Empowered Networks

Approach

Empowered understands Wi-Fi, and what it takes to deliver performance.

We recommend the Xirrus family of patented, fully standards-compliant Wi-Fi Arrays.  These devices provide an unparalleled level of capacity, range, coverage, and performance to deliver Wi-Fi service that can replace the functionality of a traditional Ethernet switch, at reduced deployment and ownership costs compared to traditional networks – Wi-Fi or Wired.

Unlike other Wi-Fi solutions, the Xirrus Wi-Fi Array approach offers:

• Distributed intelligence - Data and control planes are fully distributed to the network edge, delivering intelligent wired-like performance
• Dense radios – Support clients at more channels simultaneously, for unmatched user and device capacity
• Multi-Sector Antenna Systems - High-gain Directional antennas arranged in a circular pattern deliver greater range, bandwidth, and RF control.  
• Reliability - Survivability by design at the access point, controller, wireless backhaul, wired uplink, and power supply levels backed by a 5 year warranty

The strengths of the Xirrus Wi-Fi Array architecture are:

• Lower Upfront Costs requiring 75% fewer devices, cable pulls, switch ports, space and energy while reducing the time to deploy by 75% over competing solutions.
• More Bandwidth per cable drop than any other Wi-Fi product available today  
• More Coverage through high-gain sectored antennas that focus the RF energy into a single direction, like a Cellular Antenna, reducing co-channel interference.
• More Users supporting concurrent wireless access to support hundreds of voice, video, and data users, for up to 1,024 users per cable drop,.  No other Wi-Fi vendor comes close.
