Extreme Networks Aerohive Atom AP30 Enterprise Quality Wi-Fi Access Point

Description

The Aerohive Atom AP30 revolutionizes the way Wi-Fi is designed, deployed, and RE-deployed, providing enterprise access, monitoring, and analytics in a compact form factor. With a simple and intuitive design coupled with pain-free installation and automated over-the-air setup, Atom AP30 is the ideal choice for a variety of dynamic use cases including delivering instant network access, plugging RF holes, providing security and analytics, and remote VPN access.
Aerohive Atom AP30 is equipped with 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology for connectivity and monitoring services. With multiple operating modes, the Atom AP30 can be used to extend Wi-Fi connectivity via existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, bridge IoT devices, or scan the RF environment for business and security applications.
Atom AP30 can be deployed as a complete access or sensor solution, or in combination with Aerohive’s extensive Wi-Fi portfolio for high density networks. With client mode, Atom AP30 can even mesh to 3rd party networks.
Administrators can quickly deploy the Atom AP30 in any location that has connectivity requirements. No need to run new cables or ceiling-mount this access point, simply find a power outlet and plug it in. Once powered, Atom AP30 can be Ethernet connected to a neighboring data outlet, mesh to an existing network, or operate as an overlay sensor.
Aerohive Atom AP30 can help organizations quickly, easily, and more cost-effectively solve for all manner of use cases without having to install or re-position a ceiling-mounted access point, including, but not limited to:
Quickly eliminate Wi-Fi dead zones
– Aerohive Atom AP30 instant- ly extends coverage to dead zones. Aerohive Atom AP30 can be temporarily or permanently installed in minutes to eliminate dead zones in distant corners of the office, long hallways or passageways, staircases, break- rooms, storage rooms, etc., saving the time and money of pulling new cable or re-positioning existing ceiling-mounted access points.
Easily solve density issues in meeting spaces
– Aerohive Atom AP30 can augment overloaded ceiling-mounted access points in any-sized meeting space. Aerohive Atom AP30 can be temporarily or permanently installed in minutes to mitigate overloaded ceiling-mounted access points in conference rooms, training rooms, cafeterias, lobby areas, waiting rooms, gymnasiums, etc.
Improve performance for 3rd party networks
– Aerohive Atom AP30 can connect to 3rd-party Wi-Fi networks to help compensate coverage or capacity challenges. With sensor mode equipped, Aerohive Atom AP30 may also be used to monitor 3rd-party networks for efficiency so that administrators can optimize their network accordingly.
Instantly extend secure corporate connectivity
– Aerohive Atom AP30 can instantly extend corporate connectivity to anywhere you can plug it in to a power socket and get an IP address. Aerohive Atom AP30’s native VPN capability can instantly make your corporate SSID and security available for teleworkers, marketing events, sales demonstrations, offsite meetings, embedded employees consulting for other companies, temporary offices, and so on.
Simply connect the previously unconnected
– Aerohive Atom AP30 can quickly and easily bridge an IoT device to an Aerohive or 3rd-party network in any easy or hard-to-reach location. Aerohive Atom AP30 can act like an IoT hub and securely connect any Wi-Fi and/or Ethernet-based IoT device and sensor.
Cost-effective solution for MDU connectivity
– Aerohive Atom AP30’s unique form factor and plug-ability makes it simple to install temporarily or permanently in an MDU, such as barracks, dormitories, hotels, motels, cruise ships, condominiums, apartments, etc.
EASY SET-UP:
The Atom AP30 automatically looks for neighboring APs with which to form a mesh. You can also configure the Ethernet port for bridge mode, and use it to connect a wired device, such as a printer or projector, to your network.
Status LED:
The Atom AP30 has a status LED on the top front edge of the chassis. When you plug the device into a wall socket, this light cycles through the following sequence:
Atom AP30 Status LED Color Patterns
Steady amber: The device is initializing, rebooting, or downloading new software.
Slow-blinking amber: The device is looking for a neighbor with which to establish a mesh connection. If the AP remains in a slow-blinking amber stage, it is too far away from the portal AP to establish a good connection.
Fast-blinking white: The device has received a password from a neighbor and is beginning mesh setup.
Mesh Connection Status: The LED stays in one of the following states for about 15 seconds before moving to the steady white stage:
No flashing white or amber: The signal is a the minimum level required to establish a mesh link, and the connection is not stable. The negotiated speed is less than 60 Mbps.
Slow flashing white or amber: The speed is slow but the connection is stable. The negotiated speed is between 60 and 90 Mbps. Use case: There is a need to add coverage to a dead zone, there are not many clients, and traffic levels are low.
Fast flashing white or amber: The speed is fast and the connection is stable. The negotiated speed is greater than 90 Mbps. Use case: A large group of clients or videos are using the mesh and need the best possible connection.
Steady White: The device has successfully established a CAPWAP connection and is operating normally. If the LED stays solid amber after the Mesh-connecting phase, the serial number has not been entered into ExtremeCloud IQ
