CompNow wants to let you know that Xirrus's wireless networking architecture isn't just better. It's 4x better.

Traditional wireless architectures consist of thin APs connected to a central controller. The controller resides in the backend of the network and performs control, security and management functions for multiple (often hundreds) of APs. The three biggest issues with this approach are traffic congestion, single point of failure, and unencrypted data from the AP to the controller.

Our approach integrates the controller function into the Wireless Array to distribute the intelligence, much like wired edge switches. By distributing the network, you get better performance and encryption all the way out to the edge. What's more, our approach simplifies the deployment, making it more flexible and cost effective.


What does it mean to you
There are numerous advantages to our approach:

• Designed for pervasive enterprise coverage, not just hotspots
• Designed for density of BYOD, not just 10 people in a conference room
• Designed for multi-media and critical applications, not just email and web browsing
• Designed to be adaptive and upgraded as requirements grow, not replaced as technology changes
• Designed to lower total cost of ownership by requiring less equipment and infrastructure, not more
