Enterprise Wi-Fi AP

The Aerohive AP130 is an enterprise-grade wireless access point built for offices and classrooms that need reliable 802.11ac coverage. It supports dual-band operation on 2.40 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. The unit draws power through PoE, simplifying installation where mains sockets are scarce. It targets IT teams deploying dense Wi-Fi without replacing existing switching infrastructure.

867 Mbit/s 802.11ac throughput

The decisive figure is the 867 Mbit/s maximum data rate delivered by 2x2 2-stream 802.11ac radios. This capacity determines whether the AP can handle the concurrent client load in ultra-high density environments. Buyers who need higher per-client throughput or more spatial streams must look beyond this model. The specification sets the hard ceiling for wireless performance in the deployment.

HiveOS and Cooperative Control

The bundled HiveOS operating system and distributed Cooperative Control architecture remove the need for a separate hardware controller. They enable full enterprise features such as advanced security and device lifecycle management on legacy PoE switches. This software stack is what makes the AP manageable at scale without extra licensing cost. Without it the hardware would require a standalone management platform.

Questions about this item

What does the 867 Mbit/s rate mean for actual throughput on my network?

The 867 Mbit/s figure is the maximum physical-layer data rate defined by the 802.11ac standard for this 2x2, dual-stream radio; real-world throughput will be lower due to protocol overhead, interference and client capabilities.

What PoE standard does the AP130 use and what does that limit?

It operates on standard Power over Ethernet, drawing both power and data through a single Ethernet cable, so no separate mains adapter is required and deployment is limited only by the PoE budget of your switch or injector.

How is the AP130 mounted and what physical space does it need?

The unit is designed for ceiling or wall mounting using the included bracket kit; its low-profile enclosure fits a standard drop-ceiling tile grid and requires only the Ethernet cable entry point for installation.
