Leading wireless network provider, Xirrus, this week unveiled a new Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) model - Xtreme Density (XD) Wi-Fi - that comes with 4x 802.11ac radios to deliver faster Wi-Fi connectivity to devices across the Internet of Things (IoT). The XD4 has the capability to self optimize performance with automated RF configuration.
Xirrus claims that the Xtream Density (XD) is the only AP available in the market that supports four times more users, reduces the amount of equipment deployed by 75 percent and decreases total cost of ownership by up to 50 percent compared to other similar offerings in the market.
In addition, the company announced the availability of special configuration & performance management tool, TurboXpress on all Xirrus XD access points. TurboXpress allows administrators to configure every radio on the AP for high-speed 802.11ac operation with the click of a mouse, providing an instant Wi-Fi performance boost of up to 6x, said Xirrus. The new WiFi APs can also be managed via the Xirrus Management System (XMS), hosted either in the cloud or on-premise to centrally control and oversee the operation and maintenance of tens to hundreds of APs towards optimizing performance and ensuring enterprise-grade wireless reliability.

With different devices and applications competing for bandwidth on wireless networks, one AP is not enough to maintain acceptable performance. XD solves this problem by integrating more 802.11ac radios per AP than any solution in the market, and eliminating the central controller from the network. This combination establishes the Xirrus XD as a solution that not only performs better, but actually reduces implementation and ongoing operational costs – a win-win for everyone.
