Abstract
Xirrus Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the performance of its IEEE 802.11a/b/g XS-3x00 family of Wi-Fi Arrays. These devices combine the functionality of a WLAN switch/controller with Integrated Access Points (IAPs) in a single device. The Wi-Fi array includes 16 high-gain, multi-sector antennas housed in a circular enclosure.
Engineers deployed and configured a single Xirrus XS-3900 Wi-Fi Array to evaluate the maximum number of simultaneous active users supported. Moreover, the device was tested for both transmission rate and signal range. Tests were conducted in August 2006.
