The Xirrus Wi-Fi Array represents the next generation in Wi-Fi architectures - integrating up to 16 Wi-Fi radios with an onboard Wi-Fi controller, Gigabit Switch, Firewall, Spectrum Analyzer, and a dedicated Wi-Fi Threat Sensor into a single device.
Multiple radios are co-located in a circular configuration to create a radio "Array" that provides significant range, capacity, and RF management advantages. Each Integrated Access Point (IAP) uses a high gain, directional Antenna System to deliver increased transmit gain and receive sensitivity in all directions, resulting in up to 4x the coverage area of traditional AP / Wi-Fi controller architectures.
By implementing the intelligence at the edge of the network, rather than in a centralized controller, the Xirrus Array improves network efficiency, lowers latency, improves network throughput, and simplifies network deployment.
The Xirrus 802.11n Array uses 3x3 MIMO technology to support data rates up to 300 Mbps per radio. The Array has three built in antennas per IAP integrating up to 60 antennas into a single device. The Arrays unique architecture provides an easy to install, aesthetically pleasing solution with no need for external cables or antennas.
