"Interop is the premier event series where IT professionals come to see and learn about the most important solutions the industry has to offer," said Lenny Heymann, General Manager of Interop. "As part of this series, InteropNet brings together selected technology companies to build and demonstrate a cutting-edge network so attendees can experience these technologies first-hand. Xirrus will help us deliver a powerful wireless network throughout the convention center using minimal devices, cables, and switch ports."

"We are honored to be selected once again by Interop's network and management team as the Wireless Provider for their events," said Dirk Gates, Founder and CEO of Xirrus. "The proliferation of Wi-Fi devices into the enterprise has caused IT professionals to focus less on coverage-based Wi-Fi and more on performance – the amount of bandwidth delivered and number of users supported in densely populated areas has become critically important. Like Switched Ethernet, our Wi-Fi Array architecture distributes the power and intelligence to the edge of the network, delivering better performance and security for users regardless of device or application."

Xirrus will showcase its powerful 802.11n multi-radio Wi-Fi Arrays throughout the events and at booth #1139. Come see the Power of Wi-Fi.
