Wireless Array Product Overview
Part of the family of Xirrus products, the Wireless Array is a high capacity, multi-
mode device designed with up to four times the coverage and eight times the
bandwidth and user density compared with legacy thin access point wireless
products. Its distributed intelligence eliminates the use of separate controllers and
their accompanying bottlenecks. Each radio, with its directional high-gain
antennas, can achieve up to 1.3 Gbps throughput.

The Wireless Array (regardless of the product model) is Wi-Fi® compliant and
simultaneously supports 802.11ac, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n clients.
The multi-state design allows you to assign radios to 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands
(or both) in any desired arrangement. Integrated switching and active enterprise
class features such as VLAN support and multiple SSID capability enable robust
network compatibility and a high level of scalability and system control. The
Xirrus Management System (XMS) allows global management of hundreds of
Arrays from a central location.
Multiple versions of the Array with different numbers of Integrated Access Point
(IAPs) support a variety of deployment applications.
