Q: What do an American-engined British sports car and Aerohive have in common?
A: Two letters (AC) and the power to perform!
It’s events season here in Europe and IP Expo in London and Infosec NL in Utrecht are gearing up for the Aerohive Buzz this month. And this year it’s going to be big, featuring an AC Cobra competition and some serious Gigabit WiFi and performance discussions!
Enterprise mobility is going to be hot on the agenda at both events and of course we’re looking forward to meeting with customers, partners and attendees for some real tech talk and mobile strategy chat. I expect we will see the usual hype at both tradeshows around mobile security and privacy concerns, but when it comes to making mobile really fit for business at Aerohive we know performance (not scaremongering) is everything!
That’s why we’ll be showcasing the latest in Gigabit Wi-Fi innovations, sharing best practice on supporting the user whilst ensuring control and discussing new architecture strategies - all geared toward delivering a mobile platform to enable real business performance.
It will be the first time we showcase our new 802.11ac APs, with live demos on the stand, and we have two of our very best heading-up seminar sessions on the dawn of Gigabit Wi-fi and the new performance challenges that consumerisation and mobility brings to business.
Fighting rising traffic demands, multiple devices, mobile app access and the complex security and control requirements that come with it – it’s tough for traditional network infrastructures, and IT teams, to keep pace today. Ben Wilson, our London speaker, and Roy Verboeket in Utrecht, will be guiding attendees through these challenges - presenting on what Gigabit Wi-fi really means for business and the latest in intelligent network architectures that can provide the missing link to enabling enterprise performance.
If you plan on visiting the shows – you can check out the seminar sessions and activities on the stand here for Infosec NL and here for IP Expo -
Oh – and back to the car. The link there is the AC of course. We’ll be running our biggest competition yet, and across both events: crack our safe on the stand – and win a Cobra AC. A real, V8, drivable one – to own! I’m a motor head, and when starting to have discussions around the power and performance available to enterprises with our new range of .ac access points – I couldn’t help but make the two-letter analogy.

So, if you’re a safe-cracking expert (or an amateur like me) I’d recommend a visit and giving it a go. After all, it’s a change from all those iPads on offer!!
I’ll be sure to fill you in on insight from both events, including our attendee survey on the latest mobility challenges, in my next blog post.
