Why Choose the Xirrus Access Point?
Advanced Feature Sets
The Wireless AP offers a family of powerful functionality packages, including the
RF Performance Manager (RPM), RF Security Manager (RSM), RF Analysis
Manager (RAM), and Application Control. These four packages are separately
licensed for operation on your AP. RPM, RSM, and RAM are automatically
included as part of all APs. Application Control is an optional feature.
Xirrus Advanced RF Performance Manager (RPM)
The Xirrus RPM optimizes the bandwidth usage and station performance of
wireless networks. Leveraging the multiple integrated access point (multi-radio)
design of the Xirrus Wireless AP, RPM manages the allocation of wireless
bandwidth to wireless stations across multiple RF channels. The result maximizes
overall network performance with superior flexibility and capacity.
Today's wireless infrastructure is faced with ever increasing numbers and
variations of wireless enabled clients, whether in the form of notebooks, tablets,
smart phones, IP phones, printers, projectors, cameras, RFID tags, etc. The advent
of higher speed wireless and its increased use of the 5GHz spectrum adds to the
number of variables today's wireless networks must accommodate. Backwards
compatibility with older clients is crucial, however their operation in a wireless
network can significantly hinder the performance of faster clients. As an example,
802.11b wireless stations communicate more than 10 times slower than 802.11n
stations.
