The Xirrus Advantage
The Xirrus Wi-Fi Array obsoletes all other Wi-Fi offerings and is the only Wi-Fi device capable of replacing Ethernet workgroup switches.
| Features | Benefits |
| Multi-Radio Architecture | Maximum usage of the Wi-Fi spectrum for greater bandwidth and user density. |
| 4 radios in XS4 | 216 Mbps of bandwidth supporting 256 clients per device. |
| 8 radios in XS8 | 432 Mbps of bandwidth supporting 512 clients per device. |
| 16 radios in XS16 | 864 Mbps of bandwidth supporting 1,024 clients per device. |
| Onboard 2Gbps Wi-Fi Switch and Controller in each device | Puts the control, processing, intelligence, and security at the edge closer to the client resulting in higher performance. |
| High-Gain, Directional Antennas | Focused signal reaches further than traditional omni-directional antennas delivering 2X the range and 4X the coverage – resulting in 75% fewer devices, cables, switch ports, and installation time. |
| Single, integrated design | Self-contained device includes radios, controller, switch, and antennas to greatly reduce and simplify installation and setup time, including rapid deployment scenarios. |
| Modular radio boards | Hardware upgradeable to new standards, e.g. 802.11n, etc. |
| FPGA-based hardware | Software upgradeable to new standards, e.g. 256-bit AES, etc. |
| Embedded Wi-Fi Threat Sensor | Dedicated 24/7 threat detection and protection across all channels without the need for separate overlay or time-sliced sensor network. |
| Multi-level redundancy | Comprehensive redundancy at the power, device, radio, wired uplink, and wireless backhaul level for enterprise-grade, mission critical application resiliency. |
| Radio Assurance | Dedicated monitor radio in each device systematically tests the other radios in the device by mimicking a client and can execute self-healing actions. |
| Multi-radio Wi-Fi Meshing | Bond up to 3 radios per bridge, and define up to 4 bridges per Array, for dedicated, non-time shared wireless backhaul with up to 162 Mbps bandwidth per link. |
| Embedded Spectrum Analyzer | 24/7 distributed monitoring of noise and activity on all Wi-Fi channels. |
| Distributed, hardware-based encryption | FPGA-upgradeable line-rate encryption/decryption at the edge that scales seamlessly as the network grows. |
| Embedded Stateful Firewall | Policy and protocol based access at the edge of the network, closer to the client. |
| Dual Gigabit Uplinks (XS8/XS16) | Redundancy, load balancing, and capacity already sized for 802.11n. |
| FPGA-based QoS | Field programmable/upgradeable traffic prioritization and queuing in each device. |
| Sharp Cell Technology | Patented technology maintains high data rates and more cleanly defines cell edge. |
| Upgradeable Internal Memory | Future-proof and easy upgradeability for new requirements. |
Selecting Your Wi-Fi Network
When selecting your Wi-Fi system, ensure that you are comparing apples-to-apples:
- Have you calculated how much bandwidth and throughput is needed per user?
Because Xirrus delivers more bandwidth and throughput per cable drop, effectively replacing Ethernet workgroup switches. - Have you calculated how many radios you will need to support your user population?
Because Xirrus delivers more radios using more channels per cable drop, providing far more user flexibility while using fewer devices. - Have you calculated how many devices you will need to install?
Because Xirrus covers more area per device, far fewer devices are required reducing complexity and installation time. - Have you calculated how much new cabling you will need to pull?
Because Xirrus uses fewer devices, far fewer new cable pulls are required saving significant time and cost. - Have you calculated how many switch ports you will use?
Because Xirrus requires fewer devices and cables, far less switch ports are required saving significant cost. - Have you calculated how long it will take you to install your Wi-Fi network?
Because Xirrus requires fewer devices, cables, and switch ports, far less installation and configuration time is required. - Have you calculated how much power and closet space you will consume?
Because Xirrus provides more coverage, bandwidth, and throughput per device, you will save both on energy and closet space. - Will your Wi-Fi vendor at NO COST TO YOU…
