Installing the Wireless Array
Planning Your Installation
This section provides guidelines and examples to help you plan your Xirrus
Wireless Array deployment to achieve the best overall coverage and performance.
We recommend you conduct a site survey to determine the best location and
settings for each Array you install.
The following topics are discussed:
“General Deployment Considerations” on page 28
“Coverage and Capacity Planning” on page 30
“About IEEE 802.11ac” on page 37
“Failover Planning” on page 47

General Deployment Considerations
The Wireless Array’s unique multi-radio architecture generates 360 degrees of
sectored high-gain 802.11a/b/g/n/ac coverage that provides extended range.
(Note that XR-500/600 Series radios are omni-directional rather than sectored.)
The number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings or other objects that the
wireless signals must pass through may affect the range. Typical ranges vary
For a complete discussion of implementing Voice over Wi-Fi on the Array,
see the Xirrus
Voice over Wireless Application Note
in the Xirrus
Resource Center
.
For optimal placement of Arrays, we recommend that a site survey be
performed by a qualified Xirrus partner.
