High Performance Wireless Networks
XI R RU S IN B RIEF
When you depend on wireless. Depend on Xirrus. Wireless connectivity is needed everywhere. People now depend on it. According to ABI Research, there were 1.5 billion Wi-Fi enabled devices shipped in 2012. Innovative organizations are using those devices to engage with their customers, transforming businesses and ensuring connectivity under even the most demanding circumstances. Wireless replaces Wired. At Xirrus, our vision that wireless will replace wired as the primary choice for network access has reached a tipping point. As millions of new mobile devices enter the world daily, networks must cope with this “mobile tsunami.” And while the industry is recognizing the limitations of the traditional 2 radio thin AP with central controller architecture, more must be done. Years before others understood the need for improving Wi-Fi performance, Xirrus developed the Wireless Array anticipating the explosion in mobile device usage. In the midst of a mobile Internet revolution, a reliable wireless network is now a business necessity. Done right, it’s a strategic IT infrastructure advantage. Our customers agree. When Paul Hastings Law Firm asked us to deliver high-capacity wireless to their 18 offices worldwide, they were able to support their BYOD requirements and the explosion of new iPads and smartphones brought in by their over 1100 employees. When we were selected by Carnegie Mellon University to solve their density challenges in their dormitories and lecture halls, thousands of students and faculty were able to rely on the wireless network to conduct their learning. And when the Sands Expo and Convention Center asked us to cover 2.2 million square feet of convention floor space to support the world’s largest events, exhibitors and attendees experience wireless access so good, they blogged about it.
High Performance Wireless Networks
“As the number of devices connecting to our existing wireless infrastructure continued to rise, we realized it was time to implement a high-performance wireless solution.” SEARL TATE, Director of Engineering, Paul Hastings Law Firm
“What Xirrus can do with one array, a competitor requires 10 (or more) access points to do.” JUSTIN HERRMAN, IT Director, The Sands Expo and Convention Center

Wi-Fi Optimized.
APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES
While a typical wireless user is provisioned with less than 5% of the bandwidth of a typical wired network user, the new requirements of today makes this unacceptable. Optimizing all elements of the Wi-Fi network—at the User, Application, Device, Spectrum, and Capacity levels—is critical to ensure predictable performance, even under heavy load.

The Benefits of Smarter Wireless. • Highest Performance: From 2 to 16 radios per Array/AP and integrated controller to scale to handle the highest densities. • Application Control: Integrated next-generation application control that ensures applications respond predictably under heavy load.
The Components of Wi-Fi Optimization
Xirrus optimizes the Wi-Fi network with solutions that address the challenges of the mobile explosion and BYOD. It means getting users and their devices onto the network easily and securely, ensuring the applications they are using run smoothly, and providing sufficient capacity to handle unpredictable usage and future growth.
The Xirrus Difference. Xirrus provides predictable application performance over wireless through a broad range of wireless solutions—from a 2 radio AP up to a 16 radio Array—to match the requirements of low to ultra-high density use cases. The Xirrus wireless architecture is unique. Everything needed for a secure, high performance wireless LAN is built into each Xirrus wireless product. This integrated architecture provides faster installation through zero touch provisioning, full network management capabilities, and reduces total cost of ownership with up to 8X the wireless capacity per device versus comparable solutions.
• Comprehensive Security: BYOD onboarding, integrated firewall, and dedicated threat sensor for seamless, robust security. • Fully Upgradable: Modular chassis and 2.4GHz/5GHz software programmable radios to ensure upgrade-ability to future requirements • Flexible Management: Cloud-based and on-premise management options with zero-touch online equipment activation.
