Introducing the Xirrus XR-500


Xirrus takes the complexity out of high performance wireless with the XR-500, a new class of low cost, cloud provisioned and manageable Access Point. The XR-500 provides superior price/performance in a zero touch Wi-Fi AP that delivers uncompromised performance to ensure your applications always work.

The 2 radio, 802.11n XR-500 AP supports an onboard controller with a dual core network processor to deliver the performance needed to operate advanced services directly at the network edge. The XR-500 supports complete application-level recognition and policy enforcement, an industry first in a wireless AP.

The XR-500 is part of the complete line of performance-scaled XR wireless products ranging from 2 to 16 radios and running the advanced ArrayOS operating system. Management is provided with the Xirrus Management System (XMS), including cloud and on-premise deployment options.


At A Glance

  • Zero touch provisioning with online activation
  • Integrated controller with same functionality as chassis-based XR solutions
  • Application Control to ensure application performance
  • 5GHz optimized with dual 5GHz operation for future proof migration
  • 2.4GHz optimized for supporting high densities of 2.4GHz clients
  • Manageable via XMS on-premise or cloud deployment options

Application Control

Xirrus XR wireless Arrays and APs are the industry’s first and only solutions to integrate next-generation application recognition and control directly at the network edge where it is needed most.

High Performance

The Xirrus XR-500 AP is based on a dual core Cavium network processor that delivers uncompromised performance to all users. This design enables advanced services, policy enforcement, and RF management to be effectively delivered and distributed at the network edge without requiring a central controller

Unmatched Value

The Xirrus XR-500 Array offers Layer 7 Application Control, cloud-based network management support, BYOD iOS device optimization, software programmable radios, a distributed controller and much more. The XR-500 integrates seamlessly with the rest of our family of XR Arrays, and as your network expands, you have the option to upgrade from the XR-500 to our multi-radio Arrays without pulling additional wires or changing your wiring infrastructure.

Economical

Realize significant functionality and performance in a cost effective platform. Integrated controller means no central controller component that can add significant cost and complexity to a wireless network deployment.

Control

Improve user experience by prioritizing critical applications and applying network and security policies in every AP. Reduce network congestion and tame the unpredictability of BYOD directly at the network edge.

Spectrum Optimization

Adapt to changing Wi-Fi clients over time through the use of our software programmable radios that can migrate between 2.4GHz and 5GHz, compared to traditional APs that have a fixed configuration. Optimized 2.4GHz performance to support high densities of legacy clients.

Seamless

Integrate seamlessly with Xirrus’s line of chassis-based XR Arrays, all running the same ArrayOS operating system, advanced network services, and Xirrus Management System (XMS). Upgrade to Xirrus Arrays to add capacity with minimal changes to wiring infrastructure and placement.

Flexible

Together with the entire XR product family, complete deployment flexibility to provide the right solution scaled to the performance and density requirements of your environment, from basic coverage to ultra-high density.

Secure

Comprehensive security with stateful firewall, dedicated or time-sliced threat sensor radio, wireless IDS/IPS, and application-level policy enforcement in every AP.
