Xirrus Introduces the Broadest Portfolio of High Density Wave 2 Wi-Fi Solutions

First to market with the only full featured Wave 2 solution, Xirrus provides unparalleled Wi-Fi performance up to eight times faster than the competition

Xirrus, the leading provider of next generation, cloud-enabled Wi-Fi networks, today announced new four and eight-radio high density 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi access points (APs) resulting in the broadest Wave 2 portfolio in the Wi-Fi industry. Xirrus offers the only software-defined Wi-Fi solution that enables an all Wave 2 solution, which delivers up to eight times the Wave 2 capacity per AP compared to competitive solutions.

The new four radio XD and eight radio XR high density Wave 2 solutions were built specifically to address the connectivity challenges that enterprises, educational institutions and public venues face. Launching the only adaptive Wi-Fi solution that provides the full suite of Wave 2 features, Xirrus delivers the highest performance and most adaptive cloud managed Wi-Fi solutions available.

As new Wave 2 devices emerge in the market, Wi-Fi networks must support these new technologies without requiring a complete network overhaul. According to a recent report, 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi solutions will become the highest shipping Wi-Fi standard in the near future.

“With Wi-Fi user experience and connectivity expectations at an all-time high, organizations cannot ignore new technology standards when upgrading network infrastructure,” said Matthias Machowinski, senior research director, IHS. “The Xirrus Wave 2 portfolio includes features to address requirements for fast, reliable, and flexible Wi-Fi across a broad range of environments, including high density deployments.”

Xirrus XD and XR Wave 2 solutions provide:

• Superior Wi-Fi experience – Full suite of Wave 2 Wi-Fi features on all AP radios, each capable of up to 3.47 Gbps (faster than any other solutions on the market) and four-stream multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO)
• Adaptive architecture – Software-defined solution works with existing infrastructure and empowers one-click migration to a 100 percent Wave 2 network when needed
• Flexible Management – Cloud-based or on-premise Xirrus Management System (XMS) offers zero-touch provisioning and integrated EasyPass access control at no additional charge

“Xirrus offers the fastest Wi-Fi on the planet with the broadest and most flexible portfolio of Wave 2 products available on the market,” said Bruce Miller, VP of product marketing, Xirrus. “Many Wi-Fi vendors offer Wave 2, but none offer the full spectrum of features and speed available with the latest standard. Xirrus Wave 2 solutions provide the greatest flexibility, density and adaptivity at the lowest cost in the industry.”
