The Xirrus Wi-Fi Array architecture displaces both overlay Wi-Fi offerings and switched Ethernet to the desktop — ideal
for offices, cubicles, conference rooms, auditoriums, campuses, warehouses, remote users, emergency response, etc.
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 support for more users on a per device and per system basis that 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.
The Xirrus product family includes:
4, 8, 12, 16, or 24 802.11abg+n Wi-Fi Arrays Intrusion Detection & Prevention Systems
