High gain directional antennas

Each Xirrus AP maximizes performance and reliability by utilizing specialized high gain directional antennas that aim coverage and focus the energy of each RF signal. The antennas have a special integrated metallic reflector for isolation between APs allowing for directional beam patterns. This unique antenna configuration enables the AP to minimize correlation between channels and automatically compensate for RF disturbances within the coverage area. The space diversity created by the Xirrus antenna design maximizes the performance and range of RF coverage.

Flexible RF management

Each Access Point is software configurable to help the network engineer design and implement an efficient and reliable wireless network. Configurable parameters of the AP include:

* Band selection 2.4GHz or 5GHz

* Channel selection (automatic or manual)

* Transmit power level (automatic or manual)

* Receive sensitivity (automatic or manual)

* Data rates to control maximum connection speed

* Fixed mode option to define wireless protocol by channel for individual or multiple APs

* Traffic shaping controls for packet per second (PPS) or bits per second (BPS) to enable per user traffic or per SSID

The configuration settings provide granular control for the flexible management of the RF signal of the AP.
