Xirrus is a well known provider of High Performance Wi-Fi that delivers most coverage, bandwidth, and user density in the industry. Recently it announced that it is going to deploy Xirrus high performance 802.11n Wi-Fi Arrays at Professional Hospital Supply (PHS). PHS is headquartered in Temecula, California. Xirrus has seven branches extended throughout California, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah. PHS selected Xirrus as they were in need of least number of devices simultaneously providing a central management system to control all Arrays from a single location.
Dave House who is the vice president of information systems at PHS explains the reasons behind the demand for Xirrus when compared with their competitors in the market. The main reason for choosing Xirrus Wi-Fi Array platform is that it needs only a few access points when compared with a different Wi-Fi vendor, almost a two to one ratio. That means only half the switch ports, cable runs, and devices are required for installation and management.
House continues by explaining more reasons for selecting Xirrus. In a recent release he said that "We have a value-added reseller who we are closely aligned with and they had installed Xirrus Arrays in a number of other warehouses similar to ours. We were able to go out there and look at their deployments and were very impressed with what other people had to say about the Xirrus equipment – and they were right, the Arrays work very well."
"In configuring the Arrays we could do it from our corporate office and administer to the Arrays at all of our other facilities without having to send someone out there. The remote administration was a big tool for us in the other facilities and we still have four more facilities that we'll be deploying Xirrus in so central management and ease of configuration was a big reason for choosing Xirrus", added House.
Xirrus, Inc. produces the only wholly distributed, dense radio Wi-Fi architecture available in today’s market. The innovative Xirrus architecture delivers unique RF innovation and wireless performance on a single access point and system-wide basis. It needs only less number of devices, switch ports, and cabling which is easy to implement and maintain than traditional offerings, thereby speeding up Time-to-Value.
