Introduction 17
Key Features and Benefits
This section describes some of the key product features and the benefits you can
expect when deploying the Wi-Fi Array (the XN16 product is highlighted in this
section).
High Capacity and High Performance

The XN16 version of the Wi-Fi Array (Figure 7) easily handles time-sensitive
traffic such as voice, and can enable wireless connectivity for 1,024 users. The unit
includes two Gigabit uplink ports for connection to the wired network. A total of
sixteen IAPs provides a maximum wireless capacity of 4.8 Gbps, which offers
ample reserves for the high demands of current and future applications. Of the
sixteen IAPs, twelve operate as 802.11a/n radios (5 GHz band), and four operate
as 802.11a/b/g/n radios (5 GHz or 2.4 GHz bands), providing backwards
compatibility with 802.11b and 802.11g.
