Xirrus High Density Wireless Access Points
Xirrus APs are designed to provide distributed intelligence, integrated
switching capacity, application-level intelligence, increased bandwidth,
and smaller size. The radios support IEEE802.11 ac, a, b, g, and n clients,
and feature the capacity and performance needed to replace switched
Ethernet to the desktop. Modular radios allow you to increase the
number of radios, upgrade to more powerful radios, or even upgrade
later to future technologies like 802.11ac and 802.11ad as they are
introduced.
