Key Benefits

Application Control

Firewall, apply QoS, and manage 900+ application types under 15 categories using Layer 7 Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and other contextual application detection techniques.

2.4GHz Optimization

Extended radio power control range enables reduced 2.4GHz cell size coverage to optimize channel reuse in dense scenarios and improve user capacity. Honeypot Mode helps increase available wireless device density through management of spurious association traffic.

5GHz Optimization

With its 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios (one software programmable to either), the XR-520 will help you easily make the transition to a 5GHz centric network, when you are ready.

Bonjour Director Support

Extend Apple Bonjour protocols across Layer 3 boundaries for simple setup and configuration of commonly used shared Apple services such as Airplay and Airprint.

Bring Your Own Device

Integration with Xirrus Access Manager (XAM) allows guests and employees alike to use non-corporate configured wireless devices while the XR-520 enforces appropriate access policies.

Value Driven

For all of its advanced features, the XR-520 is still very cost competitive.

Discreet Aesthetics

At just 7.7” in diameter, the XR-520 is designed to be compact and aesthetically pleasing.
