Wireless Array
Introduction 17
SDMA Optimization
SDMA (Spatial Division Multiple Access) technology provides full 360° coverage
while allowing independent channel and power output customization. Also
supports fast inter-zone handoffs for time-sensitive applications and roaming.
Fast Roaming
Utilizes the Xirrus Roaming Protocol (XRP) ensuring fast and seamless roaming
capabilities between IAPs or Arrays at both Layer 2 and Layer 3.
Ease of Deployment
The Xirrus XMS and Mobilize services simplify and speed deployment of the
wireless network by automatically setting up each Array’s license, software
image, and initial configuration. When the Array is installed and has Internet
connectivity, it contacts Xirrus, which performs these initialization tasks.
Powerful Management
The Xirrus Management System (XMS) offers real time monitoring and
management capabilities for the wireless network.
Secure Wireless Access
Multiple layers of authentication and encryption ensure secure data
transmissions. The Wireless Array is 802.11i compliant with line-rate encryption
support for 40 and 128 bit WEP, WPA and WPA2 with TKIP and AES encryption.
Authentication is provided via 802.1x, including PEAP, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS,
EAP-SIM, EAP-GTC, EAP-AKA, EAP-AKA-Prime, and LEAP (Lightweight
Extensible Authentication Protocol) passthrough. Intrusion detection and
prevention provide proactive monitoring of the environment for threats.
Applications Enablement
The Wireless Array’s QoS (Quality of Service) functionality combined with true
switch capabilities enable high density video and Voice over Wireless LAN
deployments. Compliant with 802.1p and 802.1Q standards.
