The standards-compliant, patented Xirrus Wi-Fi Array® is the only Wi-Fi device that can effectively provide users a “wired” experience over Wi-Fi.

The Wi-Fi Array product family consists of 4, 8, 12, or 16 802.11abgn radios, integrated with a high-gain, directional antenna system, multi-gigabit switch, controller, firewall, threat sensor, and spectrum analyzer into a single, easy-to-install device.

  • 802.11abgn Wi-Fi Arrays - The Xirrus Wi-Fi Array delivers 4X more coverage, 8X more bandwidth, and 14X more throughput per cable drop - using 75% fewer devices, cables, and switch ports with the fraction of the installation time.
  • Rapid Deployment Kits - The Xirrus Rapid Deployment Wi-Fi Kit includes all elements needed to transport and deploy a high performance wireless network for hundreds of users, to support Disaster Response, Conferences, Festivals and other events.
  • Management System - The Xirrus Management System (XMS) provides centralized configuration and RF management, security control and policies (IDS/IPS), performance monitoring, and reporting for hundreds of Arrays across a Layer 3 network.
  • Power Options - Xirrus offers both AC and Power over Gigabit Ethernet (PoGE) DC systems to provide simple, low cost options to remotely power Xirrus Arrays. The PoGE system delivers DC power in-line with the Array's Gigabit Ethernet data connection.
  • Enclosures - Xirrus offers a variety of indoor and outdoor enclosures and mounting options for the Wi-Fi Arrays, providing deployment flexibility for all kinds of environments and ensuring protection for mission-critical networks.

Key Features
