Wireless Access Point Product Overview
The Wireless AP 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.
Figure 2. Wireless AP (XR Series)
The Wireless AP (regardless of the product model) is Wi-Fi® compliant and
simultaneously supports 802.11ac (on .11ac models), 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 APs from a central location.
Multiple versions of the AP with different numbers of IAPs support a variety of
deployment applications.
