Hi Frank- Any idea about what aspects of the AeroHive model the other guys pick on? Lee ________________________________

Competitors like to poke holes at their product, but my (un-tested) impression is that it's pretty solid. If you ask for references, they do have some small to medium-sized build outs, but I'm not sure if they have any 500+ AP installations, yet.

Is interesting- they are a controller-less model, that *seems* to scale and compete with controller-based functionality based on the glossy. No idea how they are on the likes of fast roaming, etc. But part of my brain yearns for the days when there were no controllers, and wireless life was a lot simpler. (You never see WLAN controllers in Norman Rockwell paintings). Is anyone using Aerohive, even on a small scale? Lee Lee H.

In particular their 802.11N 340AP. I am interested in how they handle a large number of users in a large auditorium style classroom.
