The Xirrus Array (regardless of the product model) is Wi-Fi® compliant and
simultaneously supports 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g clients. 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
optional Xirrus Wireless Management System (XM-3300) allows global
management of hundreds of Arrays from a central location.
The XS-3700 and XS-3500 versions of the Wireless LAN Array deliver a
correspondingly lower capacity than the XS-3900.
Enterprise Class Security
The latest and most effective wireless encryption security standards, including
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) with 802.11i AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
are provided with the Xirrus Array. In addition, the use of an embedded RADIUS
server (or 802.1x with an external RADIUS server) ensures user authentication—
multiple Arrays can authenticate to the optional XM-3300 ensuring only
authorized Xirrus Wireless LAN Arrays become part of the wireless network.
Rogue AP detection and site monitoring is performed in the background by the
Array automatically.
