Rapid Deployment Kits

Enterprise Class Wireless in the Field.


Disasters require an immediate response to save lives and property. The Xirrus Rapid Deployment Wireless Array Kit (RDK) is designed to quickly and simply provide a robust connectivity solution, supporting voice, video and data access to many users over a large area, without the complexity of deploying multiple APs, antennas, controllers, etc. The RDK delivers out-of-the-box capability for deploying a fully functional wireless network.



The RDK enables fast and easy deployment of Wi-Fi service that can support hundreds of users with a single, pre-configured device. The RDK provides a complete, portable wireless solution with everything needed to create a Wi-Fi network in two rugged cases. It is easily deployed indoors or outdoors for temporary situations requiring wireless access.  All that is required is an AC power source and a Wi-Fi network, and it can be ready for use in less than 5 minutes.



Key Features of the RDK’s deployability include:

  • Man Portable – The RDK solution comes in two portable ruggedized cases allowing for easy transport and physical setup.
  • Integrated design – The Xirrus Wireless Array integrates radio, controller, security, and AAA functions into a single device, significantly reducing the number of components that must be deployed for an operational Wi-Fi network
  • < 5-minute deployment – A pre-configured RDK can be operational in less than 5 minutes.
  • Uplink – The RDK connects directly via Ethernet to a modem, router or satellite uplink.
  • Mobility – The RDK can be mounted on a tripod or pole mounted on a fixed or mobile location (trucker/humvee), allowing great flexibility and rapid relocation of the system.
