Chapter 13 HiveOS

You can deploy a single HiveAP and it will provide wireless access as an autonomous AP (access point). However, if 
you deploy two or more HiveAPs in a hive, you can provide superior wireless access with many benefits. A hive is a 
set of HiveAPs that exchange information with each other to form a collaborative whole (see 

Figure 1

). Through 

coordinated actions based on shared information, hive members can provide the following services that autonomous 
APs cannot:

•

Consistent QoS (Quality of Service) policy enforcement across all hive members

•

Coordinated and predictive wireless access control that provides fast roaming to clients moving from one hive 
member to another

•

Best-path routing for optimized data forwarding

•

Automatic radio frequency and power selection
