Xirrus Removes the Uncertainty of the Upcoming 802.11n Standard With Upgrade Guarantee Program.WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. -- Xirrus, Inc., the makers of the patented high performance, long range Wi-Fi Array, today announced the launch of the Xirrus 802.11n Upgrade Guarantee Program. The modularity and pre-engineered capacity of the Wi-Fi Array allows Xirrus to offer the industry's first program that allows customers to upgrade from 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi Arrays to 802.11a/b/g/n. Additional information on the 802.11n Upgrade Guarantee Program and the upcoming IEEE 802.11n This article or section contains information about scheduled or expected future events. It may contain tentative information; the content may change as the event approaches and more information becomes available. IEEE 802.11n is a proposed amendment to the IEEE 802. specification can be found at www.xirrus.com/11n. "Many companies promise their products are 802.11n ready or pre-architected for 'n', but the harsh reality Harsh Reality are a little-known, proto-prog band born in Stevenage, Hertfordshire out of the remnants of the Freightliner Blues Band (formerly the Revolution) in the early sixties. is the typical controller plus thin access point deployment will require a complete forklift upgrade in order to handle the performance increase of 802.11n," said Dirk Gates, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Xirrus. "Customers who sign up for the Xirrus 802.11n Upgrade Guarantee Program will receive a factory upgrade to 802.11n radios and associated new software for an incremental cost Incremental Cost The encompassing change that a company experiences within its balance sheet due to one additional unit of production. Notes: Incremental cost is the overall change that a company experiences by producing one additional unit of good. over their initial investment." The long anticipated update to the popular Wi-Fi standards 802.11a/b/g, 802.11n is expected to bring more than 4 times the increase in throughput along with improved range. In advance of the standard being ratified, similar increases in performance and range are available today with Xirrus' dense 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi Array that uses high-gain directional antennas directional antenna n. An antenna that receives or sends signals most effectively in a particular direction. Noun 1. directional antenna - an antenna that transmits or receives signals only in a narrow angle and multiple radios. The following table provides a summary comparison between the various 802.11 standards. [TABLE OMITTED] Xirrus' Wi-Fi Array is the only truly upgradeable 802.11n platform on the market today that was designed from the ground up to support the standard once ratified, enabled by the following features: * Firmware-upgradeable MAC * Modular, Replaceable Radios * 2Gbps Switching Fabric - needed to handle the higher throughput of 802.11n * Dual Gigabit Uplink Ports A port on a network hub or switch that is used to connect to other hubs and switches rather than an end station.
