Secure and Affordable Wireless Networking for Headquarters and Branch Offices With Cooperative Control Wireless LAN Equipment From Aerohive

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. The company has 520 employees in more than 40 offices and is in the business of leasing, developing, redeveloping, buying, selling, and managing industrial properties, such as R&D/flex, manufacturing, light industrial, regional warehouse, and bulk warehouse facilities. First Industrial desired a wireless LAN to provide the company with conference room Internet access, guest Internet access, and wireless mobility, both in its Chicago headquarters and in its branch offices throughout the United States and around the world. Ultimately, First Industrial selected Aerohive's award-winning cooperative control wireless LAN equipment. Aerohive cooperative control access points ("HiveAPs") require no network controllers or overlay networks. Instead, software in the HiveAPs enables them to self-organize into groups called "hives" and to share network control information.
