What happens when you throw 100 startup companies in the same office space and they work solely over a wireless network? Well, for starters (no pun intended!), they turn to Aerohive and leave Cisco behind, relying on a company that not only gets wireless infrastructure, but deeply understands the needs of entrepreneurs. After all, Aerohive has its own successful startup story, pioneering controller-less WLANs.
MassChallenge is a startup accelerator located in the heart of Boston, supporting entrepreneurs in a variety of ways, including an annual global program and startup competition. MassChallenge hosts 100 companies each year, providing office space, access to funding, legal advice, media attention and marketing resources, as well as hosting events that draw 12,000 people annually.
MassChallenge deployed Aerohive access points, including new models equipped with 802.11ac to allow Gigabit Wi-Fi, a crucial requirement for startups that use intensive cloud solutions. The company is also using Aerohive switches and routers, as well as HiveManager Online.
