Aerohive Networks announced 802.11ax access points. The company intends to deliver three new models in mid 2018. The new 802.11ax Wi-Fi access points AP630, AP650, and AP650X are 802.11ax-capable as well as being fully compatible with existing Wi-Fi devices. The company's 802.11ax access points will launch with a new compact industrial design, enabling them to blend in with any decor, and will be ceiling-mounted using a push-and-twist, easy on/off, multi-ceiling-rail-compatible bracket. Initial installation using the new bracket takes less than one minute and removal can be accomplished in a matter of seconds. The Aerohive 802.11ax AP650 and 650X will both be equipped with the company's unique software-defined, dual-5 GHz radios along with 802.3 bz backhaul connectivity. The AP650X will come with an extended temperature range and external antennas for hard-to-reach and industrial-usage situations. All three of the company's 802.11ax access points will have integrated BLE and USB connectivity for enhanced location-driven services and the ability to provide additional wireless access options for IoT and other devices.
