"We needed a scalable and resilient Wi-Fi network to give us the infrastructure to pick, pack, ship and monitor orders throughout our facility in a real time fashion." Marc Mendez |
|
"The nature of our site is that one or two classrooms at a time will be using the Internet. We needed to be able to offer reliable and high-speed wireless Internet access for research as part of our commitment to providing state-of-the-art facilities to our students and faculty." Donald L. Hense |
|
"We needed a powerful wireless network that would stand on its own – providing the bandwidth needed for our corporate applications and be simple for our IT staff to manage – Xirrus was the right choice." Mike Panesis |

"Wireless LANs are entering a new era, one defined not by coverage alone, but rather by capacity. Xirrus has created a novel new architecture, and in fact a whole new class of wireless LAN, that addresses the voice and data needs of enterprises in this new era." Craig J. Mathias |
|
"Xirrus' WLAN Array has the potential to leapfrog existing WLAN architectures by combining the thinnest possible access points with the most extensive, intelligent coordination and collision avoidance technology. By optimizing range and channel utilization while actually decreasing investment, the architecture helps to improve the business case for full-blown enterprise WLAN deployments and promotes the migration of applications like voice onto the Wi-Fi network." Aaron Vance |

"The Xirrus architecture definitely addresses the fact that emerging applications are driving the evolution of WLANs towards 802.11a to gain more non-overlapping channels. The Xirrus WLAN Array allows companies to leverage the standard and adopt applications such as VoWLAN at their own desired pace while improving the return on their investments in 802.11 b/g."
