Talking about their decision to deploy Xirrus equipment, Tom Paes, Network Manager at Tomlinscote School said, "I think I was firstly impressed on a technical level because all the other systems I've seen have a central network controller. Xirrus, however, puts what I would call... It's intelligence at the edge. I found this to be an amazing idea and obviously needed quite a bit of time to think about it -- but the more I thought about it, the more sense it made."

Tom continued by explaining why they chose Xirrus over other vendors, "I looked up all the major traditional wireless manufacturers and came to the conclusion that Xirrus was the one for us. Not just on a technical level, but because it provided, that no other one that I found could provide, the density of wireless connectivity we needed. With a laptop for every child... the density was leading, with a traditional wireless access point route, to having multiple access points in every ceiling... the sheer cost of this would be quite phenomenal. However with Xirrus' integration of a number of radios into one device... we decided that Xirrus was the way forward."
