Comments

“We are excited to add Aerohive to our portfolio of vendors. With Aerohive’s innovative Cloud Networking platform and tiered solution offering, service providers will be able to provide high-quality WLAN service to their customers,” said Bob Nelson, chief operating officer, WAV, Inc. “Customers will be thrilled with the enterprise-grade, cloud managed, yet highly affordable Connect solution, while mid-market and enterprise customers look forward to the innovative, advanced features of the Select solution. Combined with seamless scalability of the solution, and a complete range of next-generation access points and switches, Aerohive provides added value across the board, for service providers and end customers alike.”

“The markets we are entering have, until recently, been served by either a handful of low-end, low-cost offerings, or stagnating enterprise solutions that are failing to evolve with Service Provider and customer needs,” said Ron Gill, vice president of Americas sales, Aerohive Networks. “Both Service Providers and their customers now expect more as connectivity becomes increasingly essential when on the move. Aerohive provides a platform for Service Providers to grow their businesses and deliver the best experiences to their customers.”
