Xirrus Sets New Performance Benchmarks with 802.11N Wi-Fi Array

(Product News, 29 Apr 2008)

Xirrus Inc. has announced new 802.11n performance benchmarks, both a system and individual radio level, with four, eight, or 16 802.11 a/b/g/n radios per Wi-Fi Array and a patented, integrated design. The multi-radio architecture of the Xirrus Array, together with on-board switching and controller intelligence, delivers performance that traditional Access Point products are incapable of achieving.

With 1Gbps, 2Gbps, or 4Gbps of Wi-Fi bandwidth in a single 802.11n Array, Xirrus further extends its lead in replacing wired Ethernet workgroup switches with Wi-Fi. Its multi-radio 802.11n takes mesh networking to an entirely new level with up to 900Mbps of wireless backhaul bandwidth per link between Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays. Each Array supports four dedicated mesh backhaul links, each with the ability to lock up to three 802.11n radios per link on separate channels.

In addition, Xirrus has achieved 802.11n TCP throughput on a single radio of over 200Mbps,beyond what any other vendor has demonstrated to date. The patented Array design enables high performance through multi-radio control to minimize interference and maximize use of Wi-Fi spectrum bandwidth.

Xirrus is currently exhibiting its 802.11a/b/g and 802.11n Wi-Fi Arrays at the INTEROP Conference 2008 in Las Vegas, April 27 to May 2.
