I just completed the Technical Training with Xirrus at a session in Dallas.
The arrays are designed to go way beyond just worrying about signal strength
("coverage") throughout a building or venue. They tackle the problem of how
much bandwidth each connected client has available, which is something I
have not had the tools to worry about with other WiFi manufacturers.
They seem robust and full featured. They have been around for a while too,
so going with Xirrus Arrays is not a beta test of their product. They are
at least in their third generation of the product now.
Cool stuff!

I know this is a little outside of the traditional NANOG realm but...
I have a customer looking at a fair number of Xirrus Wireless Arrays for
802.11a/b/g/n implementations and am looking for some real world insight
into them. On the cover they look cool, the white papers look cool, but I
am yet to find technical commentary from a real person on these devices.
Looking at the XN line, and just curious if anyone has deployed these,
supports these or knows anything about them.
Thanks!
Blake
