Xirrus – Fast Reliable Wireless Wifi Networking
Jul 3rd

Xirrus Wireless Array
Xirrus is a fantastic product on the market that provides a wireless network (Wireless communication is the transfer of info over a distance without the use of electrical conductors or “wires.” )
What is the Xirrus Mission?
Replace switched Ethernet to the desktop with Wi-Fi as the primary network connection for the enterprise.
What Sets Xirrus Apart from the Competition?
We planned for the success of Wi-Fi!!! We deliver the most Wi-Fi coverage, bandwidth, throughput, and support for more users while using fewer devices than anyone else in the industry. Plus, we back our designs and proposals up with the only implementation guarantee in the industry.
Guaranteed wireless coverage!
What is the Wi-Fi Array?
The Xirrus Wi-Fi Array architecture displaces both overlay Wi-Fi offerings and switched Ethernet to the desktop. The Wi-Fi Array integrates 4, 8, 12, 16 or 24 802.11abg+n radios coupled to a high-gain directional antenna system into a single device along with an onboard multi-gigabit switch, Wi-Fi controller, firewall, dedicated Wi-Fi threat sensor, and an embedded spectrum analyzer. The Wi-Fi Array provides more than enough bandwidth, security, and control to replace switched Ethernet to the desktop as the primary network connection. The Xirrus Wi-Fi Array delivers the most coverage, bandwidth, throughput, and user density than anything else available on the market today – resulting in a solution that uses 75% fewer devices, cabling, switch ports, power, space, and installation time compared with any other offering.
What is Xirrus’ long term sustainable differentiation?
Xirrus’ long-term sustainable differentiation is based upon RF innovation. This focus on RF innovation (specifically RF isolation, management, and shaping) has enabled us to develop the Wi-Fi Array based architecture that delivers more coverage, bandwidth, throughput, and user density on a per device and per system basis that is far and above any other offering. The Wi-Fi Array platform (HW and SW) and the patents that protect it have successfully positioned Xirrus as the only viable replacement for wired Ethernet to the desktop for the enterprise moving forward.

The benefits of Xirrus Wi-Fi are well understood by leading Enterprises. The difference between Xirrus Wi-Fi and all other offerings is significant – nothing else comes close.
In a head-to-head technical competition Xirrus does not lose, because on a per device and per system basis, we provide:
- More intelligence
- More bandwidth
- More throughput
- More coverage
- More channels
- Higher user density
- Better security
- Better reliability
- Simpler installation
- Automatic channel assignment
- Automatic cell sizing
- 100% Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed
