solution that addresses high-density, high-performance requirements while laying the ground work for a phased approach to upgrading your network to 802.11ac and without requiring you to upgrade your existing POE infrastructure. The advancements in energy efficiency allow the AP230 to provide improved client capacity and full 3-stream 802.11ac performance while using POE infrastructure. As more APs are added to the network, HiveOS simply recognizes and automatically includes them in the network. Improvements to the radio management software account for the 802.11ac radios automatically and allow for existing and APs to coexist flawlessly.
