Primary/Secondary Education

"We wanted the same kind of environment within our regular data network infrastructure that they would on a wireless. Xirrus can stand foot-to-foot with traditional data infrastructure."

-Chad Branum, exe. director of technology for Coppell ISD



Innovative schools improve learning with intelligent mobile technology. Mobility is the new norm; faculty and students now expect to connect wirelessly. With the growth of wireless user density in the classroom, teachers can engage students in new ways to enhance learning. 

When provided with a reliable wireless network with fewer access points school-wide, cost of wireless implementation and management is reduced. And when delivered flawless wireless access in busy libraries and study halls, student satisfaction rises. 

Because of the high density and mobile nature of its users, education is at the forefront of the wireless evolution. Classrooms are now highly dependent on digital resources and the instructional applications they enable. In the primary and secondary school space, there is a drive toward the 21st century (or digital) classroom. Many schools are embracing next-generation technologies and programs that expand learning options, such as 1:1 laptop-to-student and bring your own device (BYOD) initiatives. These initiatives create demands on existing Wi-Fi infrastructures that can increase by a factor of 10 in a single school year. A high-performance, reliable wireless solution is imperative.


With Xirrus High Performance Wireless Network solutions, you can:
  • Identify and prioritize learning applications over recreational applications 
  • Exceed the bandwidth expectations of students and faculty
  • Effectively support cutting-edge curriculum with appropriate instructional technology
  • Protect your institution from risk and security breaches
  • Anticipate the changes that come with future technology with a highly scalable solution

Xirrus’ solutions were developed from the ground up for a wireless world and designed to deliver wired-like performance. They support the unique requirements of school environments, particularly in terms of device density, traffic capacity and the ability to scale on demand. Our innovative, patented technology integrates multiple components into a single device. This helps provide uncompromised access to sophisticated applications and services (multimedia, mobile, cloud-based) school-wide.


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 access network by unifying wireless and wired infrastructure to deliver a seamless experience for students and teachers alike.
