Building a high-capacity wireless network for a conference center, convention center or stadium is a strategic investment that needs to last. It must support thousands of concurrent users, scale easily, and enable revenue-generating services, typically requiring lots of access points, cable drops and switches.
But why spend a large portion of your budget on wired infrastructure when what you really want is loads of wireless bandwidth? Implement a unified wireless and wired access network with high bandwidth for mobile access.
The Xirrus advantage for Large Public Venues:
-
More radios equals more bandwidth meaning happier users
-
Scalable capacity and investment protection with modular, upgradable architecture
-
Easier and faster to deploy with less equipment to install
-
Less equipment means less budget required for the supporting wired infrastructure
-
Comprehensive network services to help monetize the network
Xirrus Wireless Arrays give you more wireless bandwidth with less. With up to 16 radios per Array, less cabling and switching is required so more budget is devoted to the wireless capacity users crave.
High-gain directional antennas reach beyond the range limits of traditional access points delivering greater coverage with fewer devices in more accessible, aesthetic locations, without risk of coverage holes.
The modular, adaptable architecture of Xirrus Arrays also delivers superior flexibility and scalability. With software programmable radios, simply switch an existing radio from 2.4GHz to higher capacity 5GHz when needed. Add more radios to existing Arrays to increase capacity without adding extra equipment. Or upgrade older radios to new standards such as 802.11ac without rip-and-replace of existing APs. That’s investment protection that enables bigger returns.
With multi-core network processor computing power embedded into each Array, all types of business and consumer-centric wireless services are possible: from simple pay-per-use self-registration, to tiered services, to location-based advertising and sponsorship.
Combine Xirrus world-class wireless network with Xirrus access switches and you can deploy a unified access network, giving you:
-
Single pane of glass management for wireless and wired networks
-
Choice of cloud or on-premise management
-
Power over Ethernet (PoE) for IP phones, access points, video cameras
-
Auto activation and zero-touch provisioning with Xirrus Mobilize
-
Scalable network edge with stacking
-
Advanced security at the point of network access
Xirrus helps you simplify wireless network deployment by unifying wireless and wired infrastructure, delivering power over Ethernet to in accessible points like high up in the ceiling in a convention center or behind a concrete block in a stadium.
