Wireless LAN Setup

Xirrus' next generation Wi-Fi Array has not only revolutionized wireless LAN architecture, providing up to 16 times more capacity and two times increase in range providing more coverage than traditional architectures, but has greatly simplified wireless LAN setup. With a typical wireless LAN, setup includes the installation of multiple appliances, antennas, switches, and other wireless LAN equipment. The Wi-Fi Array combines the functionality of a WLAN switch (the Array Controller), up to sixteen Integrated Access Points (IAPs), and a Multi-sector Antenna System in one device. And with one Wi-Fi Array able to support hundreds of users, even with demanding applications such as VoWLAN, wireless LAN setup can easily consist of installing just a few devices throughout your facility.

Simplify Wireless LAN Setup with the Wi-Fi Array

To aid in your wireless LAN setup, each Wi-Fi Array comes ready to install with a mounting bracket and template. For installations that require greater physical security for your wireless LAN equipment, or in which your Wi-Fi Array needs to be out of sight, we also have available a lockable, UL-rated 2x2 drop-in ceiling enclosure. Although a site survey is not required before a wireless LAN setup and deployment due to our product's naturally intuitive next-generation wireless LAN architecture, there are some basic recommendations: there should be a minimum of fifty feet between each Wi-Fi Array, and although nothing prevents a vertical installation, the units are designed and optimized to be installed horizontally, and your WLAN will get the best performance with a horizontal wireless LAN setup. Additionally, while the Wi-Fi Array is designed to be installed indoors, an outdoor wireless LAN setup can be achieved with the Wi-Fi Array with a secure, weatherproof enclosure. Xirrus also offers the best in Planning and Predicting software through our partnership with Motorola specifically designed for the Wi-Fi Array streamlining even the most demanding deployments.

Managing Your Enterprise's Wireless LAN Setup

The Xirrus' Centralized Management System enables IT managers to control up to 500 Wi-Fi Arrays either on a dedicated network appliance (the XM-3300), or as a software application (the XA-3300) loaded on an existing server in the IT closet. Our WLAN management system greatly simplifies large-scale wireless LAN setup and deployment, as it automatically discovers, authenticates, and configures new Wi-Fi Arrays as they join the network. Our Centralized Management System provides IT administrators with the tools they need to manage and take full advantage of the benefits offered by the Wi-Fi Array's revolutionary wireless LAN architecture.

Revolutionary Wireless LAN Architecture, Revolutionary Remote Power Solutions

Rounding out our family of next-generation wireless LAN equipment, the XP-3100 Remote DC Power System provides a power solution to facilitate wireless LAN setup when AC power is either unavailable or too costly to deploy. The XP-3100 easily fits into an existing IT closet rack and comes standard with one expansion module that can provide DC power to up to four Wi-Fi Arrays; the XP-3100 can, when fully populated with expansion modules, supply 48 volt DC power to a total for 12 Wi-Fi Arrays via standard CAT-5 data grade cable. Additionally, our Remote Power System can greatly decrease the costs associated with wireless LAN setup by providing an alternative to provisioning AC power.

The Evolution of Wireless LAN Equipment

Our entire Wi-Fi Array product family represents the evolution of wireless LAN equipment. Our wireless LAN architecture is informed by the best ideas from existing wireless LANs, combining them into a single, simple device, providing unprecedented ease in wireless LAN setup and expansion along with industry-leading capacity and range. The Wi-Fi Array can easily support hundreds of users, even if they're using bandwidth-intensive applications like voice over wireless LAN. We've further simplified wireless LAN setup and management with the Centralized Management System, providing, either via the XM-3300 wireless LAN equipment or the XA-3300 software application.

About Xirrus

Xirrus has taken Wi-Fi to the next level, greatly simplifying wireless LAN setup while increasing capacity and range by integrating the WLAN switch and wireless LAN access point functionality into a single device--the Wi-Fi Array. With its groundbreaking wireless LAN architecture and use of all available non-overlapping channels, we've maximized capacity while minimizing TCO. No more will the solution to increasing capacity consist of installing more WLAN access points or other appliances, which results in only limited success up to a point, and after that diminished returns. With the Wi-Fi Array and the entire Xirrus family of wireless LAN equipment, network managers can rest assured that they've not only installed the solution to meet today's needs, but that their wireless LAN setup will support tomorrow's more demanding applications as well.
